Favorite Holiday Flicks

[semiotic_pirate]

I was looking around the internets to find more holiday film goodness to put on the Netflix lists. I found many that I had totall6y forgotten in addition to all the yearly traditionals that are aired on television.

One film in particular I had been wracking my brain to remember the name of... all I could remember was that it was somewhere in the Scandanavian countries and had some skates in it. In a stroke of luck I googled Holland+Skates+movie and ended up having the entire first page dedicated to the film and the book it was based upon. Go figure.

The film in question is Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates. Technically it may not qualify as a christmas film, I do not recall if it just occurs during the winter. However, I do remember feeling the holiday goodness & cheer while watching it, which may be the Disney Effect.



Anyone else remember this classic?

What are your favorite holiday films?

I definitely didn't see it on it's first airing... :D I was old enough to remember it so it would have to have been in the eighties at some point that they re-aired it. I'm hoping it is as good as I remember it being. Heh.
