Today my sister turned me on to another fun one, a BBC show called The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff. It's a sort of send-up off all those Dickensian pieces. And I has a Christmas Special (which one should really watch first) with Stephen Fry.

Our family started watching a Christmas story the year our first daughter was born in 94. And started watching its a wonderful life in 96 when our second daughter arrived. It is not Christmas season without seeing these classic movies.

Lately, we have watched
  • It's a Wonderful Life
  • Moana
  • Ratatouille
I'm not sure how the second 2 fit in as Christmas movies but they were fun. DD wanted us to see Moana. Cold and snowing, that might have been a good enough reason why.

I'm all about those quirky BBC series, especially when they put a modern twist on classic themes like Dickensian tales.
And with Stephen Fry involved, you know it's gonna be quality entertainment. His wit and charm always add an extra layer of enjoyment to any production.
I'll definitely have to check out the Christmas Special first, though. I mean, who doesn't love a good holiday-themed episode, right?
But hey, when I'm not diving into TV shows, I'm always down for a movie night. If you are looking for more recommendations, check out movies currently out.

Fitzcarraldo movie review & film summary (1982) | Roger Ebert

Werner Herzog's "Fitzcarraldo" is one of the great visions of the cinema, and one of the great follies. One would not have been possible without the other. This is a movie about an opera-loving madman who is determined to drag a boat overland from one river system to another. In making the film...

Fitzcarraldo by quite a bit over anything produced today.

Which reminds me. If you have streaming (Amazon Prime I think, though it could be Acorn TV) there's another fun one out there. Someone did a TV movie of Tom Holt's The Portable Door, the first in the J. W. Wells and co. stories (think of Tom Holt as Terry Pratchett lite, not quite as good, but decent.)
