What are those films you're watching for the holidays? These can be annual traditions, or new additions to the roster.
For me, I like choosing films that aren't about Christmas, but instead use it as a background setting.
I'm definitely going to watch The Apartment at some point, because it's one of my all time favorites, and I love that it takes place during Christmastime (and later during New Years). It's oddly fitting that the story of a lonely man, blinded by corporate ambition, would have a Christmas backdrop.
Eyes Wide Shut will also get watched at some point, because Kubrick goes all out with the lighting in this film, and what better holiday is there than Christmastime to play with lighting?
Also, I need to watch something heartwarming, so In Bruges will be my holiday cheer film! Seriously, Christmas is not complete without it.
Last, but not least: I'll also be watching Fanny and Alexander at some point over break, because I watched it for the first time last Christmas break, and I can't imagine having another holiday season without it. It truly is a wonderful film.
