 | It's a Wonderful Life (60th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $12.25 One of my favorite 3 all-time movies. So
maybe I'm not such a humbug after all!
Best to see or buy the unchopped DVD, since it sometimes gets cropped for TV.

![Inside Moves [VHS]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51X1SK14B8L._SL75_.jpg) | Inside Moves [VHS]
Buy used from: $2.25 A gem you may have missed. One of my fave
films of the past 30 years. Don't let the depressing opening fool you. A very uplifting movie. Love the Christmas party!
|
 | Die Hard
Buy new: $5.49 / Used from: $1.73 Another of my favorites of the past 30 years. Set at Christmas, it abounds with Christmas cheer(eventually!)
|
 | A Christmas Carol (Ultimate Collector's Edition)(B/W & Color)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $12.82 Still the best film version of the Dickens classic, and maybe except for
my top choice, probably moviedom's most powerful dose of the Christmas spirit.
|
 | A Charlie Brown Christmas (Remastered Deluxe Edition)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $10.99 Probably on TV every year. The soundtrack was once voted by a panel of music critics as one of the top 5 Christmas
albums. Have to agree. I've treasured it since I was a kid.
|
 | Young at Heart
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $6.96 Well, it ENDS at Christmas time! My favorite Sinatra role. Love his scenes with Ethel Barrymore.
|
 | The Thin Man (Keepcase)
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $3.09 A comedy/detective movie set at Christmas time. First in the beloved series. Witty, sometimes risque, banter between sleuth
Nick Charles and his wife Nora.
|
 | Desk Set
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $5.52 My favorite of the Hepburn-Tracy movies.
Set at Christmas time.
|
 | Lady and the Tramp (50th Anniversary Edition)
Buy used from: $14.99 Clutching at straws here maybe, but the
movie begins and ends at Christmas. One of my favorite love stories and one of the few animated films I can get through.
|
 | The Bishop's Wife
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $5.78 A Christmas favorite of many.
|
 | The Preacher's Wife
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $7.51 A decent re-make of the Bishop's Wife.
A terrific recording of JESUS LOVES ME
was done by Whitney Houston but deleted(I
think) from the soundtrack. The single is
available along with I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.
|
 | National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (Special Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $8.56 Fun with the Griswalds!!!
|
 | Going My Way (Universal Cinema Classics)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.98 A perennial Christmas classic. Won Best Picture Oscar in 1944. Oscars for Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald.
|
 | The Bells of St. Mary's
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $11.00 Sequel to GOING MY WAY.
|
| The Nativity Story
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.00 I confess I haven't seen it but it got good reviews and of course it depicts the origin of Christmas in all of its
importance.
|
 | Home Alone
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $8.99 Can't leave this one out, though I only saw portions of it and its two sequels. Simple fun, of course.
