Santa Claus on the Big Screen

Boy, do we have Santa and Christmas covered when it comes to the big screen (actually the big screen has been shrunk for your tv screen)--from old classics, to some relatively new films.



I'll start with my favorite, Elf [DVD ELF] starring Will Farrell. I resisted seeing this one for a long time because I'm not a big Will Farrell fan, but once I watched it, I was hooked! Farrell is appropriately clueless as the human who is raised as an elf in the North Pole. The soundtrack for the film is one of my favorite Christmas CDs [CD SOUNDTRACK ELF]--"Santa Claus's Party," is running through my head right now!

I guess I'm a sucker for Christmas movies, because I also like The Santa Clause [VIDEO SAN], and that one's about as cornball as you can get!

We must own every film version of the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol [DVD CHR, VIDEO CHR, or DVD SCR], including the Mr. Magoo [J DVD MRM] and Muppet [J DVD MUP, J VIDEO MUP] versions.

Don't forget to look for Miracle on 34th Street [DVD MIR] starring a very young Natalie Wood.

We have plenty more holiday films for you to borrow--come down and browse our shelves!
