Unearthed
By Mitch Berg
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”:
- Die Hard
- Alexander Nevsky
- Lethal Weapon 1
- Patton
- Goodfellas
- Full Metal Jacket
- Carrie
- Better Off Dead
- Stalag 17
- Rocky IV
- The Rev
- Trading Places.
But whatever you think is really a Christmas movie, I wish you and yours a happy one.
