KING OF KINGS (1961) Like BEN-HUR, even though the majority of this film is non-Christmas, my experiences with it have usually been around the holiday. I first saw parts of it on Christmas on Cinemax (in 1989), saw more on Cinemax near Christmas 1990, and although I saw the majority on Cinemax on Easter 1991, I’ve been more comfortable watching it on Christmas since 1994 (preferably on December 23). Warner BluRay
TOMBSTONE (1993) 25TH ANNIVERSARY Probably my favorite of the OK Corral films, first viewed on PayPerView back in the Summer of 1994. This is the extended version from Buena Vista DVD.
7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD (1958) 60TH ANNIVERSARY this month. Ray Harryhausen’s first foray in the Arabian Nights. Remember reading pictures of the Skeleton duel in my monster movie books, then saw bits and pieces of the film in the early 1990s on Cinemax and TNT. With my Lego Pirate ship, I would mimic the film’s ending of the sailing ship humming Bernard Herrmann’s opening music. Columbia Tri-Star DVD.
I think it's the best of the Christ story pictures > www.imdb.com/review/rw2231855/?ref_=tt_urv

It was the Western film that I got my non Western film fans to love! Not that it converted any of them to my way of the Oater mind you, but it is very much adored in my circle of friends and much of the dialogue is from time to time quoted on nights out. > www.imdb.com/review/rw2296496/?ref_=tt_urv

God bless those monster movies books! As it happens, the Sinbad's, Argonauts, Mysterious Island etc are never far away from my holiday seasons viewings. Got the Blu-ray of 7th Voyage earlier in the year and watched it just a couple of days ago. Will post the review on next weeks thread
