He played a great scrooge. My favorite was Reginald Owen. My favorite interpretation was Scrooged with Bill Murray
Your favorite romantic Christmas movie? (e.g., Hallmark Channel)

Yep...I think that may fall under my category named "Xmas related business". Chocolates, Cookies and other baked goods, Xmas Trees, Xmas related B&B, etc
she's got a new series out named "The Curse". I like redheads but in my dating years, came to hate their translucent skin. They were very limited in outdoor events due to sunburn (forget beaching, fishing, bike riding, boating, etc.). In addition, when you got them out of their long sleeve pantsuits, in real life, you can see so much of their veins they look like a map of the interstate highway network in the USA. (for you, rail systems in Central France)
The plots are light because they are all the same…with the actresses and actors…my wife loves them…
For any home alone fans (just for fun):
Home Alone is a Christian movie about Kevin finding faith.
He starts the movie in a non-praying house, making an evil wish to Santa (an idol) for his family to disappear. While at first he enjoys his time without his family, he has a yearning in his heart to be reunited with their love. He consults a Santa impersonator asking for help, but comes to realize that this is a false god who can’t help him.
Disheartened he enters a peaceful and beautiful church where he encounters old man Marley, a patriarch who has inspired fear in him in the past. Marley approaches Kevin w/pierced hands, asks Kevin if he has been good, and tells him a version of the prodigal son story.
Kevin returns from the church, changed. He makes dinner and prays to God at home before his final confrontation between good and evil. The home is defending us now a Christian household. Kevin’s victory is not just over the robbers but his sinful nature, and by conquering that he is reunited with his family and gets to experience the true meaning of Christmas.

Did you know Top Gun is actually about Maverick’s struggle with his sexuality?
Two great non-Christmas movies that take place during Christmas - Batman Returns and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
Well, if you've seen Kelly McGillis lately, it's understandable.
Hey Obli, I didn't know you'd made your way over here. Welcome, good to see you.
You can't tell from this preview but this has been one of Hallmark's better movies
That is great. The only issue is that the "one black person" in these movies would NEVER talk like that. They are completely homogenized. The more recent productions have introduced the mixed-race and gay couples. (sometimes, just extras snuggling in the back)
I did enjoy that one. A clever spin on Dickens’s Christmas Carol, told from the point of view of one of the ghosts.
To each his own. I also think George C. Scott was, like Smittywerbenjagermanjensen, No. 1
