On of my favorite parts of the Christmas season is that Hollywood releases a bunch of good movies this time of year. What with the Holiday schedule there is lots of time and opportunities to take in a good movie with the whole family. This year both of our adult children will be home and we will probably see several movies together. There is nothing like spending Christmas Day afternoon and New Years Eve at the local cineplex with the family and a good movie. This year the movies I would like to see in the order of priority are:
1. The Good Shepherd...... a semi fictional story of the early days of the CIA based at least in part on fact.
2.Dream Girls..... a semi fictional story about Diana Ross and the Supremes.
3.The Queen...... about Queen Elisabeth and Prime Minster Tony Blair and how they deal with the death of Princess Diana.
4.We Are Marshall....about the death of a college football team in an airplane crash and the rebuilding of the team . (get my football Fix)
5.The Holiday.... a chick flick about two women who trade homes in England and California and find love.
Sorry Mel, Apocalypto is not on my list. I am sure I will watch it as some point maybe on DVD
I have already seen Bobby and Casino Royale (James Bond) and recommend both.
Of course my favorite all time Christmas movie is "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart. "White Christmas" with Bing Crosby is a family favorite and I love Chevy Chase in National Lampoons "Christmas Vacation." There is so much in that movie that reminds me of me and our extended family from Christmases past. All are part of my DVD library.
