Scrooged

errika_mason shared a tip "This film is a hilarious update to the Scrooge character centered around the Christmas 🎄 holiday. Bill Murray is perfect as the Cable TV executive who needs to start loving humanity again. It is a sort of twisted comedy, but I always laugh so hard at the same scenes every time I watch it!"

queer-giraffe shared a tip "The opening sizzle reel of IBC programming is pure gold and I absolutely love the cast. The scene transitions, effects work, and Danny Elfman’s score give Donner’s ahead-of-its-time Dickens take a demented Burton-esque edge—I adore this. Carol Kane’s sheer brutality in this is next level and I’m convinced any movie with John Housman telling a story is good. Love the Trump tower dig, and Bobcat’s whole arc. Also, “The North Pole is abuzz as Christmas preparation is in full swing. But a group of psychos have other plans and seize Santa’s Workshop. Only Lee Majors can stop them”. It’s been 34 years and I’m still dying to see THE NIGHT THE REINDEER DIED."

Garbagehands shared a tip "This has to be in my top 5 of favorite Christmas movies, my family would have it in their Christmas movie rotation when I was a kid and I was both scared and amused at the same time. I would say if you have kids that scare easy maybe leave this one out as the ghosts in this movie can be actually horrific and disturbing..I found out the hard way as kid but for me that was not a bad thing because I still loved to watch it every year and made it that much more memorable! I really consider this to be a comedy/horror/holiday movie and gives each genre care and it’s own spaces to take the spot light."

madeline_glanton shared a tip "I can see why this film is a Christmas classic! The movie is funny, but it wouldn’t be nearly as good if someone else played Frank. Bill Murray’s charisma is movie magic! Would totally watch again"

justmanderz shared a tip "I wasn’t the biggest fan of this movie. Although I do enjoy Bill Murray, I don’t think this is his best work. The humor was out there, although there were a few funny parts I did enjoy. But the acting overall I thought was cheesy."

IAmVance shared a tip "This movie is bonkers. I saw it when I was younger but I didn't remember it being this wild. It's absolutely worth watching for the manic energy, sudden tonal shifts, and Bill Murray's unhinged and improvised speech at the end. The rest of my thoughts on the movie are behind a paywall at https://www.patreon.com/boyswatchingbuffy"

edna_alliett-haddock shared a tip "Bill Murray in this 80's classic Christmas movie was a twist on a more newer way to tell the story of A Christmas Carol. I have this one in my Christmas collection as well."

myles_becker shared a tip "One of the best adaptations of Dickens' eternal tale. Bill Murray is at a high here, and all the supporting cast is fantastic. If you don't cry at the end scene, you may not be human. :)"
