There is a host of wonderful Christmas movies out there, so watch out for these.
A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965). You could love it just for the jazz score alone but Linus’s fearless proclamation of the gospel Nativity story makes it a winner.
Miracle on 34th Street, the 1947 version, not the 1955, 1973, or 1994 remakes.
Christmas in Connecticut, with Barbara Stanwyck (1945) definitely not the Kris Kristofferson/Dyan Cannon
Mon Oncle Antoine, (1971) one Christmas Eve in rural Quebec in the 1940s.
Ernest Saves Christmas (1985). Call me a naive, sentimental fool but I love Jim Varney.
The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992). Rizzo the Rat as Charles Dickens. Michael Caine is great as Scrooge.
Trading Places (1983). Eddie Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Denholm Elliot, Don Ameche, Ralph Bellamy, Jamie-Lee Curtis, laughter and justice.
