West Seattle holidays: Help The Admiral choose a movie

| Admiral Theater | Holidays | West Seattle news

Admiral Theater boss Dinah Brein says, “It’s that time again……time to decide the annual Free Admiral Theater Xmas Movie. We’ve already shown Elf, A Christmas Story and Jim Carrey’s A Christmas Carol. We want something both kid friendly and adult friendly.” Got any suggestions? E-mail her at admiraltheater@gmail.com. They’ll also take up a collection for charity that night, too; the movie will be screened one night the week before Christmas.

“Holiday Inn” gets my vote.

dameDonna November 22, 2011 (8:04 am)

I always vote for “Christmas Vacation.” Not just the best holiday movie, but one of my favorites of all time.

Fabulousem November 22, 2011 (8:31 am)

OMG Tracy, you are cracking me up! I was going to post that if nobody else did.

I vote for Love Actually.

Emmet and Otter’s jugband christmas for sure!!!! It’s a Jim Henson masterpiece and the children love it!!!!

Thistle November 22, 2011 (8:59 am)

I love the Polar Express with Hot Coco idea! Or easily one of the Muppet Christmas movies (Christmas Carol or Emit Otter… I am not ashamed to admit I still get teary eyed at the end of Muppet Christmas Carol, that song is so sweet.

Cineaste November 22, 2011 (10:00 am)

Excellent & enjoyable response TR.
I would love to hear some of your other guilty pleasures, film wise.

WSB November 22, 2011 (10:43 am)

Pleasure has nothing to do with it. Just a sponge for knowledge, whether necessary or not!

AJP November 22, 2011 (10:33 am)

Muppet Christmas Carol!!!!

MB November 22, 2011 (11:09 am)

I vote Home Alone or the Polar Express!! Wish I hadn’t missed A Christmas Story…best…movie…ever!

Dave D. November 22, 2011 (12:06 pm)

Muppets Christmas Carol, or Emitt Otter. Christmas Vacation is great but you see it all over the place (thought it would be great seeing it in the theater) The other two are a little harder to find, especially this time of year.

Foxy Diamond November 22, 2011 (2:46 pm)

Could we p l e a s e have a late (but not too late) showing of The Hebrew Hammer??? C’mon I have to put up with freakin’ Christmas music for 2 months it’s the least you could do for the chosen peeps!

MANY THANKS!
