Popular Brit Book Delivers An Exciting Alternative Christmas

Fans of Discworld, a series of darkly funny fantasy novels for young adults and older will already know (and likely adore) Hogfather (2006), a 3-hourish TV movie from Britain that presents an alternate view of Christmas. For little rental risk people who aren’t familiar with the books will likely enjoy it as well. In this book from the immensely popular novels by Sir Terry Pratchett (he was Britain’s best-selling writer until J. K. Rowling came along), Hogswatch is a darker version of Christmas, with death wearing a Santa suit and all. It touches on most of the great issues of life, but in that bleakly comic way the Brits are so good at. No end of credit for the enjoyment delivered by this movie is owed to a cast of hugely talented actors, including David Jason, Ian Richardson, Neil Pearson, David Warner and Marc Warren. This film provides some fantasy and comedy.

From A Family Christmas To A World Of Gripping Secrets

Before it turns into one of the most compelling thrillers in years, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009) features some pleasant scenes of a Swedish family Christmas. But just as the embattled business journalist at the heart of the story is about to enjoy his holiday dinner, fate calls (literally) and pulls him into a mystery that takes months to expose the many secrets spread across several decades. The key conundrum won’t be hard for mystery freaks to figure out, but the journey to the final conclusion includes some very remarkable twists and turns. Hollywood is preparing a version of the first of an astonishingly successful trio of novels featuring this journalist and the title character, a young woman with prodigious technical skills, a calculating mind and an iron will, but this one is likely going to be much closer to the book. The good news is that much of the boring stuff from the over-hyped novel has been left out, but the general tone and temperament maintained. In Swedish with English subtitles, this movie is one of the most original and forceful films with a Christmas angle to come along in some time. This film has sub-titles and is a great Christmas Thriller.

Wartime Christmas Romance Brings Back Terror Of The Time

The thing about romance in movies from the early 1940s that we tend to forget is how great the chances were that one or both of the participants could die at any moment because of WWII, but if you keep that in mind while watching I’ll Be Seeing You (1944) it should help you enjoy it more. This tender and understated film follows the fate of a pair of people (Ginger Rogers and Joseph Cotton) who have suffered some serious emotional blows in the preceding years and are struggling to get better. They meet on a train just before Christmas and spend the few days they have together trying to find a way to become a couple, though in an utterly PG fashion that seems hard to imagine today. They have their problems and people are kind and mostly understanding, but this was a much more judgmental time. This is an old school romance of the type they don’t make any more and never will again. Along with the appealing leads is a strong supporting cast, featuring Shirley Temple, Spring Byington, Tom Tully and Chill Wills. On top of all that, I’ll Be Seeing You was easily the most compelling song of WWII. It spoke to the long separations that most people suffered and the distinct possibility that the parting could become permanent at any moment.

Christmas Can Be Tough When Your Family And Spouse Fight

Being married to someone the rest of your family doesn’t like is probably a fairly common theme in life as well as in the movies, but it has a special significance at Christmas, and that’s what happens in Once Around (1991). Holly Hunter belongs to one of those big, crazy families that would be enough for a good movie on its own, but when she marries Richard Dreyfuss the complexity of the familial relationships are multiplied. Not only is he much older than she is, he’s too exuberant and forthcoming to suit her parents (Danny Aiello and Gena Rowlands), but particularly her father, who has recently retired and is confused about his new life. Dreyfuss is a super-salesman who tries to help (he’s big-hearted and good-natured), but his efforts often cause grief and result in unintended consequences. The stresses from this ultimately affect everyone in the family, at weddings and so on, but most memorably at the Christmas celebrations that close the film. The reasons for this aren’t as simple as you see in most movies, but that’s what makes this film interesting, and ultimately understandings are reached. This Romantic Christmas film is totally PG and provides some very Special Christmas Moments.

Ship-Board Romance Ends Much Better Because Of Christmas

What happens in An Affair To Remember (1957) would be wonderfully romantic at any time of the year, but the amount of tears and bubbling are significantly increased because the climax comes at Christmas. A mature couple (Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr) meet on a boat crossing the Atlantic from England to America and in the course of time fall in love. They discuss what this will mean to their lives (they’re both involved with other people) as the boat approaches New York and agree to take time to think things over and, if they haven’t changed their minds, meet at the Empire State Building at a specific date and time. One of them doesn’t show up and the other takes that to mean the other party wasn’t interested, but then fate throws them together at Christmas and the truth about what happened comes out. This movie has been rightfully popular for a long time, and it got a significant boost when it played a clever role in Sleepless In Seattle, which coincidentally involves Christmas at the start of its story. These films make a wonderful holiday double-feature, but watch Affair first. This Romantic Classic is also a Favorite with the authors.
