Christmas Movies
Christmas is a time for memories. What better way
to create lasting ones than to gather the whole
family around to watch some great classic Christmas
movies?
Many movies come to mind, but following are the
three considered by many to be the best.
1)It’s A Wonderful Life(1946):
James(Jimmy) Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore
George Bailey(Jimmy Stewart) is considering ending
it all to escape all the problems in his life—on
Christmas! Just as he is about to jump off a bridge,
he’s interrupted by Clarence, his guardian
angel(Henry Travers). To convince George not to
go through with it, Clarence shows him what life
would be like without him.
Did you just hear that bell ring? An angel just
got his wings.
2)Miracle On 34th Street(1947):
Edmund Gwenn, Maureen O’Hara, John Payne,
Gene Lockhart, Natalie Wood
When nice, old Kris Kringle(Edmund Gwenn) claims
to be the real Santa and is put in an insane asylum,
Fred Gailey(John Payne) decides to represent him
in court. In a hearing that tests the people’s
beliefs, Kris is found to be the real Santa.
Yes, Susan(Natalie Wood), there is a Santa Claus.
3)Scrooge(1951): Alastair Sim,
Mervyn Jones, Michael Hordern
Everybody knows the story of Ebenezer Scrooge.
But, even with all the different versions of “A
Christmas Carol,” over the years, none have
given a better performance than Alastair Sim. It’s
as if he was born to play the stingy, hard-hearted
Scrooge. Sim is the embodiment of what Charles Dickens
had in mind.
I think I’ll go buy the biggest goose in
all of London.
Now go rent these three all-time classic Christmas
movies, make some hot chocolate, gather the family
around the TV and start making some classic Christmas
movie memories.
