A Christmas To Remember (1978) 

This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies. The actors are stellar. The script is just wonderful. It just the world needs to see this movie again. It put things in perspective. And we would be more grateful for what we do have and how we have progressed. It is December 22nd 2022 Merry Christmas to all may you have blessings, miracles, Joy, Bliss, Harmony, health, and prosperity in all forms. I give God the glory!!!AMEN

I am so glad to have found this! This movie was filmed on my Grandparents Farm in Minnesota. This was my Dad's childhood home. He is now 89 years old and enjoyed seeing it again. I was pleased to view it with my grand children. Thank you, and I hope it's always here for me to re-view as my cd that I had no longer works.

I never saw this before. Good story. The poor quality is forgiven, due to its age. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas!

This was filmed in my hometown of Rush City MN!

What a blessing! I’m viewing for the first time at 62 and loved it. Bless you !

Jason Robards played this character so well so many times over the years. He is dearly missed. I’m so glad we have this gem. Thanks for sharing.

A film that warms the heart and celebrates Christmas in the most simplest of ways.

I have been looking for this movie for SOOOOOOOO long!

I wish there were movies like this today. Grounding.

I've only just seen this film for the first time! What a little gem! I particularly liked George Parry's performance as the grandson. I also liked the scenes where dead son comes back, such lovely moving scenes, particularly where he kisses his father on the head in church, just beautiful... If you want to see another touching feel good movie, watch Special Olympics: A Special Kind Of Love, also staring George Parry. Full movie available on youtube.

Do you know how many years I've searched for this movie? Thank you! Thank you!

How could this priceless jem got lost in time,esp with eva,jason, woodward

I enjoyed the movie very much. Going back in time has a special way to somehow bring a smile to a face, a way to cherish memories of the past.

I am so thankful this movie is here. I remember watching it when it aired on Christmas night back when I was about 14 and I was moved by the sad sweet movie. I tried to find it for years but was only able to get a bootlegged DVD sold as new that wouldn't play. This story is touching to me because I grew up on the farm and was very close to my grandparents. My Grand Dad was a WWI veteran who went to Camp Funston Kansas for his military training before going to France. His little brother went a little later but was caught up in the great Spanish flu epidemic an died miserably 2 October 1918 in France shortly after his arrival. It would take my Great Grandparents until 1921 to finally get approval to have his remains shipped home for burial with his family. This movie always hits home with me.

I haven't seen this movie before. It particularly reminded me of my uncle who died at Pearl Harbor. A very special movie and I'm thankful for it's posting.

❤️Great story of the human strength 💯 A good movie to watch through, tough times ‼️ Thank You.

🎄Capote's A Christmas Memory, The Thanksgiving Visitor and this movie was my Mom’s holiday favorites...amazing classics🎄

How sweet this movie was remind me of there is a time to give and a time to forgive and a time to letting go.

My First Time Seeing this Movie, What a Treasure. Thank you 😊

Classic: actors, storyline, dialogue, life situations & above all, relatability. Regardless of place, we all have an innate understanding of how important this gem of a film is to people from all ‘walks of life.’ Unsentimental, unflinching & unsurpassed as a favourite Christmas story on film. Thanks Phantom309

OH HOW SWEET!!!! THANK GOD FOR GOOD STORIES!!!

Very sad, but so sweet. Jason Robards and Eva Marie Saint are incredible

That's Joanne Woodward! Hilarious. We've got to move on without you Rusty. Merry Christmas.

WOW, fantastic movie!!!!! Thank you.

Thank you much for posting this movie. Loved it the first time I saw it and have waited 39 years to see it again. You made my Christmas

I read the novel " The Melodeon " almost 40 years ago. I never thought I would ever get to watch it . I never even knew it was made into a movie until now. The Grandpa's tractor in the novel was not a John Deere. It was a Rumely Oil Pull. And the farm was NOT in Minnesota. It was in Michigan!!

Thanks SO much. These movies had such good stories, dialogue, direction AND acting. Really appreciate you for posting!!

I've been looking for this since 1978!!

What a feel good movie. Thanks

Looking forward to watching this soon! Thanks for posting.

I'm just 10 yrs.old w this movie..very nice

Wow! Many thanks u finally answered my wish n I got to watch a gift of love you never let ur viewers down Xmas gems like the one now showing n so many others that tv has forgotten All of the great Xmas movies that used to be shown r far superior to any of the gazillion hallmark smaltz that’s shown every year same ole storylines just a different town another good one is the Xmas visitor I’ve been watching so much better stuff on utube Netflix n prime video on my iPad then what’s being shown on reg tv keep up the good work utube folks it’s much appreciated Pamela from n.c. God BLess n merry Xmas to utube n all it’s viewers 🙋‍♀️👍🎁🎄🎅🏻❤️

I finally got to see this movie again! This is only the second time. I was a young child the first time...this is a great movie! Love it! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for uploading this. A real gem, I saw Christmas 1981. Watch it every Christmas. Saw it with my in laws who were in their 90s a few years ago. Do not know if they liked it or not. They passed, and few living people now remember the depression, at least not like as in the 1970s. It may have been a little too close for them. Father in law lived on a farm...he ate, ..mother in law lived in the city..she starved. My favorite Christmas movie, thank you.

THANK YOU for finding this! I watched it a couple of times in the 70s, and had been hoping to find it again.

Nice casting job - the boy looks a lot like his grandpa (and Jason Robards, the quintessential, crusty old character!) Thanks for uploading, sweet movie!

