So if you've read any of my previous blogs, you might guess that the
following list may go a little against the traditional grain. I have
never seen Miracle On 34th Street or It's A Wonderful Life. Truthfully, I don't care to. Here are the 5 movies that really light up my tree during the holidays!
1. A Christmas Story
: This is my all time favorite! The time period, the camaraderie of the
kids, the parents, and the mid west. I guess it makes me think of my
dad.
2. The Ref : This movie has an amazing cast!
Kevin Spacey, Denis Leary, and Judy Davis. Denis Leary is crazy funny
and, as always, the message is not lost.
3. Home for the Holidays
: Another amazing cast. Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr., Claire Danes,
Charles Durning, Ann Bancroft, Dylan McDermott, and Geraldine Chaplin as
the crazy aunt. You can't go wrong when Holly Hunter, upon entering
her parents home, is greeted by the cat coughing up a fur ball!
4. Bad Santa : Billy Bob Thornton plays Santa. Need I say more?
5. Elf : I love Buddy but more than anything else I love Zooey DesChanel singing Baby It's Cold Outside in the shower!
There it is!
Cheers to creating new traditions!
