[SUW] Favorite Holiday themed movie

For classic, I like It's A Wonderful Life. I remember before NBC bought the rights, that there was one year I could have watched it 4 times in one day when different stations had it on at different times.

 

For more current, Love Actually. Yes, it's more of a love story, but it takes place during the Christmas season, and being Christmas is part of the plot.

Two old faves...

 

"A Nightmare Before Christmas"...Tim Burton is a genious.

 

"A Christmas Story"...There's a little Ralphie in all of us.

 

My new favorite is "Elf", though. Will Farrell is at the peak of his carreer now. The scene with him eating cotton balls at the doctor's office is brilliant, truly brilliant.

"Period Of Adjustment", kind of funny 1962 black and white film starring Jane Fonda and Jim Hutton. It was, in fact, written by Tennesse Williams. A rare stab at comedy, from one of my very favorite writers. It is about a newly married couple on Christmas. One of HJ's first films. Not a classic necessarily, but something a little different for the holidays, and not the same old tired story!
