Bloody Good British Comedies (Clockwise / Are You Being Served? The Movie / The Best of Benny Hill)
»rank: 15260
0ur opinion: :Studio: Starz/sphe Release Date: 11/11/2OO8 Run time: 279 minutes Rating: Pg :Clockwise Monty Python's John Cleese makes this lighthearted farce work as a tightly wound, punctilious public school headmaster whose well-organized life unravels in a series of disasters on his journey to a conference. Cleese is a master of fussy, fastidious characters in exasperating situations, bottling up his frustration under good manners and sardonic comments until he finally blows, but he's also startlingly vulnerable as he systematically loses all sense of himself. Dressed in monk's robes ...

Are You Being Served? [Region 2]
»rank: 217718
0ur opinion: :Writers Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft managed something quite clever with this, the film version of the 197Os sitcom Are You Being Served? The idea of this cheery collection of comedy stereotypes--the pompous one, the vulgar one, the camp one, the shifty one, and so on--being confined within a department store was a master stroke, as it allowed any kind of situation to arise without the plot having to exceed the restrictions imposed by the set. How, then, to keep the same theme for the big screen ...
