And for some reason -- I know, it's weird and probably wrong on many levels -- I always watch The Godfather I and II this time of year. I don't know why.

And for some reason -- I know, it's weird and probably wrong on many levels -- I always watch The Godfather I and II this time of year. I don't know why.

Because at this festive time of the year, it's nice to know that you're going to take care of Barsini, Tattaglia and all the heads of the Five Families...

...and your brother Fredo...

For me, nothing so far can match the old-time, zany chaos (and arch scripting) of Christmas in Connecticut. {And of course I mean the original, from 1944, with Barb Stanwyck, not that wretched 90's remake with Kristofferson & Cannon.}
The dialogue from supporting role actors like Sydney Greenstreet, S. Z. Sakall & Una O'Connor by themselves is worth the time & attention, and besides, if you never see this war-time pearl, you'll never get wise to "the ol' magoo"!

I'm with Panache in liking the Patrick Stewart version of "A Christmas Carol". It's a great modern version that adhere's to the original story very well. Patrick Stewart makes a great Scrooge as well. I like the 1951 Alastair Sims version too, but modern filmaking technology (and the fact that I'm a Star Trek TNG fan) put the newer version higher on my list.

Also on my list are several previously mentioned films and a couple not mentioned...

"National Lampoons Christmas Vacation"

"A Christmas Story"

"It's a Wonderful Life"

"Scrooged"

"A Charlie Brown Christmas"

"Elf"

"Home Alone"
