It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. What are you
watching?
The Classics:
These are the movies that have been around since the
beginning of time. Your grandmother watched them when she was young, that’s how
old they are. And no matter how many time you re-watch these classics it
wouldn’t be Christmas without them.
It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)
Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without George Bailey and
his guardian angel Clarence. James Stewart plays the suicidal George Bailey who
is shown what life would have been like had he never existed. This film set a
lot of Hollywood standards and made Jimmy Stewart a household name.
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
Edmund Gwenn stars as the loveable Kris Kringle who
convinces Susan and her cynical mother Ms Walker, played by Maureen O’Hara that
he is the real Santa. Throw in a little romance between Ms. Walker and Fred
Gaily who helps arrange a formal hearing for Santa and you too will be believe
in the magic behind Christmas.
White Christmas (1954)
Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye star as a successful
song-and-dance team who become romantically involved with a sister act team.
They team up to save the failing Vermont Inn of their former commanding
general. You’ll learn the importance of falling in love, doing good for others
and everything you ever wanted to know about the magic of snow.
Claymation and
Animation Magic:
These are the films that make you feel like a kid again. And
as all good Christmas films would have it there are carols for all the films.
The 60s held some sort of magic that could only be described with the use of
puppets and animation. It’s no surprise that Tim Burton lands in the mix.
Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town (1970)
The Nightmare before Christmas (1993)
Frosty the Snowman (1969)
A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
So don't be a Grinch and tell me what you like to watch during the Christmas season.
