It's Christmas time again

I've always loved that story, Paddy. Thanks for posting it. Didn't know it was a movie.

Don't forget Meet Me In St. Louis. That's where we get one of our nicest Christmas songs from. Also My Favorite Wife with Cary Grant in his Santa suit.

Around the world in 80 days with David Niven
and
Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N. with Gregory Peck
are the movies I see every Christmas.

Oh my goodness, the Happy Prince - yes! That always makes me a little tearful. Unlike Raymond Briggs' Father Christmas, which makes me grin a lot. And The Snowman, which makes me do both.

A muppet christmas carol.
what? It's a fun movie!

I thought that was a real good version of a Christmas Carol. I adore it.

Its A Wonderful Life is my number one followed by Miracle on 34th St.(goes back to my Maurene O'Hara thing) and A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott. I used to watch the above mentioned A Christmas Carol with my Dad every year with out fail and every year with out fail it gave me nightmares, those Spirits really gave me the willies. I think I may just go and pop the DVD in now since this thread has stirred up those old feelings and if I get to scared maybe my dear wife will protect me from those boogers and haints lol lol lol .

Regards,
J.S.

Just a few years ago I just discovered "Its a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart.
I mean I never saw it from beginning to end only bits. It a favorite old time classic of many.
My personal favorite is Bill Murray's updated Scrooge. With a cast like Alfre Woodard, Carol Kane, Bob (Bobcat) Goldthwaitm, Robert Mitchum and many more. It has the Christmas theme, its a treat, fun and oh yeah "The Night the Reindeer Died" starring Lee Majors lol

but has anybody seen An American Christmas Carol starring Henry Winkler, set in the 30s and shot in Canada?

It's not as bad as you'd think.

I haven't thought about that one in a long time. It was pretty good.

My all time favorites are:
Holiday Inn
White Christmas - I always cry when the General steps out and sees the men from his unit.
It's a Wonderful Life

I did enjoy Christmas With the Kranks last year.
