The Ghosts of Dickens' Past (1998)
Excellent
I came across this movie quite by accident and I'm sure glad I did! Being a student of Dickens and Victorian England in general, this film has to be one of the most accurate portrayals of 1840's London that I have seen. It's as if someone took a camera and found a portal into the past! One would never know that it was filmed in Canada! The storyline itself is rather entertaining, although only having partial truth. Since it's not truly a Christmas film per se, it's an excellent movie to watch in late October or early November, when it's too early to pull out your Holiday movies. It's a very enjoyable family flick that not only entertains, but has the Christian values that seem to be missing in so many of today's films without being overly preachy. Highly recommended: 5 out of 5 stars.
