Home for the Holidays and football. This year I'll probably be catching up on stuff on the DVR while drinking a single malt on the couch in my stretchy pants.
I love to watch the original Miracle on 34th street on Thanksgiving night after everyone has gone home. It's the perfect start to the Christmas season.
Home for the Holidays hands down for me! I have actually said to my brother that if it weren't for being related I wouldn't even say hi on the street. I barely say hi to him now.
I didn't even know there was such a thing as a Thanksgiving movie. *L* I remember seeing PT&A a long time ago and thinking it should have been funnier. That's all I've got.
I do not celebrate "holidays". I believe they are a cruel invention of humanity, because they exclude so many souls. Those who are alone, elderly, in poverty, grieving, experiencing homeless, hospitalized. Anyone who is suffering, tends to suffer more at 'the Holidays'. When a holiday is positive for every single man, woman and child, then it will be 'a Holiday'. As Phil Collins said.... Think twice...It's another day for you, in paradise.
Retreat Hell! My neighbor was a member of the 7th ID east of Chosin , one Thanksgiving season in 1950 For three days they fought to keep the Chinese from taking Hagaru and preventing the Marines from being surrounded and destroyed. Not everybody gets to spend Thanksgiving with their families.
I loved Home for the Holidays. Every bit of it. Such amazing writing.
Wasn't it a Jodie Foster directed flick?
A year or two ago Holly Hunter stayed in a hotel where I was working - very small place with just 14 rooms - I was so happy to find out she was a genuinely nice person - southern nice even. What a relief! I had met other celebrities and most of them were real demanding assholes. I also loved RDJr. who also, according to people who have known him forever, is a hilarious and nice person. Durning broke my heart with the slideshow in the basement sequence. I start crying just thinking about it. SUCH a good movie.
Planes and Trains here too .
