Like Christmas dinner at Grandma's, this weekend's cinematic lineup has more to offer than you can possibly consume (well, you could try). Eight films open today, with five more coming on Christmas Day. And it's a pretty wide assortment: we've got comedy (Walk Hard, B); romance (P.S. I Love You, C); dysfunctional family drama (The Savages, B); adventure for the whole family (National Treasure: Book of Secrets, C); a comically serious history (Charlie Wilson's War, B); a Byzantine mine field (Youth Without Youth, D); a musical gore fest (Sweeney Todd, B+); and Blonde Ambition. But if none of those hit your holiday sweet spot, head over to the Angelikas (Dallas or Plano) Sunday-Tuesday for a stroll down memory lane with screenings of It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. Which leads us to the question du jour: What's your favorite, tried and true holiday movie? |

Of course everyone will pick the old reliables of 'A Christmas Story' and 'It's a Wonderful Life,' but for my family and me, nothing tops 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.' And, even though it's not an actual movie, we also have to watch an old recording of the play 'A Tuna Christmas.'

Well, yeah, my favorite is "A Christmas Story." I can't even sit through "It's a Wonderful Life." (Love the Chevy Chase "National Lampoon" movies, though.)
