Dec. 1st, 2013 09:38 pm I'm going to see how many Christmas movies we can get to this month. Because I watch a lot of movies with my son it makes more sense for me to do Christmas movies rather than the Halloween movies all October like some people can do. So, so far:
1. Miracle on 34th Street (newer version with Mara Wilson)
This was quite good, and I didn't really look into the plot, so being more spiritual than religious I was a bit turned off by the "In God We Trust" bit at the end, but it was a good, sentimental movie and my son enjoyed it too (he believes in Santa, so it was really nice for him to have that sort of validated). I would have watched the original but my son wanted to see one in color. LOL
2. A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott
This is not my favorite Christmas Carol version. I like the one with Alastair Sim, and the more recent animated one with Jim Carrey. This one was good but was missing a couple details I like in the other versions and of course it is less "fun" than the Jim Carrey version. However my son enjoyed this one too. We have seen the animated one at least 3 times, but he wanted to see a different one this time.
