We watched this 87 year old Capra classic last night and we’re still talking about how this movie certainly has withstood the test of time. Its timeless message still rings true.
…..if you haven’t seen it yet, please just give it a chance!
We will be watching Elf while we wrap presents later today!
I just had to post this because only those “of a certain age” will understand it! 🤶🎄
Here are two whimsical tales with Edmund Gwenn in roles that are custom made for him. The first is very well-known, while the second is not. In the first, he is Santa, and in the second, a counterfeiter. In both, he is a kind, well-meaning old soul.
….there have been countless versions over the years, but this one remains my favorite no matter how many times I’ve watched it. The book is worth a re-read too!
We watched this sweet little TV Special last night. Despite its charming story and powerful message, it seems to have vanished into the mists of time. Well worth a look if you can find it.
An unadulterated view of Christmas through childhood’s lens. It’s not in everyone’s “top ten”, but we now watch it every December. A silly, fun bit of nostalgia.
I still appreciate this movie, but when I remember that Macaulay Culkin is now 45 years old, I feel ancient! 🤭
I’ve watched this gentle movie countless times. While I’ve always been fond of the Crooners from the 40s and 50s, I am never more so than during the holiday season. This movie is worth a watch just to hear Bing sing Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral. 🎶
This is definitely a movie that shows its age, but I still find it enjoyable and we always seem to watch it during Thanksgiving week. The sets are fantastical, but I do remember that the Three Little Pigs frightened me when I was 5 years old. It’s just a good old-fashioned “good triumphs over evil” movie with a dollop of whimsy!
Joyous Thanksgiving to everyone!
At the risk of being irreverent, I still find the ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ “Turkeys Away” episode funny. I loved this show in High School, and it seems to have been forgotten. (Those poor turkeys!) If you can find it, you might enjoy it. 🦃
This movie is dear to me because one of its themes is the hardships that many post World War II veterans and their families faced.
It is a sweet movie - not perfect - but it did garner a 7.6/10 on IMBd. It’s not a Christmas movie, but it has a lovely ten minute Christmas Eve scene towards the end.
It’s implausible and a bit dated, but its parable still rings true. Try it - you might like it!
Thanks again for this uplifting thread @LisaS961881 .
This is another staple to watch. Teamwork, friends and being thankful for what you have.
