Christmas Mountain

This is the best Christmas Movie I have ever seen!! It is great for all ages. It truly captures the essence of Christmas. Many times we forget what Christmas means, and this takes us right back to it. It has a great cast. They all play their parts real well. Many times we forget people who are in need or we judge them by the way they look. We forget to look closer and see the real human being. This is a great movie for children to watch to learn values from. I haven't seen it in years and have been looking at all the Christmas movies on television wanting to see it again. I love all the funny movies at Christmas, but this is the one that touches my heart.

Where did they come from. Ending is defenitly an "alter" and a bad one. I enjoyed it through it's flaws. Where did they come from. Ending is defenitly an "alter" and a bad one. I enjoyed it through it's flaws.

I could write a 1000-word diatribe detailing why this movie is so bad but I don't feel like it. just trust me this is bottom of the barrel filmmaking. Bad writing bad directing bad acting bad musical score. Horrible

For many years John Wayne's "3 Godfathers" was my favorite Christmas western. I think "Christmas Mountain: The Story of a Cowboy Angel" might have ended its decades long reign. "Christmas Mountain" is terrific. Now with Slim Pickens getting top billing is a bit of a stretch since he's only in a couple of minutes of the movie but who really cares. Pickens does a nice job while he's there. The rest of the cast is just what the doctor ordered. I don't know what to say about their performances except to say that they are perfect for this movie. The only demerit I would give "Christmas Mountain" is that the prison window looked ridiculous. A small complaint but an otherwise great movie.

Cowboys, Christmas, ghosts, human kindness, all in the early 80s: my subconscious could have concocted this just for me. It's Scrooge-esque (Slim Pickens appears a like some gentle Jacob Marley) but our lead guy aint so bad. Good-hearted cowboy sent on a mission to deliver goods by grizzly townsfolk (more like the real Scrooges) to a poor family expecting a baby. They're sheep people but he's a cowboy so never the twain should meet? Thus unfolds a message of harmony between those who are different. 'Little House On The Prairie' feeling of morals and tender emotions (somehow I got wet eyed at his church speech). Carols and folksy Christmas music abounds. Snowy scenes, mellow vibe. Can't think of a more Christmassy western than this.
