Director : Richard Donner
Running Time : 98 mins

Frank Cross (Murray) is a television executive who hates Christmas due to his perceived miserable childhood and he believes that the holidays are a waste of time and only good for making more money, but when he finds himself being visited by three spirits who want to show him the error of his ways, he discovers that perhaps there is more to life than just making money.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this movie almost 20 years ago, and it’s become something of a tradition in my household to watch this every Christmas. Murray is wonderfully drole in his role as Frank Cross, and Karen Allen is the perfect choice to play his love interest, Claire.
