Uncommonly Good Hollywood Christmas Film Clips

The first in a series of "Best Scenes from Holiday Movies" -- written by screenwriters who truly understand the meaning of Christmas... ...What? You thought I'd seriously make you watch Jimmy Stewart crying in the snow again? Well, all I have to say to that is... "...Not tonight, Berta. Not tonight."

If you have to spend time at home with family this Christmas, and that doesn't always sound like the easiest thing to do -- and --- If you and your spouse don't always see eye to eye with each other about the kids and your parents, then here's your movie. Dennis Leary and Judy Davis aren't just funny, they're razor sharp-hilarious in this film.   In my personal best movies book, this one is a classic.  But, you do have to have a cynical side to enjoy it.  If you are zen and yoga and light and love, then this probably isn't your kind of flick.   But, if you find family issues as thorny and challenging as I do, then I highly recommend this movie. Let me put it like this, when it came out it made me laugh so much I actually went out to buy a copy. And that was when one bought them as tapes. As in VHS. That was then, this is YouTube.
