Plenty of Christmas movies; my favorites are Vincente Minnelli's Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), which has Judy Garland singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" (written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane) on Dec.1, Ernst Lubitsch's wonderful The Shop Around the Corner (1940) on Dec. 2, John Ford's The Three Godfathers (1946) on the 15th and Remember the Night (1940), written by Preston Sturges and directed by Mitchell Leisen, on Dec. 20.
Other movies in Dec. include:
Chantal Ackerman's intensely minimalist Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce 1080 Bruxelles (1977) on Dec. 2 (I commented on this film July 7, 2014)
Jacques Tourneur's great film noir Out of the Past (1947)
John Ford's Stagecoach (1939) on Dec. 11.
Joseph Losey's The Prowler (1951) on Dec. 13
John Huston's The Asphalt Jungle(1950) and Raoul Walsh's High Sierra (1941) on Dec. 17
Preston Sturges's Christmas in July (1940) on Dec. 20
