This version of "A Christmas Carol" starring La Lucci as Ebenezer Scrooge (aka "Ebbie") is surprisingly well done and well acted. The movie is brought up to date by its setting; a department store rather than a moneylending house. The supporting cast does an excellent job in showing the true meaning of Christmas and how it is never too late to change your life. I scour the TV Guide and watch it every Christmas. Would someone please get this out on DVD?

"You've Got Mail" is much better than it's predecessor, "The Shop Around the Corner". It's much more upbeat, the characters are better drawn, and the storyline is much more interesting. I really cared about what was going on in their lives, and the story progression/character development was believable. Although I enjoy "Sleepless in Seattle", I enjoyed this movie more. There was more interaction between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in this movie, and "Mail" is the better for it. Greg Kinnear and Parker Posey are also fabulous in their supporting roles. And the movie is shot so beautifully, it makes you want to head up to NYC in the springtime! The streets, the cafes, the parks - ahhh! What a sweet love note to New York City.
