Rupert Marathons - The Great Rupert (1950) Discussion

[–] SevernSarge 14 years ago

OK, no Marathon, but perhaps on consecutive nights...this year, once each night on the 23rd and on Christmas Eve. If its "on" again on Christmas Day, so much the better...one of the best little Christmas movies ever!
Cheers!!

Was it a great movie? No, but it was a fun little movie... I enjoyed it and would watch it again.

Good to know others enjoy this most unique but seldom seen classic ...

You cannot beat Jimmy Durante in anything he ever did and he is accompanied well by a fine class of top performers in this fun film ...

Yes, a marathon would be great, accompanied by other similar seasonal films.

Greetings gator-28 (old Florida boy here...)...Now starting my own little marathon...Mr. Durante's humor, as well as the honesty of his personae, transcends time. This is a classic, and, along with "A Christmas Story", is my favorite Christmas movie. Plus, I like squirrels...cheers!

2011 Xmas is coming, but it would be so much merrier with a few dancing Hitlers thrown in!

Absolute perfection in the face of woofing!

One of the classics that becomes classic and unforgetable as soon as you see it.

Saw it tonight for the first time, it was great. I love stories that has something great happen to people who have nothing but each other. Or maybe even they have no one and no hope for anything better and all of a sudden life gets a zillion% better!

reply

[–] VCR 12 years ago

Watching the DVD now!

Come on, Franklin! It'll be a fun trip!

reply

[–] SevernSarge 11 years ago

Squirrely Christmas greeting to all!

The Great Rupert marathon this year SevernGuy?

I too love this movie. Have my own copy of it. I think I'll be watching it tonight.

reply

[–] SevernSarge 10 years ago

Greetings, solovoyager! As a matter of fact, I got the dvd out last night, parked it by the tree, and it is primed and ready to go. Probably tonight and tomorrow. Cheers, and merry Christmas!

[–] SevernSarge 10 years ago

The rustle of leaves and the cooling air tells me that the holidays are nearing at a very squirrely rate...know what that means? Yes, perhaps a warmup viewing is in order this weekend! Cheers!

Always choose the lesser of two weevils.

[–] SevernSarge 9 years ago

Get those DVDs ready, the season is upon us! Squirrelly cheers!

reply

[–] SevernSarge 9 years ago

What a season. Leaving the DVD out for one more viewing on New Year's Day. Cheers!

Push the button, Max!

[–] boxerrebellion 9 years ago

Is there another Rupert movie?

reply

[–] SevernSarge 8 years ago

Alas, this is the only one that I know of.
Should'a been a trilogy.
Cheers!

I just saw this for the first time. It is a great little to discover. I would tell people watch this as a double feature with "Christmas in Connecticut"

reply

[–] SevernSarge 9 years ago

Hope everyone had a squirrelly Halloween! It'll soon be Rupert Season again! Cheers!!

Marathon?

Is there more than one Rupert movie?

Or do you just show the one over and over?

reply

[–] SevernSarge 8 years ago

This one over and over...usually mixed in with a few more holiday favorites.
I have just about every version of A Christmas Carol ever done.

So, when its 95F outside, and as humid as a sauna, what could be better tonight than a viewing of our favorite movie....cheers, and happy holidays ahead of time!
