I saw Frank Capra’s “It’s A Wonderful Life” two years ago.

“Whaaaaat? You never saw…”

That’s what I freaking said. I somehow managed not to see the movie until Christmas-time, 2021.

I probably watched it 4-5 times that season, and a couple more last year and this.

But I wasn’t aware that there was another ending…:

Speaking of movies – it’s become clear in recent years that the only thing needed to call a film a “Chrismas Movie” is any intersection with Christmas of any kind, no matter how tangential.

So with that in mind, here is the list of the top 12 “Chrfistmas Movies”:

1. Die Hard
2. Alexander Nevsky
3. Lethal Weapon 1
4. Patton
5. Goodfellas
6. Full Metal Jacket
7. Carrie
8. Better Off Dead
9. Stalag 17
10. Rocky IV
11. The Rev
12. Trading Places.

But whatever you think is really a Christmas movie, I wish you and yours a happy one.
