I never considered this a "Christmas movie" but the plot does take place at Christmas time, and it ranks right up there with one of my all-time favorite movies, so I'll have to add While You Were Sleeping to my list!

Does anyone remember Family Man with Nicholas Cage? This is a Christmas Movie and it is very interesting to day the least.

WoW! I just purchased Holiday Affair with Robert Mitchum, Janet Leigh, and Wendell Corey. This movie was released in 1949. If you like Mitchum then you'll like this movie. It is really a good movie.
The plot of the movie:
Just before Christmas, department store clerk Steve Mason (Mitchum) meets big spending customer Connie Ennis (Leigh), really a commercial spy. He unmasks her but lets her go, which gets him fired. They end up on a date, which doesn't sit well with Connie's steady suitor, Carl Davis (Corey), but delights her son Timmy (Grodon Gebert), who doesn't want Carl for a step-dad. Standard (if sweet) romantic complications follow.

Thanks for the information Mike, I've also copied your post to
Pals Of The Saddle- Robert Mitchum
as it fits in there nicely.
Glad to be of assistance, Keith. Hope you get a chance to see the movie. It is a good movie for its time.
Cheers Hondo
Time to this thread, too . . .
Our family has a 'tradition' to hold off on the Christmas movies and music until after Thanksgiving. Just because the stores have all that stuff out before Halloween, doesn't mean we have to do it that way.
Anyway, we'll be unpacking the Christmas movies Friday . . . can hardly wait!

Since I am unsure if I posted here already or not (And too lazy to check) I will list my favorite Christmas movies.
The Santa Clause
Jingle All The Way
How The Grinch Stole Christmas (Live-Action)
My favourite Christmas movie is "While you where sleeping". But I also like the Santa Clause films.
my favorite christmas movies are
The Santa Clause
Family Man
Elf
White Christmas
and of course It's a Wonderful Life
A Christmas movie I enjoy that may interest some of you is Beyond Tomorrow from 1940. It has Harry Carey Sr, and C Aubrey Smith to name a few.
Our family has a new favorite, which we discovered last year - The Christmas Card, with Ed Asner. Touching, funny, romantic - an all-around good movie. We watched it again last night, along with The Santa Clause (the first one).
Sally, While You Were Sleeping is another favorite around here, although we watch it all year long! Love that John Wayne reference around the dinner table!
CountryGirl, we also enjoy It's A Wonderful Life every year.
ShortGrub, we haven't heard of Beyond Tomorrow, but will keep an eye out for it. Thanks for letting us know about it!

Every version on the Christmas Carol.
Santa Claus the movie with Dudley Moore
I have seen it about 20 times so far in the last 3 weeks my 3 year old Grand daughter LOVES It and surprisingly she loves Tim Burtons nightmare before XMAS
Mine is White Christmas with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Vera Lynn and Rosemary Clooney. Merry Christmas to all. Mike(Exsoldier), Stephanie, Chrystal, Alexander and Taylor

And a Merry Christmas to you and your family, Mike. Thanks for defending freedom.
Another family favorite, which we watched tonight - Miracle on 34th Street, with Maureen O'Hara, of course!!
I like almost all of them
Has anyone seen Four Christmases? Very cute movie and I think a good message. Not one that sits will with me, but seems to be the norm with divorces the way they are.
