What Is Your Favorite Christmas Movie?
Toast:
A Christmas Story
I cannot imagine people analyzing a movie and buying memorabilia from it
But ..... lol.
If you love Christmas Story, then you would love to have Bobble-Heads from the movie.

I must have watched SCROOGE (1970) with my family ten times in 1970's when it came on tv. I have the dvd. The lyrics are quite good and ALbert Finney is wonderful. The cast being all British lends an air of authenticity to it. Great sets as well. I think it also had the best ghosts...
The Scrooge in hell scene was deleted for tv. Maybe it was running too long or you kinda figured out where he was going to end up at. It's in the DVD.

Don't get me started on this movie. Every scene every word of dialogue is priceless.
My Fav LINE: You'll put your eye out.

And of course Charlie Brown will always play into my Christmas plans.

Something funny about this movie: it wasn't until years later that I realized this movie takes place in Indiana. For years I thought it took place in Cleveland, Ohio. Later I found out it was filmed in Cleveland (and Toronto, Ontario) but the story is set in Indiana. Maybe I was confused because the family lived on Cleveland Street. I don't know. I'm a dingbat.
I didn't care for this movie the first few times I watched it. It grew on me. I guess TBS helped a bit by playing the movie over and over again on Christmas Eve.
My favorite scene in the movie is the flag pole dare! :D
My sister and I use to dare each other to stick our tongues on the metal ice cube trays when we were kids. WHEW!!! God, that was terrible. But for some reason, I love the flag pole scene. I have a sick sense of humor I guess. :P
I also like the "soap" scene. I had my mouth washed out with soap numerous times when I was a kid. But it wasn't Lifeboy. It was Ivory. Oh, it tasted terrible. YUCK! >:(

Scrooge was a great childhood favorite of mine as well; I saw it more than once at the theater with my family. "Happiness is Whatever You Want It to Be" is still stored in my memory bank. This is by far my favorite film adaptation of this Dickens classic.

You're so upbeat and positive more. :) The song that sticks with me and my sister all these years later is "I thank you very much". So much so, we recalled it when Capital One did a commercial with the song last Christmas. Why we favored that song, I don't know. Morbid sense of humor, I suppose. For those who have seen it and know when the song is sung, you'll know what I'm talking about. ;D
