Have always watched this many times over the years. Will continue to do so.
I hate Christmas! Seriously
2:14 Check other listing times for Mr Grinch..
I might actually go see this! I wish they would show Christmas Vacation on the big screen!
These are nice and all. I grew up watching Ernest Saves Christmas. And yes, we lived in a single wide so we didn't have a real chimney. 1991 was the year we got an SNES and was the best Christmas EVER!
In an era when Hollywood was doing its best to shame people into burning their Victorian furniture, and leveling their Victorian homes, THIS movie made it OK and romantic, to own and restore one. For that, Paramount deserves praise.
Our Decorator has sourced, over the decades, various architectural details from Paramount's Staff Shop - cast off the originals. So, I've grown familiar with that studio's early films. While studios like RKO pumped-out preachy films that were wall-to-wall propaganda (The Farmer's Daughter comes to mind, with Ethel Barrymore's condescending smirks telling us exactly what we were not allowed to think), Paramount held-back, despite huge pressure.
Following WWII, studio heads were made to know that what had happened in Germany, could easily happen, here. The Nazi Ratline was importing murderers heralded as "Freedom Fighters', and studio heads were basically told: "pander to us, or else".
But the Pro-immigration pandering, in 'It's a Wonderful Life' is limited. It's a great movie. For one thing, we get to say, "Jackson! It's like Bedford Falls, if George Bailey had never been born - only WORSE!"
