Classic Christmas Movies
Films tender, touching, funny, bright movies, classic movies. Ideal films in the spirit of Christmas, which we have seen many times and we want to see them again and again on these festive days.
The most classic arguably Christmas movie is the It’s a Wonderful Life /A Wonderful Life (1964), directed by
Frank Capra
and starring
James Stewart.
The hero he plays is a man who wants to end his life, until a guardian angel appears that makes him realize that life is not in vain. This Christmas story it is always at the top of films of the genre.
Scrooge / Scrooge
or A Christmas Carol
(1951) is a film adaptation of the novel
A Christmas Story
by Charles Dickens, directed by
Brian Desmond Hartz
. A crappy man, who considers Christmas a fraud, receives on Christmas Eve the visit of three spirits who show him his mistakes and... The novel has undergone many adaptations, but this one, starring
Alaster Sim
, remains at the top.
Another film that has become a myth, identified with the holidays, is the Christmas story, produced in 1983,
A Christmas Story
, directed by
Bob Clark
. It's the story of a little boy,
Ralphie Parker
, who would like to grow up in the '40s, to become cowboy and have a gun. Its goal is to convince people that this is the perfect gift. But he will be confronted with everyone, even Santa Claus. Wonderful film filled with the glow of the Christmas Dream.
