The scriptwriters had several years worth of Peanuts strips to mine for humorous bits, but the overall story arc was entirely new. Even the "background" music is "bittersweet" - jazz chords, minor keys, and lyrics that should be cheerful set to melodies that verge on melancholy.
Today it's hard to remember that this special "broke all the rules" and set a new standard that still seems fresh almost two generations later. It's also interesting that at the climax of the movie, "a little child leads them," literally, as Linus steps in to remind Charley Brown what the season is all about.
Spoiler alert: it doesn't have anything to do with Santa Claus or any of the other things that "resolve" the question "what is the true meaning of Christmas" in This is a "keeper. This is such a remarkable and influential movie that most folks have trouble remembering that it was made to fill a half-hour television slot and is only 26 minutes long today, with all the added commercials, they could get away with 18 minutes, of course.
To give you your money's worth, this version adds an animated version of Horton Hears a Who and two unnamed "bonus features. Jim Carey in How the Grinch Stole Christmas Download This full-length hollywood movie stars Jim Carey in a role that is actually suited to his over-the-top outrageous antics.
A great supporting cast, witty direction, and inspired sets and costumes bring the Who village, their culture, and their nemesis to life. Some have accused the show of including themes which were never in the book mostly: Christmas is too commercial. But those themes are resolved in a way that keeps with the spirit of the original book and cartoon, so I don't mind so much.
And the show is clever, beginning to end. Every movie that comes out with Christmas in the title or the description is hailed as a classic, but I think this will stand the test of time. Note: If you have time to order and wait for the DVD, click here.
A Christmas Story Download Speaking of childhood, I was a small child in the s, not the s, but many of the adventures, hopes and dreams of Ralphie Peter Billingsly were reminiscent of my own childhood. Gifts you got you didn't want, gifts you wanted you couldn't get, bullies, overcoats you couldn't move in, Christmas plans gone horribly awry, but somehow not ruining the holiday. What really makes this movie work, besides the humor, the great cast, and witty script, is how your own memories "fill in the gaps" as you watch young Ralphie attempt to negotiate the universal hazards of pre-adolescence.
Here's a present-day story from southeast Ohio that relates: an aging grandmother and grandfather I know recently had no one to visit with on Christmas evening, since the children and grandchildren had already visited and gone off to visit the "other sides" of their repective families. So they figured they'd go into town and find a place to eat.
The only restaurant open was a Mexican restaurant run by real Mexicans - the sort of place that couple would ordinarily avoid for gastronomic reasons. The help that night couldn't speak English, and "Ma and Pa" couldn't speak Spanish, so they just pointed at things that they thought looked edible.
Their hosts were so gracious and the food was so good, that the next Christmas they made a point of eating there again, and it looks like a whole new tradition may be established.
If you don't know how this relates to this movie, you NEED to see the movie now. Note: On the other hand, if you have time to order and wait for the DVD, click here. Kelsey Grammer's A Christmas Carol Download Kelsey Grammer, long the grumpy communicator of television show fame, takes on the role of the ultimate grump, in a faithful, if not totally inspired adaptation. Still, if you're snowed in, have high-speed internet, and want to watch A Christmas Carol , and be reminded of Dickens' original characters and message, this is a good way to go.

But Freddie could also be an inspired pantomimer capable of juxtaposing humor and pathos in what, on the surface, seems to be a simple comedy skit. That skill, and many more, made Red Skelton's Christmas shows memorable, and worth watching many years later. Polar Express Download The book The Polar Express tells a simple story of a boy who boards a magical train that takes him to the North Pole in time to see Santa departing with his sleigh and reindeer on Christmas eve.
The movie stays true to the art and spirit of the book. However it introduces many other characters, including other children, and a frenetic conductor voiced and "played" by Tom Hanks. The CGI animation is clever and often impressive, and the "story line" stays true to the basic themes of the book. Alan Silvestri's sound track has some very memorable tunes, including the grand theme "It's the Spirit of the Season. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Download As may be expected from the title, this movie is neither reverent, nor entirely tasteful, but it is gut-splitting funny.
It also gave a generation of folks who like over-the-top outdoor Christmas decorations a "role model": Clark Griswold.
