Last year I saw a German fairytale. Aschenbrödel because some Germans online said that was their favorite Christmas movie. It's very different from Cinderella, but it does have the shoe. It's all in German though. Oh by the way last year I found the first German version of The Sound of Music. She didn't go to the mountains. In real life and in that movie they went to America.

I always like O. Henry’s Full House from 1952. It has five stories - The Cop and the Anthem, The Clarion Call, The Last Leaf, The Ransom of Red Chief, and The Gift of the Magi.

It was hosted by author John Steinbeck and featured some popular stars of the day - Charles Laughton, Farley Granger, Fred Allen, Anne Baxter, Jeanne Crain, and Marilyn Monroe.

Yes, that was a good movie, like a literary anthology on film.
"What's a confidence man without confidence."

The Alistair Sim Scrooge. The best Scrooge ever.

Christmas Vacation. I can't tell you how many times I've seen it and I still laugh all the way through.
