Re: Favourite christmas movie

Gotta be without doubt A Christmas Carol (Scrooge). I have two faves the 1953 Brit version with Alistair Sim as Scrooge and the 80s American version with George C Scott as the miserly old man. My next Chrissie treat is A Griswald Christmas with the always funny Chevy Chase. Has he finally discovered how to operate all his Chrissie lites.

What do you think of the CGI remake with Jim Carey ?? I love it

I have not seen it. Will take a look. Hope Carey does not overact in this one.

Also The Snowman where choirboy Aled Jones sings the song in the short animated film. If you ask Aled about it now he gets embarrassed lol

Except Aled Jones didn't sing it in the film! It was a boy called Peter Auty. Aled Jones got all the glory when they decided to release it as a single and asked him to sing it.

That's almost right Toys R Us wanted to used Walking In The Air for an advert but couldn't get the rights to Peter Auty's version so Aled Jones was used for the ads & later released as a single.

Another more recent addition to my Christmas favourites that was first shown on tele about 9 years ago on BBC4 (and I liked enough to get on DVD) is 'A Child's Christmases in Wales', a charming little film full of nostalgia, set over a couple of Christmases in South Wales during the 80's, Ruth Jones is Mum...takes you back
