“It’s A Wonderful Life”
“A Charlie Brown Christmas”
“The Little Drummer Boy” (haven’t seen it in ages, but it was my favorite as a child)
Also, “Elf” is wonderful. I don’t know how Will Ferrell pulled that out of his usual horrible choices, but Elf was really funny, clean, and although devoid of any Christian message about the reason for the season, quite sweet.
Hate: All the animated “we must save Christmas!” themed movies, there are like 100 of them, each one more banal than the last.
James Caan looks as pained in that film as I feel when watching it. You can almost hear him thinking: "Just keep thinking about the money..."
And any film that casts Ed Asner as Santa... well, that is sufficient cause to condemn it.
