Christmas movies that you might have overlooked
I watch more movies over the Christmas break than normal. Here are my nominees for your viewing pleasure:
1. Die Hard - Starring Bruce Willis and set in California on Christmas eve. Need I say more. Wrong will fail and right prevail. Yippee kayee. . .
2. Die Harder - The second Die Hard was set in Washington D.C. at Christmastime.
3. Lethal Weapon - Mel Gibson and Danny Glover get the bad guys. . .at Christmas. What a greeting card.
4. Ghost Story - Yes, the book is better but the movie stars John Houseman, Fred Astaire and Melvyn Douglas and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. I own a copy and enjoy it several times a year.
5. Storm of the Century - a miniseries based on Stephen King's book. Lots of snow and scariness. Also, Dreamcatcher is at least set in the winter.
6. Diner - I featured one of my favorite clips from the movie last week. It is also set at Christmas.
7. Patton - Several scenes are set around the holidays and I love to watch George C. Scott wonder if Ike got those two turkeys he sent.
8. Young Sherlock Holmes - London, winter, a young Holmes and young Watson. Steven Spielberg did a great job on this prequel.
Enjoy.
