Yesterday I caught the original version of Yours, Mine, and Ours starring Lucille Ball & Henry Fonda. It was far superior to the remake version w/ Steve Martin. I was glad to have seen it.
This time of year the TV networks flood us with holiday-inspired stories. So I wanna know, what are you watching?
Merme
We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.
I try to find and watch the original Miracle on 34th Street if I can every year. I also like the more recent one but really love the original the most.

Although I'm not currently watching these,, I'm hoping to catch these old classics, These aren't as popular ,, But I still enjoy them and look to find them on the Classic Channel every Holiday season,
Holiday Inn Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire ~ Love that one,
The Bishops Wife,,Cary Grant, Loretta Young,David Niven
Christmas In Connecticut,,,,,,,, Barbara Stanwyck
Meet Me in St Louis ...Judy Garland I watch this one Cuz I love hearing her sing,,,," I'll be home for Christmas "
A Silly classic,, Babes in Toyland, ,,,,,Laurel and Hardy re-issued as March of the Wooden Soldiers
I like the corny fun ones too like...
,Christmas Vacation, with Chevy Chase
The Bad Santa Billy Bob Thornton, and
Ernest saves Christmas
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Great choices, Diane! I also enjoy Holiday Inn, The Bishop's Wife & Meet Me In St. Louis. (We love Garland). Babes In Toyland makes me laugh and cry now even as it did when I was a kid. My eldest sister was quite a singer and she would sing Toyland for us; I'd always bawl.

It's a good movie. It's not one that I'd watch again but it was worth it the first time. I didn't know much at all about Austrialian history so it's interesting.

I like the original too Merme. I like the 1st one with Steve Martin but not so much the 2nd. I like Steve Martin.
We're watching My Cousin Vinny. I liked it the first time 100 years ago but Johnny thinks it's the funniest movie ever and watches it every time it comes on. Like me and Raising Arizona.

I just saw a great deal advertized on TV--a new DVD with several Charlie Brown shows on it----sounds like a good idea to me!!! I will have to watch out for it---

I love that movie Merme.. But the new versioin of yours mine and ours is with Renee Russo and Dennis Quaid. The steve Martin Movie was Cheaper by the dozen. The Dennis Quaid movie is terrible, Renee Russo plays like a hippie type, and Dennis is the navy guy I adore the lucille Ball one. I watch it whenever its on. :wink:
Right! Kim. Thsnks for straightening out who acted in which movie!
Tonight we watched Meet Me In St. Louis, an all time favorite and now we are watching In The Good Old Summertime. These period pieces always amaze Maxi.

Last night we tuned in to a MUSICAL version of Scrooge. It was pretty awful. We love musicals in general and we love Scrooge in particular, but Maxi fell right to sleep and I couldn't focus on it. I paid attention in time to see a modern Santa dancing in the streets and couldn't put that in context with the story, so I gave up! I usually like Albert Finney, too. Maybe it was just my mood, but I'm not sure I'd try watching it again.

ITs my all time favorite Maxi! HAve every single one in VHS and DVD. I dare not tell you how old I am but this will give it away. I still remember seeing the very first one when it came out. Many MAny Many years ago. IF memory serves me, I was 19. We were hoplessly addicted to it from the start. Went to see in so many times in the theatre when it opened. I still love them.
I love the original trilogy of Starwars (episodes 4-6). I had a harder time getting into the second trilogy (1-3). I liked the original Trek too. And most of the Star Trek movies. Right now I am watching the USC/UCLA game. Nearly a hometown rivalry.

Right now I'm watching Since You Went Away, a movie about a family left behind when the dad went to WWII. It stars Claudette Coubourn and a teenage Shirley Temple.

DH is watching 'Pulp Fiction'. I was listening but when I went in to watch he said---I think there is going to be some killing here in a bit...(He knows me and my dis-likes so well)..so I returned to my computer and you guys---

Carol, Johnny and I walked out on Pulp Fiction when we paid to see it at the movie. Neither of us liked it for some reason. Then it came on TV, we watched it and liked it and can't remember why we didn't in the first place. There is ALOT of violence but John Travolta is great.
yea I was in the kitchen & was listening to a part of it---it did sound interesting but I am not one to watch a violent movies-----but yes John Travolta was good in it--for sure---

I watch John Travolta specifically in the movie Michael just to see him dance to "Chain, Chain, Chain". He is unbelievable with that; particularly in the opening moves.

I love Star Wars, too. I heard that when Mark Hamill went to the awards dinner for Star Wars, he was VERY confused by ALL the fancy silverware at each place-setting. Then, He heard a voice from beyond......"Use the FORK, Luke!"
