Oh I love Christmas!
The books! The music! And, of course, the movies … well, the more idiosyncratic ones, anyway.
Such as these three gems which are hopefully going to stoke the festive fires, make us feel better about the world around us, and give us that warm Christmassy inner glow that makes the season so wonderful.
Peace, goodwill and movies? Yes, please …
