After that there are a series of fun-looking shorts, so you may want to set your recorder to run long.

1:45 PM The Thing from Another World The best sci-fi monster movie ever? Certainly a contender.

9:15 AM Shop Around the Corner James Stewart and Margaret Sullivan are hostile co-workers who don’t realize they are each other’s romantic pen pal. Great supporting cast includes Frank Morgan (the Wizard in The Wizard of Oz) and Joseph Schildkraut. Great holiday movie.
11:00 The Bishop’s Wife Angel Cary Grant comes down to help Bishop David Niven, and comes dangerously close to falling for Niven’s wife. One of my ten favorite Christmas movies.
