    They did last year... I'll bet they do it again and again and again. It's funny, every year when channel surfing I always stop for at least a few minutes. Love that movie!

        I was snagging some leftover Chinese food at work yesterday, when a coworker came over and sang, "Fa ra ra, ra ra...". Cracked me up.

          I just finished Ted Turners book....Sounds like he lost most of what he owned to the AOL merger. What does he still own?

                      I can't watch it

                      The TV channels ruined it by playing it too much

                      They did the same with Willie Wonka

                        Turner should have never merged with Warner. Not only did he lose his stations but he lost the Atlanta Braves and WCW along with it...

                          Also have it on Blu-Ray and it is classic. One of those rare movies where every scene is enjoyable. Just when you are about ready to turn the channel; you watch the classic scene followed by the next until you realize you just watched the entire movie.

                          Blu-Ray has a great documentary on it with the actors.

                            I have it on DVD. Need to upgrade to Blu-Ray. It's a tradition to watch this as we put up our Christmas Tree. I then catch it off and on over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

                            And to think, this movie bombed when released in theaters!!! And it's directed by the guy that brought you Porky's!!!

                              "The Wizard of Oz" also bombed at the box office and don't know where it ranks on the list of best movies ever made but am sure it is in the top 10.
