Christmas Movies

I am a member of the Etsy Bloggers Street Team, and twice a month there is a blog carnival suggested by a member. This month Mystic Wynd is helping us get into the spirit by sharing our favorite holiday films.
Every year a few new Christmas movies hit theaters, some I want to see and others just don't appeal to me. This year I'd like to see the Disney Christmas Carol in 3-D. Sadly for me I'm not allowed to go to movie theaters because of germs, and I know it won't be the same on TV next year. We've all got our favorites, maybe even more than one.I've got a bunch, from the sentimental 1947Miracle on 34th Street with little Natalie Wood, the musical White Christmas with Bing Crosby & Rosemary Clooney, and the hysterical A Christmas Story, each year waiting for Ralphie to shoot his eye out, hopefully while wearing that bunny outfit! These films get mentioned all over the blogs I visit, but I never read any praise for 1988's Scroogedstarring Bill Murray, Karen Allen, Alfre Woodard, and a host of other amazing actors. It's one of the two DVDs I actually own, that's how much I like it! Murray is hysterically, evilly mean in the Scrooge roll, down to sending his brother a towel for Christmas! The Ghost of Christmas Future is extremely scary, and the other two, played by Carol Kane and David Johannsen are wicked funny! If you've never seen this version of A Christmas Carol, you really need to. It's not televised very often, but it is available on Netflix, and usually On Demand in December. I thought I'd let you see the movie trailer, just to whet your appetites!
