Holiday Movie Marathon
7555 Draper Avenue, San Diego, 92037
Cost: Free
Spend the afternoon and early-evening before Christmas in the Community Room of the La Jolla Riford Library for an 8 ½ hour marathon of holiday movies. Titles to be screened include Miracle on 34th St., The Bishop’s Wife, and the 1951 adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, starring Alastair Sim as the architect of Scrooge. No kidding, next to Quincy Magoo, you’re not likely to find a better Ebenezer. Take advantage of this family-friendly festival aimed at introducing young people to classic (read: black-and-white) cinema. Doors open at 9:30 am, and the shows run continually until 6 pm. — Scott Marks
