I know this is a divisive choice in these parts and I see why but even so...It's A Wonderful Life. I don't like this movie as much as I did when I was little but it's still nostalgic. I probably won't be watching it the whole way through anytime soon but if it happens to be on tv after a family get-together, we'll watch the ending.

Have you seen Pottersville? For reals it’s fun move.
 
Day 9: A holiday movie with an everyman, blue-collar, salt-of-the-earth type of guy as the lead

Christmas Noir.

Phillip Marlow, a blue collar, salt of the earth gumshoe, is hired to find the wife of a publisher who ran off to Mexico not long before Christmas. It gets complicated from there.

This one was interesting in two ways. The first one, this film was shot as a POV film. They wanted to mimic Chandler's first-person narration style, so the only time you see Robert Montgomery as Phillip Marlow is when he breaks the fourth wall as a narrator at the start of the movie, or when he sees himself reflected in mirrors and the like. The second interesting thing was moving the novel's mid-summer timeframe to Christmas, which gave Montgomery, who also directed, a chance to contrast the grim events of the story with the brightness of the season. Moving it to Christmastime was a better experiment than the "camera as the character" experiment. And Montgomery was a little unsubstantial as Marlow, even if you saw him only rarely.

Read the book. It isn't a Christmas book, but it works considerably better as a story.

The Lady in the Lake (1947)

Oh, wow. I  love film noir. Gotta find this.

Two of them? Or four…

I may have missread this one 😉
 
Just checking in for tomorrow's prompt and I have a question for @lavendersilk, will it count if I attempt to contact Alistair Sim via séance? Because I'd give it a go! I happen to be wearing my ouija board sweatshirt anyway 🤣
 
Day 10: A holiday movie that has an actor/writer/director who you or a family member has made contact with

Since this prompt may not work for everyone, here is an alternative. Please, only do one. 😘

I've never met him, but my wife used to work at a movie theater where Jon Bon Jovi would go see movies (usually weekday matinees when not a lot of people were around). Said he is a super sweet guy and would always tip the concession staff. She met Bruce Springsteen and Kevin Smith working in that theater too.

That is almost terrifyingly specific.

I am going with a very tenuous contact, heh. In 1987 or 88, they shot a movie in Portland. Two of my friends and I, on a lark, answered a casting call for extras. We shot our stuff for five days, and I was in several crowd scenes that were shot, some prominently. My two friends only made it to one of the days. I was going to be a star!

My friends ended up catching the eye of the second unit director. There is a scene in the film where the main characters are using a fireworks display as a diversion while they steal a safe. The scenes go back and forth between the theft and the diversion, so the pair are front and center on screen for about five minutes total.

My left leg from the knee down is visible for about two seconds in one shot in the movie. (Which is far more screen time than I received as an extra in a Madonna/William Defoe film shot a few years later. Insulting to a future Emmy winner.)

However, at one point, Burt Reynolds walked past us. I am taking it as contact.

When she was ten, my kid liked this movie. I...did not. However, Burt Reynolds is in it. As the voice of a dog. But not even his left leg is shown, so I win. How does that feel, Burt?

A Magic Christmas
