Generally speaking, they are much of a muchness. They are traditionally British, and I'm not sure how well they travel overseas

As a basic guide, '...Sergeant*' is a good one, but unrepresentative of the series. The gags are the same, but there is none of the smut that would characterise the later films in the series.

'...Nurse', '...Teacher' and '...Constable' showed the team setteling into their roles.

'...Regardless' is more of a "sketch-show" rather than a traditional narrative

'...Crusing, Cabby and Jack' are more of the same.

Most people seem to think that the genre spoofs are best, so a good place to start (for traditional smut-filled Carry On's) would probably be '...Spying, Cleo. Cowboy, Screaming*, Don't Lose Your Head, Follow That Camel and Up the Kyber*'.

'...Doctor, Camping, Again Doctor, Up the Jungle, Loving, Henry, At Your Convenience, Matron* and Abroad' are all kinda standard - the team were well established, and seemed to be going thru the motions.

'...Girls, Dick, Behind, England, That's Carry On! [compilation of scenes from the films], Emmannuelle and Columbus' are best avoided

The ones that I have marked with an '*' are ones that I personally enjoy
