Oliver 1968 film

[PorcupinePrickles]

Im currently watching Oliver, I only watching ONCE a year religiously around Christmas time. Anyone else to this with old films?
If so what’s your film(s) of choice?

Santa Claus The Movie.
Takes me back to happy, stress free magical times.

Mine is also this version of Oliver. Apparently, when I was a little girl I looked like the child that played Oliver (Mark Lester, i think) 🙂

Is there another film version of Oliver other than that one?

It's ones of my favourite films, I must have watched it dozens of times!

Jack Wild is perfect in Oliver ❤

Ohhh so nice to see other fans of this film! It’s a real comfort film for me.
Fagin is brilliant!

The magic of films! This is a great choice

@BedTaker
there is a BBC version with Tom Hardy and Sara Lancashire, it’s really depressing 😢

We watch this too, "these sausages are mouldy!" "Shut up an' drink yer gin..."
Love it!

Love all the songs in Oliver. Think Oliver Reed and Ron Moody were perfectly cast.

I watch Calamity Jane every year. It was my favourite as a child and now DD watches with me.

I adore Calamity Jane but out Xmas film in Planes, Trains and Automobiles. I more or less know it by heart, but still laugh out loud.

I so love the 1968 Oliver. Amazing cast and so many great sing along songs!

Planes, Trains and Automobiles was on a couple of days ago and I watched it. Hadn't seen it in years. "Those aren't pillows!!" 😂

Such a good film!!. The Santa in this film is exactly how I imagine the ‘real’ one to look

Me too!

That’s Oliver Twist though- not the musical version (Oliver!). Yes, more depressing without a bit of Oom Pah Pah 😁

We watch (annually) Die Hard on Christmas Eve, and The Wizard of Oz on Christmas Day - but I think I'll watch Oliver! tomorrow!

@Bernadinetta True - but I cant bear seeing children suffer like that and its not even as if its exaggerated that actually happened to them 😓

I saw 1946 Great Expectations last year and loved it! I like old films and not new ones as much.

I love that Oliver.

Who will buy scene is my favourite with all the cart sellers and everything.

My must watch every year Christmas film however, and I know it's not to everyone's taste.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

"Look children a deer"

I love Oliver!! A great film that has stood the test of time. I went to see it at the pictures when it was first released and I had a huge crush on Mark Lester. I wanted to marry him (I was 7) 😍😍

One of my favourite films Oliver. Love all the songs and dancing. The ending is quite sad and violent, especially for kids to watch.

I love The Wizard of Oz, but not seen it on the TV listings this year

I went to a Singalonga version of Oliver in the West End. It was hysterical..the songs are all so high and virtually impossible to song.

Mine is When Harry Met Sally, BTW.
