This perennial, Christmas-season favorite from 1942 teamed Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire as entertainers (and rival suitors of Marjorie Reynolds) running an inn that is only open on holidays. It's a great excuse for lots of singing and dancing, seamlessly wrapped in a catchy story, and Astaire's frequent director Mark Sandrich (Top Hat, Shall We Dance?) doesn't let us down. The Irving Berlin numbers (each one connected to a different holiday) are winners. Crosby's warm performance of "White Christmas" is a movie touchstone. --Tom Keogh

"First Viewing Plot: At an inn which is open only on holidays, a crooner and a hoofer vie for the affections of a beautiful up-and-coming performer. So this...wasn't much of a Christmas movie; the majority of the movie takes place on other holidays, though a couple of iconic scenes take place on Christmas so I guess we can technically count it. However, this one didn't impress me as much as I had anticipated, given its status as a perennial holiday favourite. Oh, sure, there's plenty of lovely "
