Hello! I thought since I made a post about five movies that reminded me of thanksgiving. I thought it was only fair to do the same for December however this time I only chose four movies! These are movies that I have watched this month and/or movies that I feel are like a must watch during this season.
Trading Places (1983) directed by John Landis. Starring Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche. I remember the first time I saw this it was on AMC during a marathon on New Year’s Eve. But I feel like this movie fits more of a Christmas storytelling vibe.

Scrooged (1988) directed by Richard Donner and starring Bill Murray, and Karen Allen. This is one of the first Christmas movies I ever saw. I was about six when I saw this and I remember how funny it was. Every year after that I made it a tradition for myself to watch it every Christmas and I have kept that promise so far. Billy Murray is great in this. And it is my favorite revamp version of the Charles Dickens book “A Christmas Carol.”

Fargo (1996) directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Starring Frances McDormand, William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi. This wintry movie has a perfect mixture of dark humor and crime drama rolled into one. There is so many memorable scenes in this movie and a lot of them stick to my mind years after I watched it.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)- directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Starring Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins and Keanu Reeves. This is a visually stunning movie.
If you wanted to settle in and watch an epic movie while it is snowing outside. This would be one of my top recommendations for that staying indoors mode. Not only I was obsessed with vampires growing up but this movie actually encouraged it!
