Christmasize yourself.... a list

For whatever reason I decided to start up a list of movies I would recommend to most people. (Well, I think the reason was that a co-worker asked me what I thought the "my favorite movie of all time" was and rather than avoid answering I spouted out the first movie on this list and, to my surprise, she actually watched the dvd of it I trotted in to work the next day. And liked it.)

I present the list below in the order in which they occurred to me over a period of approximately 15 minutes. . I think you would very likely enjoy one if you plucked it off the list.

BTW -- I was looking at tinear's post a bit further down, and the responses. One thing I must say: it is just wrong to think of tinear as a snob. He has provided a whole bunch of wonderful recommendations over the years. A couple I watched after reading his posts are on this list (which was conjured up before reading the post below).

So here you go. Hope you enjoy something on it:
