pgrahmm Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 It happens during a Christmas party & I believe he says "merry fkn Christmas + it was released around Christmas..... Given it's popularity, it was definitely a Christmas present for the studio.... Not in a traditional sense.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Crossy Posted December 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2021 For UK-ites of a certain age the Great Escape https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057115/ is synonymous with the Xmas period. Some might notice the similarities to another UK movie, Chicken Run 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard of Oz was always the Xmas movie to fall asleep to after Xmas lunch in my parents household. I don't think I ever managed to watch it all the way through. One year mum managed to cook the turkey with the plastic bag of giblets still inside. Nah, It'll taste OK, and it did.

Popular Post Gsxrnz Posted December 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2021 If a six-year old kid doesn't understand it or the language used is not suitable for that age group, it ain't a Christmas Movie. Probably the best Christmas movie ever made was Debbie does Santa. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwest5829 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) Ironic, I am watching right now! The Santa Clause, Home Alone, The Christmas Chronicles, It’s a Wonderful Life, there are more, including The Grinch but the most dear to my heart … Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol” with George C. Scott. The Spirit of Christmas Present … “Ignorance and Want … upon their brow is written doom”. Edited December 9, 2021 by wwest5829 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny, I have never thought of The Wizard of Oz as being a Christmas movie. Maybe a little bit too much Christmas cheer for Mom lol. My mother was an absolute spectacular cook the only thing I recall her ever is screwing up was brussel sprouts one Thanksgiving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScience Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 As a kid, the ghosts in Christmas Carol used to freak me out. I'm no fan of home alone I think I was just too old when it came out. It's not really about Christmas as I recall but it just has a bit of a theme. Could be Valentine's Day or groundhog Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, much like Nic Cage his movie career has had its ups and downs. Nevertheless, I think that Pulp Fiction was epic. There were parts of it that were silly as in any Tarantino movie and even dragged but overall it was definitely unique. If any of you have not watched Pulp fiction it is not a Christmas movie lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
