Friday Five
The lovely Songbird posts:
For this mid-December Friday Five, let's explore some Yuletide favorites.
1) It's a Wonderful Life--Is it? Do you remember seeing it for the first time?
Yes, life is wonderful ... as for the movie, the first version I ever saw was a made for TV remake where Marlo Thomas played the Jimmy Stewart role and Wayne Rogers the Donna Reed role --well, sort of. Cloris Leachman played the angel. I have never seen this version before or since. Yes, I watch the classic IAWL, but I don't enjoy it nearly as much as The Christmas Story or almost any version of A Christmas Carol.
2) Miracle on 34th Street--old version or new?
Old. And I like it colorized, I decided just the other night.
3) Do you have a favorite incarnation of Mr. Scrooge?
With my personal love-hate relationship with the Christmas season, I think I am my own favorite incarnation of Scrooge --Bah Humbug!!!!
4) Why should it be a problem for an elf to be a dentist? I've been watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for years now, and I still don't get it.
Maybe it's because an elf isn't supposed to be down-in-the-mouth?
5) Who's the scariest character in Christmas specials/movies? The Bumble, The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, Muppet Version, That Mean Magician Who Tries to Melt Frosty or Your Nomination
How about the faux psychologist in A Miracle on 34th Street?

I didn't know they did a remake of It's a Wonderful Life. And the psychatrist is a scary guy.

Heh. I like the dentist response....
I haven't seen the colourized version of Miracale on 34th Street. I'll have to look for it.

I remember seeing the Marlo Thomas version as a kid (I think I was still a kid). I saw it again a year or two ago and we taped it but I don't know if we still have the tape.
