The Christmas Story is my personal fav. Jessie used to put it on her VCR every night to fall asleep to! It is a classic!
I also love Miracle on 34th Street and White Christmas. Bing Crosby singing, and the scenery and beautiful outfits are such fun, and bring back great memories. Those were the movies I watched as a little girl.
I never watch heart wrenching movies or TV shows, especially if they have children suffering. I don't know why, but I have never been able to watch suffering, even with happy endings. Jessie used to warn me if she was watching a sad movie about a kid, and I wouldn't go in the room. I couldn't even see Marley and Me, because he died at the end. It is very limiting to be such a sap!
I didn't watch the documentary, Gayle. I remember The Grapes of Wrath though, and it was a fascinating part of history.
