Even after watching them every year, there is something undeniably heartwarming about the classic holiday films you have loved since childhood. However, there are many classic Christmas movies that you may never have seen. Although less popular than “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946) and “White Christmas” (1954), these movies are just as merry, entertaining, and uplifting.

One of my favorite Christmas classics is “Remember the Night” (1940), starring Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray. Beginning on Christmas Eve and lasting through New Year’s, it depicts the most charming old-fashioned country Christmas one could hope to see. However, it is more than just a festive movie about stringing popcorn and singing carols; this film is inspiring.
