What is your christmas viewing

A Christmas Carol*

As a reminder

*the 1951 film not some godawful newer version

Well Scrooge with Alastair Sim is on Talking pictures on Christmas Day so that’s on the list.

Bad Santa and Die Hard are the go to nonsense

 

[willipp]

Die Hard 2 is wonderful nonsense. Watched it for the first time in forever last Christmas and was struck by the power the tobacco lobby still yielded in 1990. Never mind the threat of terrorism, people are lighting up everywhere!

It’s an absolute must Xmas watch for me and the wife in the days leading up to Xmas. Normally get the kids in bed, nice bottle of red open and get die hard 2 on.

Home Alone if it’s on.

Call the Midwife followed by Mrs Browns Boys…..well on second thoughts maybe not.

It's actually called Scrooge, not a Christmas Carol. It's quite an entertaining take but far from the truest to the book and I guess that's the reason for the difference in the title.

I think I mentioned elsewhere that we have a Christmas film every evening from the 1st to 24th. We all enjoy them (to varying degrees). The best time of the year for me.

Between Christmas and New Year we usually watch a few classics such as Wizard of Oz, Zulu, Where Eagles Dare, Bond, Indiana Jones etc.

Does it end on a climax?

 

[searsleftpeg]

Christmas Vacation, bit of a tradition in our household.
So many phrases are now integrated into our conversation. The dogs got a bit of Mississipi Leg Hound in him,if he gets your leg ,best to let him finish Clarke.

Does it end on a climax?
