It’s the best Christmas film.

Great, now I have Charles Trenet’s La Mer going through my head….

Currently re-reading the book for the umpteenth time

Do folks favor the 1979 Alec Guinness version or the 2011 Gary Oldman version? Are there others besides the book? BTW, never thought of it as a Christmas movie.

I usually prefer the classics but in this case, I think Gary Oldman version is far superior. It is truly a masterpiece.

As much as I love Alec Guinness, I'm going with Gary Oldman.

Happy Christmas everyone, here’s Julio Iglesias’ La Mer https://youtu.be/zGcp3_OT2-0?si=0rSHGDPl-I19zb0k

That party is so damn depressing. If there was an Oscar for ‘shit works do’ scene it would win hands down.

Yeah for us who are a bit older, it just kills any nostalgia 🤣🤣

I really should watch it again because I feel like I didn't quite catch everything happening in the film first time.

There is A LOT happening in that movie. I'm not even sure 2x would be enough to catch it all.

Nothing is worth the destruction of another human being. Somewhere the path of pain and betrayal must end. Until that happened, there was no future; there was only a continued slide into still more terrifying versions of the present.”
