...that explores the notion that Shakespeare wasn't that great a writer and was, in fact, simply a lusty man ever in search of a muse - or, in other words, a woman to lay that might, if he's lucky, give him some inspiration for a new play. I kind of like his style, actually. Trying to write "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter," Shakespeare - played by Joseph Fiennes - discovers he's suffering from writer's block, a phenomenon known to many of us ...
...appease both her desire for Shakespeare and the stage itself, Viola takes to the boards as a young boy and plays the part of Romeo in Will's new play. Shakespeare himself discovers quickly that this new muse has, indeed, unlocked his writer's block and he starts to write his new play, helped by the input of his financially depressed theatre owner, Hugh Fennyman (played by Tom Wilkinson) and his lead actor, Ned Alleyn, who ultimately suggests a new ...

Advantages: Surreal, obscure and laugh out loud funny

...people credit Johnny Knoxville with being the mastermind (debatable) behind MTV's Jackass, it was actually Jonze who was creator and executive producer of the show in 2000. He also acted as producer on both of the Jackass films (Number two to be released this year.) Jonze has tackled interesting and compelling subjects in his documentaries including a day in the life of Al Gore filmed shortly before the 2000 elections. Unfortunately, they were not ...
...by Morning and of course, Being John Malkovich. In 2008 a film adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story Where the Wild Things Are will be released directed by Jonze and starring big names such as Michelle Williams, Forest Whitaker, Catherine O'Hara and Benicio Del Toro. ***Being John Malcovich*** ***What is Being John Malkovich all about?*** This is going to be as brief as possible simply because if I explain the whole film in detail, ...

Advantages: Very, very funny and great music
Disadvantages: None for me, but might not be to everyone's taste

O Brother, Where Art Thou Where do you start with a Coen brothers film? In the world of modern film making they are in a genre all of their own, their films share a sensibility but trying to define them is a hopeless task. Often called mavericks they are actually very mainstream and produce very polished works a long way from their independent roots. Many of their films have been classified as screwball comedies but they are equally adept at producing ...
...'Miller's Crossing' they have stretched to comic chase movies like 'Raising Arizona' and the truly oddball 'Big Lebowski'. The one certainty with a Coen brothers film is that you shouldn't go into one with any preconceived expectations. The story~ Ulysses Everitt McGill (Clooney) needs to get home to stop his wife remarrying. Unfortunately he is a convict on a chain gang tied to two other convicts Pete (Turturro) and Delmar (Blake Nelson). In order ... Read review

Advantages: all the films
Disadvantages: more expensive than buying sepeartely.

If you want to own the whole carry on collection then this is a great product as it has every film inside it, however as other reviewers have said it is possible to get all of the dvds cheaper if you buy them seperately. A little more work, but worth it as I've seen a lot of these films on sale elsewhere for about £5 a time, some even less. The films themselves are classic British comedy with great innuendos everywhere, and many double entendres. ...
...or hate them, but for the carry on fans, me included, most of these films are hilarious and a great way of spending a rainy Sunday afternoon. There are of course the less great films (Carry on up the Khyber, Behind and Jack were my least favcourites) but there are many many more classic good films (camping, abroad, screaming, loving and Cabbie are porbably my favourites.) so if you wnat to make your own mind up about which of these films you like ...
