Ah, thank you for this. You've given me an idea for a ficlet. And, yes, I did foreget it.

I don't know that I've seen that one! but my library has it! Thank you!

You've never seen Miracle? Oh, you're in for a treat, then! Colorized is fine, but the remake isn't.

Do you know that when the original first came out it didn't come out in the Christmas season? It came out in the summer. The studio was (rightfully!) concerned about releasing a holiday film outside of the holiday season, so all of the trailers featured people talking about how great the movie was and carefully not talking about the plot at all.

That seems very strange [re: summer release] especially given these day so much is given to Christmas movie timing.
