I love the tale of 80's corporate greed, and Carol Caine is one of my favorite Caroles of all time. My favorite Holiday movie of all time has to be Scrooged.

It's sweet, a bit melancholy and incredibly funny. For contemporary Christmas flicks it is hands-down "Millions" directed by Danny Boyle --yes, Trainspotting Danny Boyle-- it's the story of a very young boy in the North of England whose mother died and who has developed a taste for hagiography (the study of saints) when he find a bag of money by the train tracks, he thinks it's from God and sets about trying to do good with it. Of course it's wickedly funny and more than a little dark, but it's visually gorgeous and quirky and has a surprise surreal twist that I worship and adore.

I have a ridiculous love for Holiday Inn. Even the horrible black face routine fails to ruin the movie for me. And how can you not love the movie that introduced us to "White Christmas"? Squint, lest my beauty blind you.

I have a ridiculous love for Holiday Inn. Even the horrible black face routine fails to ruin the movie for me.

And how can you not love the movie that introduced us to “White Christmas”?

Also The Family Stone. My very absolute favorite of all time, though, is Meet Me in St. Louis. The Holiday with Kate Winslet and Jack Black has become a favorite. Also The Family Stone.