OMG this is my favorite kind of movie! Thank you. An all-star movie of incredible quality 👏 Just to add that I grew up on a farm in southern New Jersey in the 1950s. My parents were Irish-American. They made sure we 5 children always had a wonderful Christmas. I have so many good memories. Thank you again. ❤

Directed by George Englund, who was one of Marlon Brando's closest friends, and one of the last scripts ever written by Stewart Stern, who wrote REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE and had a very close friendship with James Dean, this may intrigue those who have the perception to sense the ghostly shadows of Dean's spirit lurking in the subtext of Stern's 1976 adapted teleplay. A young boy abandoned by his mother goes to live on a farm and suffers an alienation of affection from a paternal figure; a plot line that is a virtual prismatic double of Dean's real-life childhood circumstances with his deceased mother, being sent to his aunt and uncle's Indiana farm in the late 1930's, and his distant and coldly aloof relationship with his father. Stern wrote the script for the 1957 documentary THE JAMES DEAN STORY, so any lingering psychic residue on Stern's behalf regarding the sense of loss pervading this wintry holiday TV film from the late 1970's is not that far-fetched, even though it's very subliminal. But I believe it can be easily teased out, especially in terms of the "phantom son" resolution.

Thank you for sharing this Christmas movie! Merry Christmas 🎁🎄🎁 !

So glad you downloaded this! I saw it on TV back in about 1985 or 6 and have been looking for it ever since! God Bless You!

I saw this made for TV movie when it first came out and never forgot it. So excited to see it again. Thank you! I had forgotten this is set in Minnesota, where I live. I can count on one hand the number of brown Christmases I have seen and I'm nearly 70! Especially 60 miles south of Duluth.

Thank you so much for posting this movie! This was filmed by the church by our house. My grandma and brother were extras in the movie. I haven't been able to watch it as we only have the vhs version. It was so wonderful getting glimpses of my grandma again! She was born on Christmas Day and every Christmas I think of her in this movie. Loved seeing her as this is the only video I have of her!

Buietiful story loved it

I gonna cry !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!

AS A 70s Jason Robards experiencer, iv learned those hollywont 70s scripts get drama-pressing almost too far, this is one too close to call... iv seen jason robarts movies i don't have mood energy for much again, so to tell you to hang on for the ride is absolutely okay to do, it is worth it and you will even be life experienced for watching all way through and Then YOU WILL definitely have Respect for Jason and given this isn't hollywon'ts usual / some hope pays off that Reality for the Good Does come along and gets made into movies teaching Good goes onward like we know in reality it is possible for it to! God Bless You as really that won't hurt You either !

When the Grandpa's personality issues became apparent, I was going to stop watching -- what an ass!! But, I didn't. I'm so glad I stuck with it...a great movie! Thx for uploading

Thank your, I think you have made my father happy. I don't know why these movies have to be so hard to find.

First time watcher and loved this movie. Very good !

I loved this movie since first seeing it. Favorite scene: Jason Robards talking about getting Eva Marie Saint drunk and the four stages of drunkness: jocose, lachrymose, bellicose and comatose. Wonderful movie.

My favorite Christmas movie

Great movie! So sad but so good as well. Thanks for sharing. Never saw it before

Wonderful movie!!!! Tyfs God bless you

Would love to see one of the cable channels play this plus some of the others we don’t get to see televised any more, I’m sure there would be a lot interest from 50 years old plus club which I’m a member

When the grandson says he loves his uncle even though he hadn't even seen him as he was dead before he was born I can relate to that because my auntie died 24 years before I was born and I feel the same way about her 💔😥

I can't believe I found this again! I have often thought of it over the years...Is this the one with "My Pony Boy" ?? I guess I'll have to watch and see. Thank you so much!!!

What a nice movie. Thank you

This was a great Christmas show.thanks for posting.

this movie is a lost gem

Unfortunately, we no longer live in this kind of world or nation. But we can preserve our memories and keep traditions going privately.

You have to give this great movie a few minutes to get into the real story , like a boys or a fathers dream of days long ago !

Wounderfull

Why is such great actress Joanne Woodward playing such a small role?

Nice snare drumming at the opening of the movie

This was awesome :) Thanks for posting !

Thank you mate. Merry Christmas.

My dad said he saw the set when he was a kid because it was close to his house

My mom was'nt born yet when this movie was released in 1978.😂

I have that book and like to read it every year.

I love this movie. Thank you for posting most of it. I remember quite a bit more at the beginning. Do you have the beginning of this movie or is it my computer?

Super movie!!

Wish utube could show the Xmas TV movie called a gift of love with lee remick n Angela Lansbury it’s one of the best

do you know of any way to buy this movie on dvd? we have it on vhs but it's my father's favourite movie and so very scared of it breaking.

Get the Kleenex ready since a lot of parts are rough!

The multiple copied VHS quality of this movie Mexican watchable.

Don’t make good Xmas movies like this anymore there was a whole bunch back in the seventies all the big actors unfortunately tv doesn’t show them anymore luv it when they pop up on utube now we’re inundated with hallmark movies up the wazoo years ago hallmark came out with TV movies 4 times a year with limited commercials that was good tv n ya didn’t have to pay for it either who remembers that Merry Xmas to all n watch what ever Xmas movies pop up on utube way better than what’s on pay tv now just my opinion 🙋‍♀️🎅🏻🎄

2:15 anyone know the music used here?

super..

Jason Robarb without teeth?? Great movie nonetheless, so the boy Rusty married Lollipop...

genial

I looked for this on the movie sites and all that came up was some stupid lame crap that couldn't hold o' candle. This is the only "A Christmas To Remember" that matters. I finally searched it here and I have to thank you so much. It's been o' sweet thing to be haunted by the "ghost of Danny Larson" all these years. It was based on "The Melodeon" by Glendon Swarthout.

Where is George party now

0.50 ...check out that dude's hair !...

just afilm

En español

Horrible movie! Very depressing!
