I have homework all Thanksgiving break!!! AHHH!
But I usually use the extra time to go film-watching crazy. Five films a day I say.
I once saw five films the day. I never woke up.
I watched the whole Antoine Doinel series in one day. Ahhh what a great day!
Arsenic And Old Lace. Every Christmas.
TJ, I’m probably going to do the samw thing as you and watch the lengthier films. I’ve already got The Decalogue out and hopefully I’ll get to some more Kurosawa.
I love Dekalog!
I went and saw the new King Kong in the theater a couple years ago on New Years Eve.
That was a pretty awful experience.
Saw “Sweeney Todd” on New’s Years Eve; great experience. And “No Country for Old Men” on Dec. 26th; aso awesome,
“Die Hard” is also a good Christmas film.

Well, I didn’t get to dive into Seven Samurai or the Star Wars trilogy like I’d hoped over the Thanksgiving holiday. I did watch The Fall, Carnival of Souls and several episodes of the Batman Animated Series, though!

When it comes to those rare days we can get off from work, namely being Thanksgiving, Christmas, perhaps Labor Day and hopefully the Fourth of July, among others, I occasionally, however inconsistently, like to spend my time watching some classic, fulfilling movies.
I tried to keep it going so that I would watch at least Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi on Thanksgiving Day by myself or with my younger relatives, but it hasn’t worked out quite that way this year.
What I might think I’ll start doing is getting that going again, or possibly going a different route. And that would be to give special attention to watching particularly lengthy movies over the holidays, like Seven Samurai, Giant, Dr. Zhivago, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy or any number of movies that tend to run around three hours or longer.
That’s just my thoughts on my holiday movie viewings. What are yours?
