The Three Kings

This wonderful Christmas movie comes to mind every year and I would love to see it again. ABC must have a copy somewhere and they should definitely rebroadcast it. Anyone found it on DVD yet? The three mental patients who believe they are the wise men in search of the Christ child are endearing and funny. As things get totally out of wack in their misadventure, one wonders if things will end well...I mostly remember the bond developed between these three men, the way the world misunderstands their intentions, and their attempts to "fix" things. I seem to remember that there was even a real camel involved or was that a horse? My mind is foggy on lots about this movie that came out in 1987, but know it's worth another look!

the three kings was produced by Spelling Entertainment in 1987 and aired on ABC starring Jack Warden and Lou Diamond Phillips. It is now owned by CBS they it is in their vault and they don't know of anyone looking for the movie. You have to call them at 310-264-3300. Their is a lady there who worked for Spelling Enterteimant and knows the movie. They won't release it because of lack of interest. If this movie is to be released people have to call and (annoy) request it to be released. This is one great holiday movie and should be released again they say it's deep in their vault but until their is enough interest in the movie Don't forget call CBS

This movie is a GREAT Christmas movie. Lou Diamond Phillips was what I consider a newbie to the screens and was wonderful in this. My family and I had a copy off the TV and have lost it. We would love to be able to find another copy. This movie showed a very different perspective of "The Three Kings" and the journey they made to find the Christ Child. I think it is a movie that should be re-released at Christmas time. It is one of those movies that after you watch it, you really remember it. I first saw it in 1987 and still to this day love it and could re-watch it and find more detail to it that I missed the several other times I have seen it. I have tried to locate a copy of it but have had no luck. If anyone has a copy feel free to respond and let me know if you are will to share it.

This is one of my favorite Christmas movies ever! My parents recorded it when I was a kid, and we used to watch it every year. It's a really good story about three patients from a mental hospital who dress up as the three kings for a Christmas pageant and end up going to look for Baby Jesus. This movie is a good reminder of what Christmas is really all about, and I really wish they'd put it out on DVD. I saw it for sale on DVD on some foreign website, but I was naturally skeptical about how trustworthy the place was, and of course not all DVDs are viewable in all regions anyway. I was hoping that since it was for sale in a foreign country, they'd put it on DVD in the US not long after that, but no such luck. If you have the chance to watch this movie sometime, do it--you won't regret it!

Heartwarming story and superb acting. I just obtained a DVD copy of this movie at www.truetvmovies.net. The quality isn't the best, but for those who love the movie, it's a great way to get it on DVD, especially when your VHS copies wear out. Merry Christmas!
