I couldn't agree more with you about George C. Scott's version of A Christmas Carol! It is my hands down favorite version. I don't remember for sure if I ever saw Patrick Stewart's version, but I'm sure it must be excellent. I'll have to look for it. It's a Wonderful Life is one of my favorites too.

No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Re: Christmas Movies
The Patrick Stewart version is a bit better of the two, so it is definitely worth watching.

Re: Christmas Movies
I found and watched Patrick Stewart's version on the TNT channel today. I remember having seen it before a few years ago, and it is definitely well worth watching. However, the George C. Scott version is still my favorite.

I really enjoyed the GoG Holiday Special. Great stuff!Some Schmo wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 3:16 pmThe new Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special was kind of fun. It made me laugh a few times.
It occurred to me this year that my Christmas spirit comes from holiday specials, Christmas commercials and decorations. I suppose the Christmas themed graphics in football games also helps.

Re: Christmas Movies
I missed seeing that one. Based on your and Schmo's praise of it, I'm sorry I did. I probably would have enjoyed it as well.Kishkumen wrote: ↑Mon Dec 26, 2022 1:45 pmI really enjoyed the GoG Holiday Special.

Re: Christmas Movies
It is a little cheesy, but then Christmas Specials kinda are. I remember the original Star Wars Christmas Special. Yikes.

Re: Christmas Movies
Based on these recommendations, I watched the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special last night.
Idea for a Republican Christmas movie: Have Texas Governor Greg Abbott dump a spaceship load of immigrants off on a frozen prison planet, clad only in flimsy T-shirts, shorts, and sandals.
