I’m afraid.
No cause. The world is more than we know.

None, but today I am gonna watch the big sleep from 1978. On my t.v.
I tried to watch the original one, two times. But never made it through cuz it was confusing.
I tried to watch the remake one time. But I never made it through cuz it was confusing. But I think that's my fault for not paying enough attention to it.
But if I try to watch the remake and I do make it all the way through. That means that it's better.

Die Hard (1988) My favorite action film ever. And yes, it is a Christmas movie. I never get tired of it.  The Karate Kid Part III (1989) It is stupid funny. Daniel forgotten what he learned from the previous two movies and went to the dark side. Very cartoonish at time, and played off like a comedy. I enjoyed it though.  Jaws: The Revenge (1987) If you think a Jaws movie can't be worse than Jaws 3-D, this one succeed. What a stupid concept of a shark targeting the Brody family, like a curse. Not only terrible story, atrocious acting, and comical effect.  The Money Pit (1986) A couple (Tom Hanks & Shelly Long) tried to fix up a scammed house they bought. There were some very funny moment that worked like a Rube Goldberg machine. Other time, did not work so well. Tom Hanks was funny, but not Shelly Long. Watchable, but don't expect anything great.  |

CHRISTMAS VIEWINGS
A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1984) As usual (for 24 years) I watch the George C Scott version on its premiere date on December 17. FoxVideo VHS
The OP quote is:
BEN-HUR (1959) Part Two. Warner BluRay
ER (1997) “Do you see what I see?” Amazon Prime
THE BOX OF DELIGHTS (1984) “Beware of Yesterday” Internet Archive
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 (1992) “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians” YouTube presentation of VHS recording of Comedy Central broadcast on November 26 1992 (part of its Thanksgiving Turkey Day marathon).
MEET ME IN ST LOUIS (1944) MGM/UA VHS (1990 Restoration version)
THE CHRISTMAS PARTY (1931) Jackie Cooper hosts a kiddie party at MGM served by Clark Gable, Marion Davies, Lionel Barrymore, Jimmy Durante, Cliff Edwards, Charlotte Greenwood, Janis Page, Ramon Novarro, Wallace Beery, Polly Moran, and Marie Dressler. YouTube
Two VHS Recordings of 1981. HERE ARE THE SMURFS (NBC November 28) and RUDOLPH’S SHINY NEW YEAR (ABC December 10).
KING OF KINGS (1961) MGM/UA VHS Haven’t looked at this old pan-and-scan 2-tape in years. It belonged to my Uncle Ed, and for several Christmas brunches at my grandmother’s I would glimpse its appearance on a table. I finally took the cassette in 1993. Starting in 1994 this would be my main source of viewing the film for Christmas (aside from some exceptions) until I got the BluRay around the early 10s.
25TH ANNIVERSARY
HIS AND HER CIRCUMSTANCES (1998) “The Location of Happiness” English Dubbed. YouTube.
40TH ANNIVERSARY
PARTNERS IN CRIME (1983) “The Unbreakable Alibi” Amazon Prime
JANE EYRE (1983) “Episode Ten” & “Episode Eleven” This ends the Zelah Clarke/Timothy Dalton version. I first saw parts of it (the Jane childhood scenes) on Arts & Entertainment in the late 1980s. I then saw a 4-hour edit on FoxVideo in December 1986. I celebrated its 35th anniversary five years ago. Amazon Prime
HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE (1983) “Evilseed” YouTube
50TH ANNIVERSARY
SLEEPER (1973) Woody Allen comedy set in the future. YouTube
THE WORLD AT WAR (1973) “North Africa” YouTube
THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD (1973) Ray Harryhausen’s second Sinbad film, with John Phillip Law, Caroline Munro , Douglas Wilmer, and Tom Baker (in a performance that got him DOCTOR WHO). Columbia TriStar DVD
THE LORD PETER WIMSEY MYSTERIES (1973) “Murder Must Advertise” Part 4. YouTube
UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS (1973) “Goodwill to All Men” Georgina (Lesley Anne Down) and maid Daisy (Jacqueline Tong) make their debuts in this Yuletide episode set in December 1913, the last peaceful Christmas in Europe for four years…Acorn Media DVD
GOOBER AND THE GHOST CHASERS (1973) “Old MacDonald Had a Farm EI EI YEEOW!” The Finale. Like BUTCH CASSIDY and INCH HIGH, not only was there no further season but none of the core members made further appearances.
SUPER FRIENDS (1973) “The Watermen” The Season Finale. There would not be another SF season until 1977. This also marks the final appearances of Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog (not to mention Ted Knight’s final vocal association with Superhero animation, having played narrator to Filmation’s DC cartoons in 1967). Amazon Prime presentation which includes the intermission bumper and a preview for the first episode!
JEANNIE (1973) “The Wish” The series finale. Mark Hamill and Bob Hastings (Corey and Henry ) would not act with each other again until BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES. Babu would return to LAFF A LYMPICS. YouTube
90TH ANNIVERSARY
ALICE IN WONDERLAND (1933) Paramount’s ill-fated All Star version of the tale with Charlotte Henry, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, W C Fields. This was the longest Holy Grail for me. Since 1990 I wanted to see it, but my only tastes were clips from documentaries or pictures from books. I would say reading the cast was my intro to Edward Everett Horton, May Robson, Charles Ruggles, Alison Skipworth, Jack Oakie, Edna May Oliver, Louise Fazenda, etc. I finally saw the film on DVD in 2010. Universal DVD
Saw Parts of:
A TALE OF TWO CITIES (1935) The added Christmas scene. YouTube
JESUS OF NAZARETH (1977) The first 30 minutes from the Betrothal to the Wedding. Starring Olivia Hussey (as Mary), Yorgo Voyagis (as Joseph), Cyril Cusack (as the Nazareth Rabbi), Regina Biachi (as Anna) Marina Berti (as Elizabeth) and Peter Ustinov (as Herod). YouTube
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE 80 (1980) “David Carradine/ Linda Ronstadt, Rex Smith, George Cole and ensemble” I watched the “Rocket Report” and the finale where Linda & company sing Christmas carols.
Merry Christmas!
