Let's just say it is really good but much darker with much more backstory (Dickens never could write a decently fleshed out character). I was very pleasantly surprised.

Yes I was watching it the other day but fell asleep on it, not because it was boring but because I was too tired , but I will watch it again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You cant. Not with Covid. Of course this one is on yearly with any cable, satellite or streaming service. I own the DVD, its color on one side and black and white on the other. I usually watch it in black and white. It puts it more in perspective. For 1951 they do an excellent job on the ghost scenes. Better than many current high tech ones. IMO. The 1938 version with Reginald Owen is worth praise also. And June Lockhart's family is in that one. Two members. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stryder1978 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I was so bored over the Holidays that I watched WW 1984....and I hate comic book movies to begin with. OMG, what a steaming pile of poo that movie is! Do not...I repeat....DO NOT waste your time on this! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Strider Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Freddie, Jackie, Mickey…three of the biggest child stars ever in one movie! So many Dickens adaptations in the 1930s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kipper Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) Fatman (2020) I really enjoyed this dark comedy Christmas tale with Mel Gibson. This now is my favorite Christmas film after Bad Santa (2003) with Billy Bob Thorton. If you like films that are "in the style of" a Coen Brothers type of story, you may enjoy this film.

Strider Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Finished my David Bowie movie marathon (for his birthday January 8 and his deathday January 10) with these two. I saw "Christiane F." about a year before I went to Berlin and it prepared me for the real Zoo Station. You literally could not make this movie today.

Strider Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Something light and funny and amusing…and, coincidentally, both set in France. "The Aristocats" is the last film Walt Disney greenlit before he died. One of the last classic animation films from the golden days of Disney's "Nine Old Men": Ollie Johnston and crew. Splendid voices in the cast…Sterling Holloway, Eva Gabor, Phil Harris, Scatman Crothers, Nancy Kulp, and Pat Buttram. The Jazz Cats "Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat" scene is swinging.
