The creepiest thing about that, is how M3gan looks like the 4th Olsen sister.
I like both actors though this looks over produced, I will opt for rewatching Scrooged with Bill Murray.
For all of these Christmas Carol knockoffs we go straight to the source; Alistair Sim in 1951.
Alister Sim was brilliant in A Christmas Carol, one of my early viewing's of the film was the colourised version which they did with some of the Sherlock Holmes films also, I prefer the B/W version.
Scrooge with Albert Finney and Alec Guinness was good, it had an excellent cast and Finney did miserly extremely well.
Maybe controversially, but it's one of my favourite movies of all time, Christmas or not (though I only watch it at Christmas). I think about it all the time.
Charles Dickens adaptions of that era in cinema were superb, notably David Leans Great Expectations and Oliver Twist.
I studied English Literature at A Level and Degree we covered a lot of Charles Dickens work, I was introduced to a lot of the movie adaptions. The David Lean films are phenomenal though for me he is one of the greatest ever directors.
Love David Leans 'Oliver Twist' Great production values, and Alec Guiness's Fagin is more scary than Robert Newtons Sykes. When iit comes to Christmas though, I prefer to watch the musical 'Oliver'
Alec Guiness does sinister extremely well, Guiness was equally as terrifying as Professor Marcus in The Ladykillers (one of my favorite movies).
Agreed. Great movie! Hated the remake!
Still not watched the remake though never really felt compelled to, I am a bit hit and miss with the Coen Brothers.
First, director John Carpenter will be hosting a series of on-line Kaiju film “watch alongs” on the evenings of November 3rd to November 6th.
https://www.dreadcentral.com/news/438843/john-carpenter-to-host-kaiju-film-event-masters-of-monsters/
The schedule is as follows:
Gojira (1954), November 3rd at 6 PM and 8 PM PT
The film that started it all.
Rodan (1956), November 4th at 6 PM and 8 PM PT
Toho’s first color film introduces the flying monster that would become one of Godzilla’s longest running rivals and (sometimes) friends. This film, however, just features Rodan (but there are two of them!!).
Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964), November 5th at 6 PM and 8 PM PT.
A personal favorite of mine, this film introduces the chief rival to Godzilla for the next forty years or so -- continuing with the 2019 American adaption GODZILLA: KING of the MONSTERS – in the form of the space monster Ghidorah. Plus, it features Akiko Wakabayashi who would go on to play agent Aki in YOLT a few years later.
The War of the Gargantuas (1966), November 6th at 6 PM and 8 PM PT
Two giant Frankenstein type monsters, one good, one evil, battle it out. IIRC, according to various reports, this was suit actor Haruo Nakajima favorite film, as the construction of the monster suit actually allowed him to use his eyes to express emotion.
Check the above link for the available viewing/streaming options.
Lastly, Fathom Events will be screening – for one night only November 3rd – 2003’s GODZILLA against MECHAGODZILLA – a film that was part of the third series of “G” films from 1999 to 2004. This is the first time this film has ever been screened in the US (although its’ been available on DVD for many years).

Note: This screening will be in Japanese with English subtitles and be shown along with a never-before-seen featurette as well as an exclusive message for the fans from Toho.
I'm assuming that all of this is in conjunction with the annual GODZILLA DAY celebrations.
Wow what she look and sound very much on Morgan from The Good Doctor:
@Creasy47 With 29 films (not counting the US “Monster verse” or animated features) spread across four distinct eras, recommending a suitable list of Godzilla films is really hard. Like Bond, some of the films are serious (relatively speaking of course), while some are completely bonkers. There are films where Godzilla plays the villain, and some films were it (or he) plays the hero. It all depends on what your individual likes and dislikes are.
I posted this back in January of this year (which may help),

as well as my individual reviews / impressions for
Gojira (1954): https://www.mi6community.com/discussion/comment/1234059#Comment_1234059
Invasion of Astro Monster (1965): https://www.mi6community.com/discussion/comment/1281798#Comment_1281798

In addition, YouTuber “UpFromTheDepths” has posted short reviews of each of the films: https://www.youtube.com/c/UpFromTheDepths88
Hope this helps.
EDIT: Akiva Schaffer set to direct the Naked Gun reboot with Liam Neeson in talks to star:

Actualy it will be 9th movie with the vijf Scorpion King movies. I only have seen three Mummy movies and first two Scorpion King.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is also producing a Netflix series which is very exciting!
The first two films were great I rewatched them both recently, if they do make another I would want Stephen Sommers to return to the directors chair.

That mean that 3D bluray/2D must be 3 disc edition minimal (2 Disc 3D Bluray + 2D Bluray), better be 4 disc (2 Disc 3D Bluray + 2D Bluray + Bonus BD) include bonusmaterial (See Titanic or The Hobbit movies) and again with 3D slipcover. At 3D on one disc in DTS-HD MA 7.1 is almoost impossible. First movie was only 1 disc with both versions and high bitrate DTS-HD MA 5.1 and second disc was a dvd and no extra's, but that was Paramount/Fox and second movie is Fox/Disney.
For 4K users in NL and flemish part in Belgium i hope there make exeption for this movie and 2 (3) disc 4K release (4K BD/Extra's + 2D Bluray or 4K BD + 2D Bluray + Bonus BD) will have Dutch subs this time on 4K disc too. Better not be exeption and do this for every movie now and use 2023 also to say goodby to use of Dutch, Belgium, French flag (and by prefer French rating text too) on front cover, so 12 logo only please!
I did watch Titanic at the cinema I remember that being very long well it seemed long at the time.
Looks very well shot, I like a good ghost story.
