Classic Christmas Memory Movies
Christmas is a time for memories. What better way to create
lasting ones than to gather the whole family around to watch
some great classic Christmas movies?
Many movies come to mind, but following are the three considered
by many to be the best.
1)It's A Wonderful Life(1946): James(Jimmy) Stewart,
Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore
George Bailey(Jimmy
Stewart) is considering ending it all to escape all the problems
in his life--on Christmas! Just as he is about to jump off a
bridge, he's interrupted by Clarence, his guardian angel(Henry
Travers). To convince George not to go through with it, Clarence
shows him what life would be like without him.
Did you
just hear that bell ring? An angel just got his wings.
2)Miracle On 34th Street(1947): Edmund Gwenn, Maureen
O'Hara, John Payne, Gene Lockhart, Natalie Wood
When
nice, old Kris Kringle(Edmund Gwenn) claims to be the real Santa
and is put in an insane asylum, Fred Gailey(John Payne) decides
to represent him in court. In a hearing that tests the people's
beliefs, Kris is found to be the real Santa.
Yes, Susan(Natalie Wood), there is a Santa Claus.
3)Scrooge(1951): Alastair Sim, Mervyn Jones, Michael
Hordern
Everybody knows the story of Ebenezer Scrooge.
But, even with all the different versions of "A Christmas
Carol," over the years, none have given a better performance
than Alastair Sim. It's as if he was born to play the stingy,
hard-hearted Scrooge. Sim is the embodiment of what Charles
Dickens had in mind.
I think I'll go buy the biggest goose in all of London.
Now go rent these three all-time classic Christmas movies, make
some hot chocolate, gather the family around the TV and start
making some classic Christmas movie memories.
