Koolau if you liked Monty Woolley in that horrible movie The Bishop's Wife (IMO) you'll love The Man Who Came to dinner!

I've seen it. I didn't find that movie as entertaining as TBW though we each have our own preferences. Thanks for sharing. I've seen MW in several old movies on TCM but I think TBW is still my favorite MW film. YMMV as always.

A Christmas Without Snow

A Christmas Without Snow - Wikipedia

A divorcee, Zoe Jensen (Michael Learned), moves to San Francisco from Omaha in an effort to rebuild her life. She has reluctantly left her young son back home with his grandmother until she is more financially secure. She joins a local church choir which has just gained a new, demanding choirmaster, retired music conductor Ephraim Adams (John Houseman). Adams challenges the choir to dramatically improve, creating discomfort for some of the members, particularly when he sets the high goal of performing Handel's Messiah for a Christmas concert. Meanwhile, the choir overcome setbacks as they all deal with personal issues.

All of the Doctor Who Christmas specials are excellent.

If I had to pick just one, it would be The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe

Is it wrong to say "Bad Santa"??

I thought for sure based on your avatar you would say "Diehard"

As it happens, I'm watching TBW as I write this. It's the part where MW entertains Dudley and Julia with the "eternal" sherry.

That's a good version. My favorite is the 1951 version with Alistair Sim.

Koolau, I absolutely agree that the Alistair Sim version is the best. Seeing this in black and white brings out the feeling of 1840's London and doesn't distract from the actual story like some of the color versions of the film can do. Watched it last night on Christmas Eve for the umpteenth time.
