Some of you really like it, so I thought you should know.

Some of you really dont give a crap, which makes sense because when the movie debuted it tanked horribly in theaters and was forgotten for a while. Some fool forgot to renew the copyright one year and it became public domain. Everybody and his brother was re-releasing it to make a quick buck and somehow the film became popular on TV and home video.

Wait...actually pay money to go see a...70 year old movie in a theater? Is you stoopid?

I recorded it a couple of weeks ago on one of the Dish channels...that way, I can pause it if I want to pee...or grab some not grossly overpriced snacks...and I don't have to worry about the "phone police" if I answer a call or text while watching.

It's funny how your perspective on movies & characters change over time. They did a good job of sucking you into the kid's perspective as a kid. As an adult, and a dad, I now relate to the father character a lot more...cursing out the furnace, dumb dogs eating the turkey dinner, stupid flat tire in the car...hahaha.

That has to be one of the worst Christmas movies ever...I thought so 30+ years ago when it first came out...and that hasn't changed over the years.

It's a brilliant little movie. I eventually understood why my parents also loved it.

You're just mad that you didn't get an oscar nomination, Ebenezer.

Have it on DVD but I could actually see hitting the theater for this.

Been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid.
