Aside from Christmas, list a movie you like centered around a holiday.

[Sequoia]

Doesn't have to be a title of a movie, but I really like "Groundhog Day". What a strange movie all around, but Bill Murray pulls it off rather well.

[charlie and algernon]

[rurallib]

12. ET

[elshiva]

13. Ushpizin, is this only movie about Sukkot?

Ushpizin is about the Jewish Fall holiday, Sukkot. Great film about an old Orthodox Jewish couple living in Israel. He's holding the citron or lemon on the cover of the DVD, that's an important symbol for Sukkot. :)

[sakabatou]

24. It's called an "etrogue (or however it's spelled)"

It might be the only one about Sukkot.

[Richardo]

14. Jaws

4th of July

[bif]

15. "For your consideration"--indirectly

If you've seen it, you'll know what I mean.

[mitchum]

16. "King of Kings" AKA "I Was A Teenage Jesus"

[Mike 03]

17. Did any of you see "Grindhouse"?

I would have to suggest "Thanksgiving".

(It's a fake movie trailer, but you have to see it. It's hilarious. Go to "You Tube" and type in "Grindhouse," "Thanksgiving," and "preview" or "trailer"

"Prepare to have the stuffing scared out of you."

[Mike 03]

19. There was a film centered around Valentine's Day, but I can't recall

the title.

Was it "My Bloody Valentine"?

[Mike 03]

20. "New Years Evil" 1980

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082806/

[csziggy]

21. Groundhog Day

B-)

I have a sentimental attachment to Groundhog Day - the day, not the movie - since it is my parents' anniversary. This year was their sixty-third one. :party:

[mykpart]

22. Home for the Holidays

with Holly Hunter, Anne Bancroft, Charles Durning, Robert Downey . . . If you have a dysfunctional family, you'll love it.

[Bertha Venation]

26. + 1

[Hell Hath No Fury]

28. One of my very favorite movies ---

A really great film that never got its due. Holly's and Robert's work together was amazing.

[PassingFair]

29. That last scene, where the father and daughter are watching home movies....

:cry:

Especially when Durning says "fearless".

[Bombero1956]

27. Leprechaun and Finian's Rainbow

St. Patrick's Day

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

30. Born on the 4th of July.

Good (real!) story, and the exceedingly rare sight of Tom Cruise not sucking.
