The Shop Around the Corner (1940)

It's another great Jimmy Stewart holiday classic, this film is not as well known as It's a wonderful life, but hollywood remade this classic movie that most of you probably have heard of "You've got Mail" in this original version the two main characters exchange snail mail, as email was not yet invented. I recommend checking out this charming original version! "Two employees at a gift shop can barely stand one another, without realizing that they're falling in love through the post as each other's anonymous pen pal".

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

So it's a Jimmy Stewart kind of day! Two great christmas movie posts coming your way. The first is a favorite for many and if you have never seen this you are missing out on one of the best christmas stories ever this is a heart warming movie that will fill you with the christmas spirit! "It's a wonderful film. Frank Capra's inverted take on A Christmas Carol stars Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey, a good man who's spent a lifetime giving up on his dreams in order to keep life in his small town humming. When a guardian angel named Clarence finds a despondent George poised to jump off a bridge, he shows George what life would've been like had he never been born."

WHITE CHRISTMAS (1954)

It's been a while since I recommended any classic movies and I figured well since it's Christmas what better time to recommend some good classics! Over the next few days I'll be sharing some of my all time favorite classic Christmas movies. Starting with my vote for #1, none other than White Christmas! In this musical "Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye play war buddies turned entertainers who fall for a pair of sisters (Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen). The boys follow the girls to a resort, which is owned by their former commanding officer, and he's in danger of losing the place. What better reason to stage a show than to keep the resort out of hock?"

Enjoy this one!
