That is a horrible suggestion. You could have endless discussion on the variations of a Christmas Carol from the Muppet version to Scrooged to An American Christmas Carol with Henry Winkler.

odessasteps Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 That might be better as its own project and not as part of a All encompassing Xmas event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Execproducer Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 My main concern about the three I listed was the idea of telling 10 people that someone else beat them to it and people reading these reviews not giving them the attention they deserve because they know those films by heart. I don’t think any version of the Dickens story necessarily falls into that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I did a search with this topic in mind, and there are quite a few Christmas-adjacent films out there. I have a surprising amount of them that I wasn't even aware they were "Christmas" movies. So there's some neat stuff out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you right now, whoever gets my pick is reading subtitles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 May I suggest all films related to a holiday? Not that Xmas doesn't have enough to go around of course. And I'm down to watch. If we ever do the purely underrated films one I've already got my pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Give me non-Hallmark Thanksgiving movies, nerds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Not until Roth craps out this turkey (NSFW dummies) Speaking of which, him not even MENTIONING the Alien films in last night's "Killer Creatures" episode of History of Horror really pissed me off. It's nice that he gave It a more than generous nod, as well as the works of Del Toro, but seriously dude... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but an MST3K 'Havoc' is the logical idea for Thanksgiving. Not that there is much time to get that going this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that Xmas doesn't have enough to go around of course. But the thing is, Christmas does have enough to go around. And when Brian threw it out as an idea, I think his emphasis was more on honoring Justin Newbould, rather than Christmas being his ideal genre as the first extension of the Havoc franchise, if you will.
