Emmett Otter was a yearly tradition in my house, love that. My suggestion is if you like those “Large extended family comes home for the holidays” comedy dramas The Family Stone is surprisingly entertaining.
I gave up half-way through. There would have to be one hell of a punchline at the end to make it worth while.
My sister recommends Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.
Oh, the woman and the man go upstairs to, smirkily, have sex (implied).
Just watched The Man Who Invented Christmas last night. Thanks for the recommendations!
While I enjoyed it, there was an egregious error right during the opening section. The song being played at the thee-AY-ter where Dickens was appearing in America was I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy. While I’m not the world’s biggest expert on Dickens, I do know my Jimmy Cagney, and that song was not written until at least 60 years later.
Was it Yankee Doodle or Yankee Doodle Boy? The latter is the song from the movie, the former is based on a very old tune.
Seconded!
I just want to wish you all a happy New Year! And a merry, albeit belated, Christmas. I wish you the best, and I hope you appreciated the suggestions posted on here.
I see allay’alls are dreaming of a white Christmas. Try This Christmas “based” on Donny Hathaway’s 1970’s classic song. Well, classic in my circle of friends and family. It does feature Chris Brown before we found out what a little shit he was in real life. It also features Loretta Devine, Regina King, Delroy Lindo and Iris Elba to name a few.
OK, the plot centers around Me’Dear not liking music or singing-- which I concede is pretty contrived-- it is a very classic standard Christmas story but with black people.
