1925- Charlie Chaplin- Live accompaniment by Robert York on the Mighty Wurlitzer- One of the best movies ever made. The first half hour itself is worth the price of admission, containing some of the funniest scenes you’ll ever see in a movie. The bottom line is that The Gold Rush is still funny after almost a century, and that's a feat few comedies in any year can ever accomplish.

1947- Maureen O'Hara, Natalie Wood- A touching holiday tradition that is a must-see for anyone who doesn't believe Santa Claus is real. During filming then eight-year-old actress Natalie Wood was convinced that actor Edmund Gwenn was actually Santa Claus- until she saw him out of costume at the wrap party. The iconic film is one of the American Film Institute's "Most Inspiring Movies of All Time".

1940- Barbary Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray- Introduction and insights by Film Historian Jeremy Arnold- Touched by the Christmas season, a New York District Attorney (Fred MacMurray) releases a petty shoplifter (Barbara Stanwyck) out on bail and offers her a ride home to Indiana. Along the way, they have a run-in with a Pennsylvania sheriff, meet each other's parents, and eventually fall in love. Written by the great Preston Sturges, the film boasts a solid cast of character players who bring comedy, drama and plenty of heart-warming charm.

1954- Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney- Music by Irving Berlin- With classic Irving Berlin tunes, extraordinary dance numbers, and holiday cheer, White Christmas will get you in the holiday spirit. Bing Crosby introduced the tune "White Christmas" twelve years before, and it had become the most popular Christmas song of the era. Crosby and co-star Rosemary Clooney are both at the height of their vocal talents, and Danny Kaye and Vera Ellen bring lighthearted comedy and dancing pizazz to this timeless classic. With songs like "Sisters", "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep", and "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing" this has become a treasured holiday musical.

1946- James Stewart, Donna Reed- Directed by Frank Capra- A holiday tradition. Nominated for five Academy Awards (including Best Picture) this classic is now considered one of the greatest and most cherished films of all time.
