No, I don't mean movies about Christmas (although I have my favorites - It's A Wonderful Life is at the top of that list *g*) today's post is about movies released on Christmas Day. Yet more reasons to love the holidays are all the wonderful movies released betweeen Thanksgiving and the end of the year, but what about the movies opening on Dec. 25? This year's releases include:
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - a movie about a man who grows younger as he...well...ages. *g* Starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett
The Spirit - a superhero battles to protect a city
Bedtime Stories - family movie about a man whose bedtime tales come true in real life starring Adam Sandler and Keri Russel
Valkyrie - story about the failed assassination attempt on Hitler starring Tom Cruise
Marley and Me - movie about a couple dealing with their troublesome dog starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson
And there are already plenty of great movies playing in theaters including The Tale of Despereaux (this was one of my older daughter's very favorite books), Seven Pounds (I've seen the commercials for this Will Smith movie at least two dozen times but had no idea what it was about until I read a review of it), Yes Man, a Jim Carey comedy, Doubt and The Reader (for those who like more dramatic movies *g*)
I have to admit, I've never gone to the movies on Christmas Day or even Christmas Eve but it's obviously a coveted release date. In fact, some very popular movies were released on Christmas. Here are the top ten:
Ali
Catch Me If You Can
Alien VS Predator: Requiem
Dream Girls
Patch Adams
Cheaper By The Dozen
The Talented Mr. Ripley
The Godfather part III
Stepmom
Fat Albert
Now, out of these ten movies, I've only seen three (Patch Adams, Cheaper By The Dozen and Fat Albert) and I didn't see any of those three in the theater. Which makes me think I really need to get out more :-)
What about you? Have you ever gone to the movie theater on Christmas Day? Do you plan on going this year? If so, what are you going to see? Any movies currently playing that you're anxious to see? Have you seen any of the other movies released in previous years?
