It’s A Wonderful Life

[naomi24]

On this afternoon.  I've seen it umpteen times but I'm recording  it because I can't resist.  Magical!  Does anyone else still watch it?

[Canary42]

Not me, too schmalzy 😊

[naomi24]

Amazing that it's just short of 80 years old and it's still being shown - and people are still watching it.  That's some achievement.

[elliemay1]

No, I watched it once to see what all the fuss was about, I must be one of the only viewers who didn't like it

[Arksided]

I prefer Die Hard 😉 But I still like it haven't watched it for a few years though.
I'm sure over the past couple of days I've spotted it on at least three different channels.

[naomi24]

I've never forgotten the broken glass in that film, arksided.  Ouuuch!  Great film.

Every Christmas eve

One of my favourite films...just brilliant IMHO!!

Apparently it was a bit of a flop originally, but 'took off' when US TV stations started showing it at Christmas in the 70's after its copyright had run out.

I get the tissue box out every time I watch this film.

[Canary42]

80 years is nothing. The Changing of the Guard ceremony in London is over 500 years old, it's still being shown and people flock to watch it 😊

Now that's some achievement !

[naomi24]

Hardly a Hollywood movie, canary.  

[Canary42]

No, it's live theatre, much more challenging.

[naomi24]

Give me a minute, canary.  I'll try to think of something miserable to post - just to cheer you up.  😂

I love it,  my favourite Christmas films that I watch every year:-

It's a wonderful life

Miracle on 34th St

A Christmas Carol

Jack Frost

Every year  never get tired if them

Once is enough - it's pretty mawkish.

[davebro3]

A Christmas Carol - no one has bettered the Alastair Simm version IMV.

I hadn't seen It's a Wonderful Life until a couple of years ago. Not sure why, it was on often enough when I was a kid.

 

[piggynose]

Too corny!

Give me Bad Santa any day !

[ynnafymmi]

Never watched it,never will,Naomi.Vastly over-rated.

You can't judge a film you've never watched.  

[naomi24]

Too busy moaning, ynnafymmi?  You don't know what you're missing.

 

This afternoon's entertainment has been Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore - a multiple tissue job - and that's just the music  - and now it's Love Actually - which is actually my favourite Christmas movie.  More tissues.  Christmas is usually such a busy time for us - visitors and house guests galore - but this year the quiet time has been lovely.  I must remind myself to stop doing it for the multitudes in future!  😂
