I'm with you on the Alistair Sim Scrooge, Minxie. The Miracles on 34th Street dont do it for me. bah humbug!! >

I collect the "Christmas Carol" movies and I agree with you, Minxie, the
one with Alistair Simm is my favorite, too.

I just received "Bernard and the Genie." I saw it soon after it was made and fell in love with it.

I've not heard of Bernard and the Genie....where does it originate and what is
it about?

I still love White Christmas. And The old version of Miracle on 34th Street.

I don´t actually know many Xmas films, but Scrooge, definitely, but I prefer George C. Scott, for the simple reason that I´ve never seen another version and also that Scott looks exactly like the Scrooge in my imagination. Time for that film now by the way, it´s snowing very hard and I´m getting a cold, time for cosiness!

Alastair Sim was I think the best but I thought Patrick Stewart was very good in the more recent re-make.

I watched the Albert Finney musical scrooge the other day. A strange version from all the other oldie films
I did see Alistair Simms scrooge coat in Planet Hollywood orlando, I was so excited I still have a photo of it somewhere

I never got into old classics. I recently posted about Chevy Chase's series of Vacation movies. Even though it is simply a silly 80's comedy, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is hilarious.

During this time a lot of American stations play "A Christmas Story" by Bob Clark. This is a 1983 film which is a pure comedy showing 1940's life of kids in the Chicago suburbs.

For anyone who hasn't seen either of these, I highly recommend them.

??? Any views on the Bill Murray film Scrooged??(I never really liked it ) :-\

My husband likes the Christmas Carol with George C. Scott the best.
The re-make with Patrick Stewart is somewhat strange. (to me, anyway)

 

[Rhi]

That films been on today, Dick. I didn't get the chance to see it.

I´ve seen it, but never really liked it either. It´s not all bad, but somehow it´s too hectic and silly, I don´t know. I only like the ending.

I liked it, just not quite as much as my two recommendations. I do find it worth watching though.
