My Favorite Hallmark Christmas Movie Of All Time

I read that book during a med. cruise. As for the movie, bates is just about as spooky/scary as an actress can be.

Caan ? Take him or leave him. Folk still cheer at the toll booth scene when/where sonny corleone is riddled with hardball. Then again in the thief movie when/where he backs his fairlane into his ex's new hubby's corvette and just keeps backing into it until all the fiberglass fenders are lying on the pavement garners great audience response. Everyone has suffered similar persecution at the d.m.v. and can relate.

My bad.....I just watched all of the "thief" 1981 just to discover it was caan's previous film, "hide in plain sight" 1980 that I alluded to. Try as I might I cannot find a clip of the scene to link here where , after being dissed in the d.m.v. by a rude civil servant, caan backs his car into a gleaming 'vette. Once he realizes whose car it is (goombah hubby in law raising his kids) he keeps backing into it until most of the fiberglass exterior is in shambles.

I'd like to have that two hours back I lost watching "thief" but is was cool to see tuesday weld again though she was on the wrong side of thirty (37?) at the time. Back then she seemed ancient to me. Now ? A piece of fluff at 37 is downright kittenish.
