The Dickens you say!....................
Greatest movie for Christmas. We watch the George C. Scott version every Christmas Eve. So much fun. Awesome message and great acting throughout. I always like the Jim Carry How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Very creative. Love this time of year.
“That’s in every contract. It’s called a sanity clause”
“You can’t fool me, there is no santa claus”
probably not even the right quotes from the movie.
If anyone knows the movie, then we are fast friends! :)
Is that the one where he broke through German lines and slapped a soldier?
No wait..
A Night At The Opera
Chico and Groucho

The Three Aviators lol!
Every Christmastide I watch the Sim and Lockhart films, as well as read the story.
Timeless.

“Hey you big bully! Quit picking on that little bully!”
Absolutely my personal favorite, too.

Christmas has become such a drudge job over the past few years for me.
I can skip it. The nieces and nephew get stuff, charitable donations get made, and the rest.
ROFL!!!!
“we get three feet away, and we run out of gas again, so we have to go back”
“next time a bring plenty of gas and we get half way there and guess what? we forgot the plane”
we could go days with quotes from that movie.
I’m no boy scout and I may curse a little too much here and there, though i’m working on it, but why does a comedy today have to have a million curses and crude, rude jokes that aren’t funny?
GOD!! It’s happened. I’m 49 and I already sound like my mother!!
Next i’ll set my TV station to songs from the 20s :)
1951 version with Alistair Sims.
Marx Brothers.............“A Night at the Opera,”.....1935..............
The Marx Brothers, “Minnie’s Boys”, were one of a kind.
ANOTHER FRIEND! :) OWN EVERY SINGLE MOVIE THEY MADE :)
I’m 49 but they were before ALL of our times but all ages still love them :)
Wll except today’s kids. Wouldn’t be enough cursing or gay scenes.
Never heard the phrase “Minnie’s Boys”.
What does it refer to?
LOVE Scott’s version. He captures the true heart of Scrooge who was not mean wicket man, but saw his action as good business and as Dickens wrote who’s spirit never roved beyond the narrow limits of his money-changing hole.
Stingy Old Scrooge--The Phil Moore Four (1953)
