The only movie where I ever truly liked Jack Black, lol
Dumped and depressed, English rose Iris agrees to swap homes with similarly unlucky in love Californian Amanda for a much-needed break. Iris finds herself in a palatial Hollywood mansion while Amanda navigates the lanes of a picture-perfect English village. Soon enough, both lovelorn ladies bump into local lads perfect for a romantic pick-me-up.
A food writer who has lied about being the perfect housewife must try to cover her deception when her boss and a returning war hero invite themselves to her home for a traditional family Christmas.
So this might be a little early, but since it’s December 1st, I figured, why not?
Today’s Friday Five are my 5 favorite holiday movies.
#5 Charlie Brown Christmas. I’m old enough to remember seeing this the very first time it was ever televised! Lovelovelove!
# 4 The Holiday. The only Jack Black movie I ever saw where I actually liked him!!!
#3 Love, Actually. One of my top 10 movies of all time no matter that it’s Christmas. From the beginning of the opening credits to the final ones, this movie is perfection.
#2 The Family Stone. I love Diane Keaton and she is at her absolute best in this movie about death, dying, and the power of family bonds.
#1 It’s a Wonderful Life. There’s a little George Banks in all of us!!! Again, this Frank Capra movie is perfection from the first reel to the end credits!
Stick around in December – I’m going to do 12 blogs about my favorite 12 movies of the holiday season.
