Did you think "A Christmas Story?" Puh leeze, let the kid stay stuck to the pole with his stupid tongue. How many morons were inspired to try that at home? And, throw that leg out with the trash - or try re-gifting it. "It's a Wonderful Life?" It's torture every time that movie comes around and every time a bell rings. (We know - an angle gets its wings - yaddah yaddah.) "Miracle on 34th Street?" Nope, although Natalie Woods was cute and the real miracle is that people on the boat got away with murder. "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?" Getting warmer - I'm always a sucker for the Island of Misfit Toys which is no longer politically correct which makes it all the more endearing. Give up? What else you got? My yearly holiday treat is "Camelot" with Richard Harris & Vanessa Redgrave. Wait, that's not a holiday movie you say? It's my holiday pick nonetheless and with good reason. It's a wonderful, magical musical. It's a love story on & off the screen. Guinevere (Vanessa Redgrave) had an affair with Lancelot (Franco Nero) while making the film. (They have a son together.) Why Guinevere fell for Lancelot when married to King Arthur (Richard Harris) beats me; so what if he's a knight in shining armor that performs miracles.
It's true. It's true.
In short, there's simple not -
A more congenial plot
For happily-ever-aftering
than my pick, Camelot.
When dealing with family during the holidays try watching the film. There's a lesson here on how to handle family - it's to love them… simply love them…merely love them.
Bah humbug! My favorite holiday character still remains Ebenezer Scrooge
