Movies part of season
By Christopher Blair
Emerald News Editor
Whether they use Christ
mas as merely a setting or as
their reason tor being several
movies have become an inte
gral part of the holiday sea
son
Most tilm critics either give
it four stars or have it on their
ten greatest movies of all
time lists Frank Kapra's
1946 classic It's a Wonderful
Life, starring Jimmy Stewart
Donna Reed and Lionel Barry
more
Most of the movie does take
place at Christmas, but the
movie's what it I hadn't been
born?' romp at the end is a
fascinating bit of storytelling,
and the ending is enough to
put even a satanist in the holi
day spirit
One of the few Christmas
movies that is as good as It's
a Wonderful Life - and prob
ably the only one that gets
played more often between
Thanksgiving and the end of
December is Miracle on
.lath Street starring Maureen
O'Hara. an eight-year old Nat
alie Wood, and Edmund Gwen
as Santa Claus
For literature buffs any of
the- ten or so movies based on
Charles Dickens holiday
ghost story A Christmas Carol
n
should be ,i staple of holiday
video rental Two. one made
in 1938 and the other in 1951
with Alastair Simm in the title
role, are regarded by many as
the best
Another classic is The Bish
op s Wile (194 7). starring Cary
Grant as a angel who helps
Loretta Young and David Niv
en raise money to build a new
church
A newei movie 1983's A
Christmas Story, is a hilarious
look at the splashy, some
times tacky, holiday Christ
mas has become The nostal
gic Norman Rockwell-esque
look at the holiday can be de
fined as a family film, but that
doesn't keep it from being
funny
Every year, the airwaves are
swamped with an annoying
assortment of kiddie Christ
mas cartoons Only one. Dr
Seuss How the Grmch Stole
Christmas, is worth the time
of kids over the age of 18
The dastardly Grmch, star
ring the voice of Boris Karloff,
is the ultimate Scrooge and
the real meaning of Christ
mas message at the end is
pleasant without being syr
upy
All of these films are cur
rently on heavy rotation on
television, especially on ca
ble If not they are available
at your local video store.
