I never knew her but I did. I never met her but I invited her into my house every week. I knew her all my life but she never knew me. But I will miss her for a very long time. Bye, Betty. GOD bless you.
I don't think I ever watched this movie in its entirety. Sounds like I should. For us growing up it was Christmas Story and National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. Oh and Home Alone of course. The Home Alone craze was really something - I remember that movie staying in the theaters for a very long time. 2. It also dominated at theaters for longer than most blockbusters do
It opened at No. 1 and then stayed there for 12 weeks – until Feb. 10, 1991, long after most people had taken down their Christmas decorations. The Julia Roberts star vehicle Sleeping with the Enemy finally knocked it out.
George making "violent love" to Mary in their parlor is one of my favorite -chuckle- scenes. And then there's Uncle Billy's squirrel - I always thought that was odd until I learned that squirrels were once a common household pet. #1 Christmas movie.
I love this movie. I have a small list of must see Xmas movies that I watch every year. Each one evokes certain emotions or memories or happenings that I can relate to and find value in. The importance of this movie cannot be overstated in the political sense of greed trying and quite often winning by creeping through one's daily life, making the corruption almost invisible and unnoticed but always present. The kindness of the people in the town makes me long for my younger days when I grew up in a town similar to Bedford Falls, primarily with the friendliness of neighbors and strangers. Kids called adults by their first names and the village did indeed take part in raising all of us kids. I believe that this movie is a gentle reminder for us all to try to be kind and take time to look outside and beyond our own personal bubbles. It can be a wonderful life and if one makes the effort it will be.
Henry & the pope had a problem about the church of england. The pope was undoubtedly mocking him as a stubborn fool. Maybe Henry was also a member of the oculist society, at least the pope thought he was.
