[goddess40]

1. Bumbles bounce

I love the bumble

[Saffy]

2. Mister South....

remember him? Mr. North's brother? Apparently Mother Nature always liked North better....ah, well.

[kslib]

3. Damn You!

That was mine *sniff* :cry:

[dr.strangelove]

11. What was that in

I remember it . . . somewhere in the mind . . . can't locate it . . . need more RAM

[Left Is Write]

31. The Year Without A Santa Claus.

Which is on the ABC Family Channel tonight!

The brothers are Heat Miser and Snow Miser.

"I'm Mr. Green Christmas, I'm Mr. Sun! I'm Mr. Heat Blister, I'm Mr. Hundred-and-one! They call me Heat Miser, whatever I touch, starts to melt in my clutch...I'm too much!"

[dr.strangelove]

40. I remember the song now. Thanks a lot

that'll be in the head for the whole train ride home.

[Left Is Write]

47. Sorry!

I rather like it, but as an earworm I guess it could be irritating.

[goddess40]

18. I love it when he sings

Edit: Is that where Everyone Loves Raymond comes from?

[borlis]

4. Chevy Chase as good old Clark W, Griswold

I just love Christmas Vacation. Especially when Clark is locked in the attic watching old movies and crying.

[dr.strangelove]

14. Classic

Ellen- What are you looking at?
Clark- Oh, the silent majesty of a winter's morning, the clean, cool chill of the holiday air. Eddie in his bathrobe emptying a chemical toilet into my sewer.

[RubyDuby in GA]

27. Shitters full!

Can you imagine the field day I had when my parents needed their septic tank pumped out???? :evilgrin: Oh god......things like that only come along on such rare occasions.

[dr.strangelove]

29. That is just to funny, and too gross.

[smbolisnch]

24. Absolutely. Aunt Bethany is up there too.....

"Don't throw me down Clark!" "Is Rusty still in the navy??"
LOVE that movie!
Welcome to DU!!! :hi:

[Catchawave]

43. Me too. I love the Griswolds....

...just too normal, dysfunctional family and all.

[ohiosmith]

5. Ralphie.

[Menshevik]

16. agreed!

[u4ic]

53. I love the dad

played by Darren McGavin. Reminds me of my own when I was little. lol

Alistair Sim did a brilliant Scrooge. A wonderful comic actor, it was ever so subtle, and he gave the character a very full range. And Fezziwig, because I like the name.

[tk2kewl]

6. Heat mizer

[Forkboy]

19. Definatly the Heat Miser

I'm Mister Green Christmas
I'm Mister Sun
I'm Mister Heat Blister
I'm Mister Hundred and One
They call me Heat Miser,
What ever I touch
Starts to melt in my clutch
I'm too much!
He's Mister Green Christmas
He's Mister Sun
He's Mister Heat Blister
He's Mister Hundred and One
They call me Heat Miser,
What ever I touch
Starts to melt in my clutch
He's too much!
Thank you!
I never want to see a day
That's under sixty degrees
I'd rather have it eighty,
Ninety, one hundred degrees!

Oh, some like it hot, but I like it
REALLY hot! Hee hee!
He's Mister Green Christmas
He's Mister Sun

Heat Miser Hairdo
Sing it!
He's Mister Heat Blister
He's Mister Hundred and One
They call me Heat Miser,
What ever I touch
Starts to melt in my clutch
I'm too much!
Too Much!

7. It's a toss-up:

Carol Kane as The Ghost of Christmas Present in "Scrooged"

or

Will Ferrell as Buddy in "Elf"

[dr.strangelove]

25. I forgot how good Carol Kane was

in that role. She always killed me in Taxi.

[Lavender Brown]

8. I'm going to be unoriginal and go with George Bailey.

[dr.strangelove]

9. George is high on my list too

I love his brutal honesty. Makes me feel that there is something to this secular holiday.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. Cary Grant as Dudley...an angel

Loretta Young and David Niven are wonderful in "The Bishop's Wife", too!

