Where are all the crummy Christmas movies?? and I don't mean Titanic..

[Gloria]

You know, the tractor movie with Melissa Gilbert; the LA psychologist gone home with Connie Selleca and Randy Travis, etc etc.

I mean, they've only shown "Broken Hearts" or whatever with Roma Downey once so far; and that thing with Kristin Davis dead in 3 days was on two weeks ago, and the one with the pigs and the vet and the Dr. and Jack Palance was on a week or so ago...

But where are they? I mean, The Christmas Shoes with Rob Lowe is so bad even I won't watch it...

1. I want to see:

Meet John Doe
White Christmas AND Holiday Inn
Mircle on 34th Street (with Maureen O'Hara and Natalie)
Any "A Christmas Carol" movie
the Bishop's Wife (with Cary)
and
Christmas in Connecticut (Barbara Stanwyck, not Diane Canon)

but alas, they don't show them. Isn't Titantic more of an Easter movie?

2. Yes, the oldies but goodies!!

I caught the end of the Sims' Christmas Carol from WGN today..

and a few days ago, the Patrick Stewart version, which I love.

BUT...all you mentioned and the Christmas Carols are GOOD movies...

I'm talking the maudlin, drippy lousy ones circa the 80's until now....

4. A non-drippy political Christmas Carol

You never see it but the 1979 "An American Christmas Carol" is actually very good and interesting version that moves the story out of the misty, idealized Victorian England into Great Depression New England. Doing that refreshes the political themes of the Dickens story.

3. I think most of these were aired on free-tv in Milwaukee.
