Can’t add much that is original. But then, that’s not what Christmas movies are about. Here’s the films that will be in the mix:
The Cheaters (My personal obscure favorite; stars Eugene Pallette, one of my all time favorite character actors)
Santa Claus (the Mexican favorite)
The Bishop’s Wife
A Christmas Carol (Sims version; I also own the Patrick Stewart TV movie; he’s great, but they REALLY freuded up the story so that we ‘understand’ Scrooge)
Miracle on 34th Street (the real one, of course)
A Charlie Brown Christmas
It’s a Wonderful Life (well, duh)
For those who don’t, as I do, have a personal library of Christmas movies on the shelf, TCM helps with the following schedule (all times Central Standard):
