1) A Child's Christmas in Wales:
My family and I discovered this movie on 23 December 1987, and we purchased a copy of it when it was released on video and have watched it every Christmas Eve since then. My children are all adults, but they would never allow Christmas Eve to pass without watching it one more time. It's charming, lyrical, and poignant.
2) The Bishop's Wife:
The debonair Kerry Grant comes ever so-close to losing his wings when he falls in love with the lovely Loretta Young. But in the end, everyone's prayers are answered.
3) It's a Wonderful Life: My daughter dislikes this film and does not understand why it is a Christmas favorite. Poor Jimmy Stewart gets stuck in Beaver Falls and never realizes his dream to travel around the world and make his fortune. But love and sacrifice brings its own riches.
4) White Christmas: I love the songs and the sentimental ending. Bing Crosby is great, but it's the zany Danny Kaye that makes this movie better than everyone else's Crosby-Christmas favorite, Holiday Inn.
5) A Christmas Carol (w/ George C. Scott):
I think I have seen most versions of "A Christmas Carol." This is my favorite. Scott captures Scrooge perfectly. My second favorite version is the one starring Alistair Sim (1951). Bah, humbug!
