What are your favorite - maybe obscure - Holiday Movies to watch during these weeks?

[Nanjeanne]

I'll start:

Remember The Night - with Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck. Fell into this on TCM a number of years ago and always make a point of watching. Written by Preston Sturges. MacMurray plays a lawyer and Barbara Stanwyck a shoplifter that he winds up taking home for the holidays.

It Happened On Fifth Avenue - Also found on TCM a number of years ago. Every winter, Michael J. O'Connor, the second richest man in the world, vacates his 5th Avenue mansion for his winter home in warmer climes. Every winter, Aloysius T. McKeever, a homeless man, and his dog moves into vacated mansions. This particular winter, McKeever meets Jim Bullock, an army veteran who has recently been evicted from his apartment and offers to share the mansion with him. It's not long before the mansion has a few more guests, including two of Jim's army buddies and their wives and children; runaway heiress Trudy Connor; her mother and even Michael J. O'Connor, himself.

Holiday Affair - another TCM find with Robert Mitchum, Janet Leigh and Wendell Corey

Not obscure . . . but we always have to watch Christmas in Connecticut and The Family Stone as well.

Yours?

3. It's a Wonderful Life. A Charlie Brown Christmas. I need to get another Charlie Brown disk ...

... the owners of C Brown have gone full Disney on us and are being stingy with public showings at least for the last two or three years.

4. Night Of The Comet

Zombies and Christmas, a perfect mix.

[Chainfire]

5. It is not really a Christmas movie, but when I was a kid, they always ran it, free of commercials,

in the Christmas season so I associate it with Christmas. The Wizard of Oz. As a child, I do not remember seeing Its a Wonderful Life, or any of the other Christmas classics.

So I am curious, was the Wizard of Oz Christmas season showing national or local? (late 50s and 60s.)

6. "Home For Christmas" on Netflix.

A tv series version of a Hallmark Christmas film, except that it's quite bawdy. If you don't mind subtitles it's funny, and it's dirty enough that Hallmark wouldn't touch it. https://www.netflix.com/title/81083590

9. Mr. Magoo;s version of the Christmas Carol

[State the Obvious]

10. Christmas Proposal ( not about marriage)

This is a 2021 CBS Holiday Movie (also shown last year, but so far....not this year.)

It brings the current-day political strategies of misinformation and manipulation into a holiday setting. VERY CLEVER! I completely enjoyed how the story evolved; such a thought-provoking parallel to what we are experiencing today.

It revolves around an Hispanic family (Diaz)....main characters are Julian Diaz (Adam Rodriguez) and Maria (Jessica Comacho). Great story-telling with many twists and turns. Well done!
