My favorite Christmas movie right now is Rare Exports, a Finnish movie about a small community of reindeer hunters who have the misfortune to live near the mountain ‘home’ of the real Santa. This movie is a dark comedy and is both subtly and occasionally laugh out loud funny. I love the way that rural people aren’t shown as idiots, like they normally seem to be in movies made for distribution in the US. Also the movie shows a lovely relationship between father and son.
Just to warn you, there are naked old men in Rare Exports. Here is the trailer.
I also wanted to mention the Saint Nick movie. This is a fun horror set in Amsterdam. Saint Nick comes back to terrorize the people of Amsterdam when a full moon falls on December 5th. There is a running joke about the situation hurting the Dutch relationship with Spain, since the local legend says St Nick takes bad children to his castle in Spain.
For my horsey friends, St Nick has a lovely horse.

I have a bunch of favorite Christmas movies. They are in no particular order: “It’s A Wonderful Life”,” Miracle on 34th Street”, (starring a very young Natalie Wood),” White Christmas” with Bing Crosby, “A Christmas Carol” starring Alistair Sims, “Home Alone” 1 & 2, “Die Hard” (I know it’s not an actual Christmas movie, but its set around Christmas time) and the animated version of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. Of course Christmas would not be complete without “A Charlie Brown Christmas”.

I recently read a book about the Camera Corps during WW2 and it went into the making of It's a Wonderful Life.
DeleteMy fav holiday movie is Die Hard. There's action, a tad of romance and an awesome soundtrack with Christmas the perfect background.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

I have an abiding love for European Horror, and my St Nick has both English and Dutch (with subtitles) and that is fun as well.
DeleteI love Christmas Story!
I love A Christmas Carol starring George C. Scott. It is my favorite version of the movie.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome version of the story. I like the Muppet one as well
