Its imprinted into my brain. It sparked a deep fear inside me that will never get out. I was a very anxious child and would have nightmares every night.
But I loved it. It gave excitement to my imagination and as I grew older I became obsessed with horror and the darkness in life. Nothing scares me anymore like the few movies and countless nightmares of my childhood. So I just want to thank the creators of this film for affecting me in such a positive way.
There is no sarcasm here. But it is ironic that the idea of a film that is supposed to be so uplifting to some, can be so grotesque to others. That I think has been what has always frightened me throughout my lifetime more than anything mystical and fantastic.

Photo: Lifetime. Still, if you're snowed in, have high-speed internet, and want to watch A Christmas Carol , and be reminded of Dickens' original characters and message, this is a good way to go.

But Freddie could also be an inspired pantomimer capable of juxtaposing humor and pathos in what, on the surface, seems to be a simple comedy skit. That skill, and many more, made Red Skelton's Christmas shows memorable, and worth watching many years later.
Polar Express Download The book The Polar Express tells a simple story of a boy who boards a magical train that takes him to the North Pole in time to see Santa departing with his sleigh and reindeer on Christmas eve. The movie stays true to the art and spirit of the book. However it introduces many other characters, including other children, and a frenetic conductor voiced and "played" by Tom Hanks.
The CGI animation is clever and often impressive, and the "story line" stays true to the basic themes of the book. Alan Silvestri's sound track has some very memorable tunes, including the grand theme "It's the Spirit of the Season. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Download As may be expected from the title, this movie is neither reverent, nor entirely tasteful, but it is gut-splitting funny.
It also gave a generation of folks who like over-the-top outdoor Christmas decorations a "role model": Clark Griswold. This is one of Chevy Chase's funniest films. A great supporting cast includes Randy Quaid as a clueless relation whose attempts to help solve a Griswold family financial crisis make things infinitely worse. Is there a lot of "true Christmas spirit" or "meaning of Christmas" material in this movie? No - the Griswold family muddles through the holidays, each with their own agenda, and no one getting exactly what they think they should get out of Christmas, just like most families.
But it avoids the bitterness toward the holiday that some "postmodern" "Christmas comedies" make a point of including. And if you want to decorate like Clark, at least now you have low-voltage LED options that he didn't have. Okay, I already gave it away. What movie introduced it? You might be surprised. Holiday Inn was the story of a postwar songe-and-dance team Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire at a resort that is only open during holidays.
The movie closed with a song that started with a verse about a person in a warm climate lamenting that he wouldn't be seeing snow this Christmas. The verse is all but forgotten, but the chorus "struck a chord" in America's imagination so that two generations later, folks are still asking their weathermen if they will have a "white Christmas" this year. The song was such a hit that follow-up movie was made featuring a totally original plot about a song-and-dance team Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye that wind up at a resort that features a special Christmas gathering.
More people have seen White Christmas , but if you're really a "White Christmas" fan, you probably owe it to yourself to see the movie that started it all, Holiday Inn.
