Richard Attenborough plays Santa and a little girl called Mara Wilson plays Susan. She's the cutest little girl. The rest of the cast is unremarkable except for some Dylan McDermott hottie goodness.Teacakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908609825514112462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732936190877043335.post-16541277998002203572007-12-19T10:46:00.000-05:002007-12-19T10:46:00.000-05:00Teacake..the one with Sebastian Cabot?

I admit, though, that I'm a sappy sucker for all kinds of holiday movies. We make it a tradition to watch many every year: Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Carol, Christmas Vacation, It's a Wonderful Life, Home Alone, Scrooged, Edward Scissorhands, and Nightmare Before Christmas to name a few, not to mention all the animated children's classics.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and SG, you've made me want to watch The Great Escape once again.

It's a hardy perennial of British TV at Christmas, and an old-fashioned adventure film you never tire of watching no matter how many times it's been on. There's the tragedy of Dickie Attenborough and Gordon Jackson getting it not quite just right, and the thwarted heroism of Donald Pleasance going blind, and James Garner sticking with him. Then there's the indomitable spirit of Steve McQueen, one more time failing to get his motorcycle over that fence, and finding his way back into the cooler, unbowed and ever-defiant. That film had all the role-models a boy could need.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16952656340810478793noreply@blogger.com
