(Home Projectionist is “regifting” this feature, which we ran in 2012. Happy Holidays!)
You know that sometimes annoying song about the “Twelve Days”? We’re using it to highlight 12 Christmas movies that fit the lyrics of the song, more or less…
LITTLE WOMEN (1933; Katherine Hepburn, Joan Bennett, Frances Dee, Jean Parker; directed by George Cukor)
LITTLE WOMEN (1994; Winona Ryder, Kirsten Dunst, Trini Alvarado, Clair Danes; directed by Gillian Armstrong)
Dave is a graphic designer (www.dhdd.net) and movie lover, and the caretaker of “The 3 Benny Theater” (also known as his living room). The moniker was inspired by an extinct movie house–The 3 Penny Theater–and by his black Manx cat, Benny. Favorite films: North By Northwest, The Third Man and The Dekalog.
