Do you or your family have any movies that you just HAVE to watch at Christmas time? Or what do you like? My favorites are:

White Christmas
It's a Wonderful Life
The Grinch (with Jim Carrey)
The Christmas Story

White Christmas
It's A Wonderful Life- I liked this more when I was younger. I see it now and it's kinda like Jimmy Stuart was acting too hard..Over-acting, really.
Elf

Here's a Christmas suggestion. I saw this about a year ago and I just checked and it's on American television again Friday night, December 17 at 8:00pm eastern time on one of the three major networks, i think NBC. (But I cannot recommend viewing it or any movie with commercial interruptions.)

Secret Santa (2003) (Made-for-TV)

Unexpected Absolutely Delightful Treat!

Each year at Christmas in the humble hamlet of Hamden, Indiana a Secret Santa anonymously gives a gift of great monetary and personal value to someone in need. Each year the `big city' Indianapolis newspaper runs a story but never until now did they send a reporter to cover the story up close and personal. This year Rebecca the fluff reporter, played by Jennie Garth, is sent by her Editor to get the job done. When she arrives she's eager to discover who is the man or woman behind the gift giving. The writing, directing and acting from start to finish is very good bringing out a nice amount of humor and is also able to touch the soul with deep emotion. Less than a half hour into Secret Santa I had some tears in my eyes and that continued with more touching moments now and again throughout. The cast is magnificently charming with Jennie Garth, Barbara Billingsley and Charlie Robinson shining bright. The story isn't preachy by any means, not terribly predictable and in fact is quite a nice little mystery up until near the very end. What's a shame about this, in a way, is that it will only be shown in December because it's a Christmas movie. Secret Santa should be shown at any time during the year because the message of selfless giving is one that everyone can benefit from not only at Christmastime. Including those that are Made-for-TV there are a LOT of Christmas movies. I haven't seen them all but I've seen a majority and automatically with just one viewing this has got to be one of my three or four very favorite. It's not the best movie ever made by any means but I would most definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone any month at all. This is a rare Christmas gem. My grade for this WONDERFUL movie: A!


(Sorry, this post has nothing to do with "The Box Office" because it never appeared in theaters but it is a movie.)
