The annual YellowdogFamily Christmas Movie Binge Tonight: Christmas In the Clouds.

So far we have watched
A Christmas Story
Pocketful of Miracles
We're No Angels (the Humphrey Bogart one)
Nightmare Before Christmas
March of the Wooden Soldiers (Laurel & Hardy 1934)

Tonight's movie is Christmas in the Clouds

A beautiful, funny and sweet indie flick filmed at the SUndance Resort. (also featured at a Sundance Film Festival)

Indian Tribe opens a winter resort in the Winter With no Snow.

A travel guide magazine advises them that a reviewer is coming to stay. The owner is determined to get a high star rating, and everything seems to get in his way!

Meanwhile, the "grandpa" character has been corresponding with a lady in New York, who impulsively decides to pay him a visit.

These two arrive on the same day.

This of course results in mistaken identities, and a wealth of comedic activity.

Sub plots include: a lost pet mouse, a near disastrous trip to a Bingo party, a concierge who immerses herself in romance novels, and a vegetarian chef (Graham Greene) and attempts to convince all the diners to try the non-meat menu items.

One of our favorite Christmas Movies and I highly recommend it.

Christmas movie. It's actually got good reviews as a good charming family movie. He also said it's got good Santa Fe shots.

I may decide to watch this instead of Die Hard.

It sounds like a lot of fun. And Graham Greene is a terrific actor.
