The kids and I are planning on watching tons of Christmas movies next week when we are on vacation.
So, seeing as we are coming up with our list of must see Christmas movies I was wondering if you knew the answer to these questions:
Do you know
which actor appeared in both ‘A Christmas Story’ and ‘Elf’?
Peter
Billingsley
Despite now
directing and producing movies more than act in them Peter Billingsley likes to
go back and take on small acting roles from time to time.
In ‘Elf’ he
was one of the elves in Santa’s shop.
Did you
what color the original Grinch was?
Black and
white, with shades of red, which is how Dr. Seuss created him.
But, according to legend, Chuck Jones who
directed the Grinch movie wanted him to be green just like all the ugly rental
cars driving around in the Washington-Baltimore area.
Did you
know that Jack Skellington makes a ‘hidden’ appearance in at least 4 other
movies?
- - Beetlejuice
(on the top of the carnival hat that Beetlejuice wears)
- - The
Princess and the Frog (as one of the Shadow Demons summoned by Dr. Facilier)
- - Alice
in Wonderland (as the design in the Mad Hatters Bow and Tie)
- - Coraline
(his head appears in the egg yolk)
Did you
know that Hugh Grant really did not want to do ‘that dance scene’ in Love
Actually?
According
to the director Richard Curtis he was really grumpy about doing it, saying that
it wasn’t very ministerial. They only shot that scene on the final day.
I’m so glad
they added it, cause I just love it.
Do you watch re-watch Christmas movies?
