    Another new version of a Christmas Carol. Wasn't aware of this one at all.

    I only read about it today too. I think that’s because it was thrown together quite quickly to help raise funds for closed theatres.

    That book must surely have the record for most film and TV adaptations!

    Remember going to see this in the cinema. My dad brought me and my brother and sister and we bumped into my aunt and uncle and 4 cousins in the queue. The cousins had a huge box of lemons seasons greetings with them and I remember the excitement when the box came down our end of the row.

    I assume they weren't even hiding that they were bringing in their own food? :D

    In 1985 only the super rich would be buying cinema popcorn - don't know if they even had fancy stuff like bags of maltesers back then

    Not movie related per se, however Radio Times always reminds me of Christmas. My Granddad always had the Christmas edition in his house.

    Watched the 2018 version of The Grinch at the weekend and it was so cute. Really enjoyed it.

    My parents were such pros in the 80s for sneaking food into the cinema that when I came along they would regularly sneak me in by hiding me in a jacket draped over their arm. My earliest memory of the cinema is Jurrasic Park :)

    Got the link to the trailer for the new Christmas Chronicles in the Netflix Recommendations thread, I didn't watch it as I avoid any and all trailers, but in case anyone else wants to see it...

    Oh I haven't seen the 2018 Grinch movie yet, I'll have to put it on the list! :)

    Looks like it might only be on Virgin in the UK, however I could be wrong.

    Some of them are watchable, I don't look at many Hallmark type films, but they usually have gorgeous Christmas scenes, lovely decorations, beautiful snowy landscapes, magical small towns and so on. It makes up for the lack of plot, coherent dialogue, character development etc...

    I think the idea of them is usually alot better than the reality. Even this month I thought id try a few Autumn\October films on Netflix while no one was looking and a few minutes in they where all pretty bad.

    I don't watch any of those films expecting an edge of my seat emotional roller coaster with oscar winning performances. I just take them for what they are. :)
