Favorite Holiday Movie

[R_J_K75]

really? Classic Historic drama about Henry II's Christmas Banquet, Peter OToole as Henry and Katherine Hepburn as Eleanor of Aquitaine. Lots of court intrigue and politics, great movie

Never saw it. The TV antenna rabbit ears must have been pointing in the wrong direction that year. Honestly, I never even heard of it.

 

[R_J_K75]

it's a great movie with a great cast including a youngish Timothy Dalton and Anthony Hopkins

I'll see if I can stream it

The Hogfather, of course

The Hogfather, of course

Is that an adult movie title?

Nope, it's the BBC adaptation of Terry Pratchett's novel of the same name. The Hogfather is the Discworld's sorta-equivalent of Santa.

You don't say. I did run the ModernAGE adventure "feral Hogs" I think it was, that was fun. And then there's Algie the pig who broke his moors....

Die Hard and Gremlins for me



Its a Wonderful Life is a terrible movie about maintenance of the status quo and duty of the working class to carry the burden of incompetent and corrupt bankers

Funny, but I always saw it as a movie about someone, who wanted to break the cycle, and the community who both appreciated and supported him.

Probably the best of the Discworld movies so far, but they all tend to suffer from Dr Who levels of low budget videography, second rate effects and ham* acting - admittedly the ham acting might be deliberate given the source material and its pantomime sensibilities

*pun only slightly intended

Him in Bill Murray beat the hell out of each other backstage on SNL in 1976ish

Yep - hearing how he acted on the set of Community (GREAT show by the way) really turned me off to Chevy

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is my go to.

Saw this one last night and still makes me laugh
