A Christmas Memory (1997)
I could identify with Buddy
A "Christmas Memory" is a film that you may have never herd of but please don't stop you from viewing it.
This is the early life of Truman Capote. In this film he is a young boy who is helping his Aunt with her annual Christmas Fruitcake baking, His aunt is not the world's smartest person but she is full of what this world needs and that is giving "Unconditional Love". Buddy her also "Best Friends" who really do need each other. He loves her as much as she loves him.
Buddy & Sook live in a house with Sook's older siblings. The family patriarch however runs the house with an iron fist. She also doesn't seem to love having Buddy around. Buddy's has been living with them for over a year. His parents divorced & his dad lives in New Orleans. His mother is in "New YorK" trying to be an actress.
To tel you more would be a crime but this was a movie I could relate too.
Don't miss this! It is a great & emotional experience!
A Christmas Carol (1938)
The Best Version
I love this version. I have seen almost every variation of Charles Dickens Classic Tale. Some of course are great but many of the Television movies that do a twist on this story never really capture what this films has and that is "PLENTY OF Christmas SPIRIT" and is cast with good actors. Nobody here is CW material.
We all know the story but this version did help set the standard and many films since this have used it as a template. The changes from the book that this film did was smart WHICH IS WHY the films that followed made the same change.
This film should be seen on a very cold December Night with a nice hot cup of Hot Chocolate. It runs 69 Minutes and trust me it is the best version out there.
