Five favorite Christmas-type movies not really classified as Christmas movies

Lady and the Tramp

The movie begins with Lady as a Christmas present.  The movie ends at Christmas-time.  In between is light-hearted fun, conflict and misunderstanding, and then a happy ending.  What a great family movie to watch over the holidays.



 


Little Women

It has snow!  It shows Christmas scenes, parties, and presents.  There is light-hearted fun, conflict and misunderstanding, some sadness with resolve, and then a warm ending.  Another great family movie to watch over the holidays.


Young at Heart
A happy family until Sinatra shows up and adds some tragedy.  Lessons learned.  Christmas scenes.









Falling in Love

It begins with Christmas and ends with Christmas.  One of the few movies where I actually like DeNiro.  Streep is good in this part.



You've Got Mail
Christmas scenes, cute, humorous, satisfying ending.
