Two movies I want to watch over Christmas

Politics
1

Haaretz strongly recommended this one.

And I read this book. A good story, especially for anyone familiar with Southern Africa.

Whats Netanyahu’s criminal investigation for financial corruption or growing up in Zimbabwe got to do with politics :joy: This was thread about movies.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York for me. Of course there is that Trump scene.

And we all know where it’s likely to end! :rofl:

But if you plan to keep it strictly about Christmas films then please reclassify it :slightly_smiling_face:.

Frankly I’m a bit pissed off. If I wanted to start a political thread I would have.

The reason I have started threads with political content in the general category in the past is because I mostly use my iPad and scrolling down to “P” was a pain. In fact I’ve found this platform has a few formatting issues on iPads. However, as you know, there has been a consensus that political content should reside in the politics category. So why would I not adhere to that?

I’m going to sulk now (and the new washing machine is arriving).

I’d argue that The Muppet Christmas Carol should be added to that short list :frog:

YES to Die Hard. I bought a “Nakatomi Tower 1988 Christmas Party” t-shirt last year, and (so far) there is not one person who does not love it.

A surprisingly entertaining, if bloody romp through a Christmassy London is on Netflix now. ‘Black Doves’.

As the Company slides into oblivion I was reading about the resignation of Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger. For some reason the phrase “Goodbye Mr. Chips” came to mind :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

That made me research that great film. It’s got to be on my Christmas list :slightly_smiling_face:

A Christmas Carol 1999, staring Patrick Stewart.
