Christmas Movies 2022 (Part 9)
It's A Wonderful Life
One of the all time classics which surprisingly didn't initially perform well at the US box office but found its way into the hearts and souls of the people through television. James Stewart is perfection in the movie and Lionel Barrymore was spectacular as the two actors played opposing forces in this small American town.

Jingle All The Way
A first time watch for me as it never appealed but I gave it a go and while it is stupid and very much a 90's flick there are plenty of laughs to be had even if this is well below what Arnold is capable of. Oh and young Jake Lord can actually act, who knew.
The Long Kiss Goodnight
Geena Davis plays a run of the mill suburban wife and mother but with no memory of her past prior to eight years previously. A car accident initiates the slow trickle of her past which brings forth secret agents, assassins and a lowly PI (Samuel L. Jackson) who provides some clues to who she really is.
Donovan's Reef
A John Wayne christmas movie you say, yes indeed this comedy is set in December and the story is told through to christmas day. A romcom with a surprising cast and some dated (but not terribly so) ideas about class and status and the complexities of romance.
