White Christmas

Pros: Music, dancing, Bing Crosby. Pure magic.
Cons: Reminds me of my own 2 left feet.

Irving Berlin's White Christmas Staring - Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen. 120 Minutes Not Rated For as far back as I can remember White Christmas has always been a part of our Christmas traditions. We would ...

Pros: Entertaining work from Crosby, Kaye, Clooney, Vera-Ellen, good song and dance bits

The song "White Christmas" was written by Irving Berlin for the 1942 film Holiday Inn, starring Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby, and it became a smash hit, one of the best selling singles of all time.  The film was also a success, and would ...

Pros: Magical numbers by Irving Berlin, simple morals
Cons: Predictable plot

It is hard to believe that Christmas 2000 has already come and gone though the remnants of that most special of days are still quite apparent throughout my small house. The tree, still looking rather charming despite the loss of a few needles will stay...

Pros: Singing, dancing, Bing, Beautiful costumes
Cons: None that I can see I have always loved this movie

There are so many wonderful Christmas movies that when one is asked to pick just one as a favorite it becomes quite a difficult task. Certainly one of my all time favorites is A Christmas Carol, but since I have already done a book review on the book, I...

Pros: Sweet, funny, and lots of great music
Cons: It's not Bing Crosby's best film

What is the best gift during the Christmas season? The gift of happiness of course. 1954’s White Christmas deals with this gift. Yes, the film may be a little hokey and sentimental, but it is sure to put a smile on your face every Christmas.
...

Pros: Great songs, wonderful performances by the stars, nostalgia by the handful
Cons: None really

My favorite holiday is an old classic from way back when.

White Christmas, starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Vera-Ellen and Rosemary Clooney was done by Paramount primarily to capitalize on both the high popularity of the song “White...

Pros: It's clean, uplifting, no sex, no murders, no drugs, no computer generated monsters
Cons: a little 'over done' and boring for todays jaded audiences

Pros: lots of fun scenes, you get to hear Bing croon the title song not once but twice, has a good message about friendship & helping others
Cons: I'm not a big fan of 2 of the musical numbers - "Mandy" and "Choreography"

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays of the year. (Well.... next to my birthday, of course, which just so happens to be an unofficial world holiday!) I love everything about the season - the lights, the classic carols that you hear playing...

Pros: Great movie, clean, perfect for all children
Cons: None!

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas… Bing Crosby sings at the end of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. The words are so soft and moving, really getting a person into the Christmas spirit.

White Christmas, filmed in...

Pros: Crosby, Clooney, Vera-Ellen, Kaye, music, dancing, plotline
Cons: None

My mother was the one who introduced my brother and I to the wonders of the 1954 feel-good holiday film White Christmas when we were kids. After just one viewing, I was permanently hooked on the sounds, the sights and the feel-good plotline. ...

Pros: Christmas family classic with great songs
Cons: A tepid re-make of "Holiday Inn" (1942)

Since childhood, watching this Christmas classic has been part of our holiday celebrations but, only recently, did I view it critically. Specifically, now that there's the long-awaited DVD with a new commentary track and 15-minute retrospective...

Pros: Nice fluff
Cons: Thin plot

I've stated before that my critical side is more than a bit skewed when it comes to movies I grew up with; nonetheless, I'm going to launch into such a commentary yet again. "White Christmas" is a holiday tradition around my house, and we see...

Pros: A movie for the whole family, a timeless classic.
Cons: Slower moving, so young children might get bored with it.

There is so much to say about this movie. Why can't Hollywood make more classics like it today? Two of my all time favorite actors are the stars of the show: Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye, and the girls just add to the chemistry!
When I first saw it...

Pros: Superb casting, wonderful music, excellent storyline
Cons: only that this show is played once year!

If White Christmas wasn't a Christmas movie, I'd watch it all year round. Well, actually, I do watch it all year round. It's not only my favorite all time Christmas movie, but my favorite movie of all time! The singing of Bing Crosby and the music by...

Pros: Great color and music
Cons: Not enough seasonal music

White Christmas was the very first movie about Christmas that I have memory of. The thought of snow on Christmas was new to a young boy that had no memory of a White Christmas. I saw this movie for the first time in a theater in 1955. I still watch it...
