On the 8th Day of Christmas
I was having a hard time deciding what movie to do today. I watched two different Holiday Movie clip shows over the weekend and found out about some movies I hadn't seen. Some of them are old movies that I can't find playing on TV yet, so I'll keep searching. Once I see some of those, I may add them to my list since I have 3 spaces. One of the ones they had on the show "Hollywood Christmas" - was one of the ones I wasn't sure qualified for a Christmas movie even though it was on my list for the advent. So, since they included it I decided it should stay on my list and use it for today!
Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Edward Scissorhands (Widescreen Anniversary Edition) on DVD for $9.99
(Oooh they have the Blu-Ray for only $16.99 - sweet! I might have to ask for it for Christmas!)
Once upon a time in a castle high on a hill lived an inventor whose greatest creation was named Edward. Although Edward had an irresistible charm, he wasn't quite perfect. The inventor's sudden death left him unfinished, with sharp shears of metal for hands. Edward lived alone in the darkness until one day a kind Avon lady took him home to live with her family. And so began Edward's fantastical adventures in a pastel paradise known as Suburbia.
"A kind inventor is almost finished piecing together his latest creation when fate prevents him from completing his most important project. Edward may seem dangerous, with scissors instead of hands, but when a compassionate Avon lady comes calling, it's clear that things are going to be changing for Edward who has been alone in the large empty mansion. What they both don't realize is that the most important change of all won't be found in Edward but in the residents of the sleep suburbs he will be calling home, and a young teenage girl who's eyes will be opened. Written by Leah Fugere "
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie! I finally watched it with my kids earlier this year. It's not really a Christmas movie, but there is the Christmas party and the scene above where he makes snow while sculpting the ice. And his hands were supposed to be his Christmas gift, but he never got them.
Interesting Blog about this being an "Anti-Christmas" movie.
