Title: Favorite Christmas Films
Post by: Patti on December 19, 2014, 12:54:PM
Apart from White Christmas I do love the Grinch...I think Mr Sadler is brilliant in this film. My grandchildren love it.  Although he is not one of my favorite actors his performance is outstanding.   

My son told me other night that he had to be sent to clinic to overcome his role as Grinch because he could not shake the character off in real life.  How sad!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

No that's the one where whenever you hear a bell ring an angel gets their wings.

 Love Chevy Chase and that particular film. Daughter met him in the singer " Prince's " club in Minneapolis. He looks just the same off-screen. A tall guy.

you have already named my favourites - the Grinch is a must and White Christmas

my favourite old films usually starred Gregory peck . To kill a mocking bird for example . When I was younger I loved curling up on the sofa and watching old black and white films.

James stewart as well - Harvey the invisible rabbit? Not a Christmas film but a classic

Not sure about its a wonderful life - I know its a classic - but not one of my favourites.

Love watching Home Alone!
I know, I know, but I also like Jingle All The Way with Arnold Scwarzenegger. It gets horrible reviews on IMDB, but I like it!  :P

Am recording a Christmas movie for later tonight!  ;D

Tell you what. There were several versions of Scrooge. I got fed up with it. Every film was a repeat this year. The only ones I enjoyed watching again were the Harry Potter series and the James Bond films. I wish they put on the Hobbit though. Or did they and I missed it?

Its been rubbish Mr Gee.  I settled down to watch something last and there was absolutely nothing worth watching.  In the end I came back into where the computer was and watched 3 documentaries on the MH370....I am convinced that the plane went down closer to Vietnam rather than the abis of the desolate sea off Western Australia.

I cannot believe that the plane did a u turn then turned left into one or two corridors and flew for 5 hours with no communication other than a ping.....or hand shake... Still it was very interesting so hear of all the theories, some far fetched, but one of them likely to be true.... :-\
