I'll have to admit I was having a little trouble drawing comparisons with "Die Hard", "White Christmas" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" but there you have it, so may I Add "Make the Yuletide Gay" and leave it at that!

"cinematic equivalent of confessing that you spend your weekends throwing seal pups in front of trains" Oh, for god's sake, can TO please desist? This cynicism-dressed-in-satirical-hyperbole is just asinine, and reeks of a School magazine's rejected contributions (I edited the School mag back in my youth, and I know whereof I speak). Other posters on this thread have pointed out that TO's frequent, ongoing, and silly attempts at a sort of pseudo-highbrow laddishness means there is no space for serious reflection on the films themselves. John E. Orman points this out in his articulate and interesting mini-review of Alastair Sim's Scrooge; but I would like to ask Mr Orman to elaborate on the "Freudian subtext" of that movie, please.

The Bishop's Wife - a charmer!

An adult oriented Tinkerbell movie sounds fun to me......

Cynicism is the rather pathetic spawn of an artificial intelligence: sorry that the writer's tedious self-indulgence eclipsed a more practical analysis of Christmas-related movies. Our favorite remains the '51 adaptation of A CHRISTMAS CAROL (aka SCROOGE); Alastair Sim plays the title character not as a miser but a tormented lost soul (hence, his redemption is all the more cathartic). The direction has been described as pedestrian but it circumvents any distraction from Sim's passionate--and extremely credible--performance. A Freudian subtext is appended to the screenplay (it works!) but, bottom line, there ain't a dry eye in the house at the film's conclusion--even if you have previously screened the film at least 50x. I should know. Kindly ignore all other translations of the Dickens fable as well as the colorized version of this classic.
