I always liked the movie Scrooge from the 50's.

I would have liked to see the Grinch this year It's been a while since I saw it, but it wasn't on when I was watching tv.

The 24 hours of A Christmas Story on Turner has gotten to be a bit too much for me. I didn't watch it at all this year. It gets the overkill that It's a Wonderful Life used to have when every station had it on a half dozen times during the holidays.

Just watched Joyeux Noel again. Without doubt the best christmas movie ever. It captures the message of christmas - good will and humanity - far better than any other film, in my opinion. A beautiful movie.

Not exactly Christmassy, but nice gentle but verry funny humour, we watched Calendar Girls tonight (reminded me of Saving grace which isn't a bad thing) then watched Les Choristes which was great too! Two good films on Christmas Eve can't be bad.....

I tried to like that one, but about the best I can say for it is that it's better than the Michael Keaton version.

Just finished watching Scrooged.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Just watched most of It's a Wonderful Life-Frank Capra was a genius-the are weird pauses in the film where Stewart reminds me of Cage, or vice-versa-that doesn't mean I'm going to run out and rent The Family Man... :wink:

Wallace & Gromit's 'A Matter of Loaf or Death' (and :D Curse of the Were-Rabbit earlier). Good shows!

Edit - passed the small hours watching Bend it like Beckham. I worry about myself sometimes! Another great show!

I read this article today. This story should be a Christmas movie if ever there was a movie about anything.

We just watched a fantastic film - not Christmas-y, but perfect gentle humour suited to Christmas day.

'The Englishman who went up a hill and came down a mountain'

Even the title makes me laugh. great show.
