The Lion In Winter
Henry II is at Christmas at Chignon with Elinor of Aquataine (to whom my wife is related) and his boys, Richard, Geoffrey, and John. Henry's time is running out and he must establish his successor now that his first son, Henry, is dead.
Terrific movie. Brilliant. How this lost to Oliver! for Best Pic in '68 is beyond me.
The dialog is sheer poetry. I've watched it both times it was aired, sans commercials, this past weekend.
A Christmas Story
Ralphie and his Red Rider BB Gun with a stock and a compass and a thing that tells time.
It's A Wonderful Life
George Bailey, The Everyman. The Everyman can make a difference.
