While it's undoubtedly over-the-top, it's also difficult not to see a little of yourself in the film. The animated television special, "A Charlie Brown Christmas," and its corresponding jazz score by Vince Guaraldi, have been synonymous with the holidays since they debuted on CBS back in Sure, parts of the film are a bit more melancholy than modern Christmas tales; but in the end, Charlie Brown and his friends remind viewers what the holidays are really about.

It is simply not to be missed. During the mayhem of the holiday shopping season, two New Yorkers reach for the same pair of gloves at Bloomingdale's. The two hit it off, and decide to spend the evening together but ultimately part ways when Sara Thomas, played by Kate Beckinsale, argues that fate will bring them back together if that's what's meant to be. Years pass, and on the eve of his wedding to someone else, Jonathan Trager, played by John Cusack, feels he can't escape signs that are leading him to figure out where Sara ended up -- but all he has is her first name.

She's in a similar situation, but do the two ultimately end up finding one another? So, Crosby and Kaye follow the sisters north to the inn and a series of misadventures and musical numbers ensue.

After the first "Home Alone," you'd probably think the McCallisters had learned their lesson, right? They couldn't possibly lose Kevin en route to another Christmas vacation.

It's an entirely different sort of holiday movie that adds a welcome bit of black comedy to the mix.

It's funny, unique, and Danny Elfman's score is not to be missed. Learn more about Amazon Giveaway. A Cyber Christmas Carol. Set up a giveaway. There's a problem loading this menu right now.
