Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
       This classic clay-mation rendition is the perfect short study break film.  It does not seem as wonderful and well-done as when we were kids, but it still provides a laugh and a bit of Christmas cheer.  It’s the ideal seasonal underdog story.
Miracle on 34th Street: B&W Version
       It’s been a long time since I’ve believed in Santa Claus, but usually by the end of Miracle on 34th Street, my faith is renewed.  Now perhaps I am just being ridiculous and naïve, but there is something extremely touching about when Santa is able to speak to the little Dutch girl who comes to visit him at Macy’s.

Love Actually
       This is the perfect Christmas movie for those of you who do not feel like watching a full-fledged Christmas movie.  Although it is sad at times, the overall feeling of the movie is happy.  The best part: Hugh Grant dancing around as the prime minister.
It’s A Wonderful Life
       After you finish watching this movie, there will not be a dry eye in the room.  Grant it this movie is sad, and no one wants to feel sad at Christmas time; however, It’s A Wonderful Life is the perfect reminder of what the season of giving is all about.
