I was thinking… What are my favourite christmas movies? That is movies about christmas, or set at christmas. My favourites. Now, let me start…

* Love Actually
I thought I had this on DVD, but I cannot find this. It is a movie that I think starts before the christmas season, but ends right at the christmas season, and it does have all the character of the meaning of chirstmas so it is on my list. In the next few days this will be added to my collection. The music plays an integral part of this movie.

* DieHard II
DieHard II is definitely at the oposite end of the spectrum, more towards an action movie rather than a romantic comedy. This sequel is set in Washington DC in Dulles Airport, and I can remember watching it a few days before flying into Dulles a few days before christmas. Not the wisest decision I have ever made, but it is an enjoyable movie none the less. And I do like the ‘Let it Snow’ at the end. DieHard I could have been added here but really it is not as good as the sequel.

* Home Alone
Adding this movie was simple and hard. I do not have a copy, but I did enjoy watching this movie for its pure slapstick comedy. What could be grander than seeing a young boy outsmart two dumb robbers – it is the stuff that cartoons are made of.

So that is my list of some of the best christmas movies, at least from my point of view. I actually found it hard to think up this list – and I thought it would be oh so easy. I was wrong.

And on the subject of the DVD library, I am looking at the DVD Profiler software from InterVocative. This software will manage your DVD collection including who you lend any DVD’s to. I am looking at this software, and if it is worthwhile I might keep using it. I will see how that goes.
