Modern Classics

Christmas many of us look forward to it, and some of us loathe it. This year for many is going to be a tough one, but it isn't about what is under the Christmas tree , it is about what comes from your heart. This year can be a time to reflect and be thankful for what you still have and to share a movie or two or three with friends and family. So invite some friends over, decorate the Christmas tree and enjoy a few modern movies that will touch your heart and remind you of what Christmas is really about. I also wish to thank "MADBRK who is one of my many wonderful fans for inspiring me , to create another hub on modern Christmas movies. If you also have favorites please add them to the list as the meaning of Christmas is also about sharing spread the true joy of christmas.


The Christmas Card

The setting of this movie takes place in the midst of the Afghanistan war as Cody Cullen recieves a card and is touched by the person who sent it from the picturesque town of Nevada City , Californiia. As the months pass in Afghanistan the card never leaves his side and gives him the strength to set out on a mission once he arrives back into the U.S. to find her. Suspenseful and romantic if you still believe in magic this one is for you.

Holiday in Handcuffs

(Melissa Joan Hart) plays a stressed out waitress who kidnaps a guy (Mario Lopez) because she does not want to go home alone. She asks him to pose as her boyfriend. Although he makes several attempts to escape he deicides to wait until the cops come , but ultimately decides that he .....

Romantic Comedy with twists and turns I loved it and never laughed so hard!!!

Santa Clause 3 the escape clause

Most of us have seen Santa Clause 1 and 2 however Santa Clause 3 is an extra delight as Mrs. Clause is ready to give birth and wants family time and santa's production lags behind. Jack Frost is on probation and Santa tries to support his wife by bringing her family to the North Pole and the fun begins. Adventureous and magical this a comedy that will be a classic for a long time so dust it off and pop it in as Santa Clause is coming to town.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas starring Jim Carrey

" Your a mean one Mr. Grinch", it is amazing how we as children all remember the Grinch, and the remake is just as spectacular as Jim Carrey brought him to life on the big screen. Children of all ages look always look forward to this modern day classic so snuggle up and get cozy as this is one will remind you of what the true meaning of Christmas is.Pop a little popcorn or eat a bowl of pretzels and enjoy!!!

BDazzler, I certainly do as they are timeless and they are also animated

A King is Born: 3 Wisemen travel to the star pointing them to the newborn king.

The Very First Noel: Animated and based on the birth of Jesus as it gives you a clear understanding of te Bible and children love it.

The Little Drummer Boy: An original classic I believe it was written in 1966 it is also animated and speaks about the birth of Jesus.

The Ten Commandments original: I love this all time classic and every Christmas eve we pop this one in , to remind us of what God has chosen us to do.

All wonderful and spiritual.:)

madbrk: Thank you for indpiring me as I was happy to list a few and there are many more. :)

AE,

Thank you for this list. Not being so young, I think I will go with the list in your previous response.  Although "Christmas Card" sounds really good.

Thank you. ~ eddie

Chuck, It is a beautful romance and if you can catch this on HallMark or one of your stations, " Christmas Shoes is a tear jerker but it is certainly another great one to watch this season.:)

'Serendipity' is my wife's favorite Christmas movie- she loves that flick. John Cusack and Kate Beckinsdale.---

Mine has to be 'Bad Santa'....as far as modern.....

We will rent 'The Christmas Card' -- sounds great....

Great idea for a hub and well-done-thanks!