[Lavender Brown]

12. I love that movie

I love the scene where Cary Grant plays the song that the old lady's husband wrote for her... :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. I've often wondered who played the harp in that scene...

I'm sure it wasn't Archie, but it sure looks like it is!

[winston61]

21. My wife just melts as the sight of Dudley

For myself it has to to be the Ghost of Christmas Present from 'A Christmas Carol'. I liked way Edward Woodard played the role.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

23. Which version was Woodard in?

I can only remember the names of the Scrooges!

[winston61]

26. The version with George Scott as Scrooge

I just love those larger than life Brit actors who really chew the scenery and let it all go.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

33. That's a great version of it...

I like the Patrick Stewart one, too.

[Seabiscuit]

55. Alistair Sim as Scrooge in the b&w 1935 classic, "A Christmas Carol".

Hands down.

[MidwestMomma]

56. "I feel as giddy as a school girl"

as he scampers about his room.

One of my all time favorite movie scenes.

[Seabiscuit]

57. And right after that he fluffs his hair at his maid and she runs screaming

from the room with him hot on her heels.

[sportndandy]

13. Heat Miser and Cold Miser

[Left Is Write]

32. Not to be nitpicky, but...

...it's Snow Miser. :)

[Bok_Tukalo]

15. Jack Skellington

<eom>

[Chovexani]

52. Me too!

I love that movie.

[Anakin Skywalker]

17. Jason Voorhee and Michael Myers.

Oh wait. You are talking THIS upcoming holiday?

[dr.strangelove]

20. No, any holiday will do.

I never thought of Friday the 13ths as Halloween movies. Just horror though. I'll give you Michael though, that dude was all kinds of fucked up. He scared my for years.

[RubyDuby in GA]

28. Ok, it's not my favorite, but I have a question

Am I the only person on earth, besides my family, to have ever seen a show called Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas? It definitely had to be the 80s when this came out.

Bizarre the things that stick in a kid's head...

[dr.strangelove]

30. OH MY GOD!!

I love the Jug Band Christmas.
Ain't no hole in the washtub.

I always loved that movie. I bought it for Mrs. Strangelove on VHS last year b/c I could not find it on dvd.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

34. That's one of my son's favorites...

You can get it on DVD.

[RubyDuby in GA]

35. Whoooohooooo!!

Thanks for the info.
The search is on!

[dr.strangelove]

39. I found it on Ebay.

[RubyDuby in GA]

41. I will form a cult in your name

and worship you for the god you most surely are.

My mom has been wanting this for a long long time.

[dr.strangelove]

45. That brought a smile to my face at the end of a long hard day.

I prefer to be worshipped on Tuesdays after 3:00.
I hope your mom gets a kick out of it. I love that film.
The Jug Band was robbed though. They should have won easily.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

48. They should have, but

they did end up getting a regular gig out of it!

[dr.strangelove]

38. WHERE? I tried Amazon last year

I will try now.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

42. Do try...

I'm sure I got it from Amazon last year. It might have been sold out when you tried to get it.

[dr.strangelove]

44. see below - found it on ebay in one search

[GoddessOfGuinness]

46. Great!

Glad you located it!

[Hans Delbrook]

54. Kermit

..from A Muppet Family Christmas. (I love how calm he is among the chaos.)

[VTdem]

36. Ebenezer Scrooge from the Disney cartoon

version. Donald Duck plays him i think.

[dr.strangelove]

37. Its Uncle Scrooge McDuck who plays him

He later was in the Duck Tales series and kept the name Scrooge McDuck.

[VTdem]

49. Your right

He was a funny character

[Zomby Woof]

50. The Old Man!

I like him so much, I am playing him on stage!

[UberSG-1Fan]

51. Gotta Go with George Bailey and of course ...

Ebeneezer Scrooge...
