Turner has its usual slate of Christmas movies in Dec. but it also has a number of films and their remakes, including three versions of Showboat (1929, 1936, 1951). My favorites for Christmas are Minnelli's Meet Me in St. Louis, 1944 on the 24th, Going My Way, also 1944 on the 22nd and Lubitsch's The Shop Around the Corner, 1940, on Dec. 1.
Dec. 3 has Lubitsch's To Be or Not to Be,1942
On Dec. 6 is Sam Peckinpah's gritty Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia 1974
On Dec. 8 is John Ford's beautiful Three Godfathers and on Dec. 9 is Ford's Mogambo 1953
On Dec. 9 is the Preston Sturges/Mitch Leisen Remember the Night 1940.(see my post of Jan 3 of this year) and two versions of Imitation of Life, Douglas Sirk's from 1959 and John Stahl's from 1934.
On Dec. 26 is Ford's Young Mr. Lincoln, 1939 and on the 27th is Sirk's All That Heaven Allows.
