(102,292 posts)It is predictable and hokey like a Hallmark Christmas movie, but I know the beautiful scenery and landmarks, I loved John Denver and it is just warm and welcoming.
Hard to find though. It has had a very spotty release on video and I don't see it broadcast frequently.

(14,024 posts)where I worked in the late 70s, and I (very) stupidly said, "are you John Denver, or do you just look like him?", and he replied, "thank you!"
I'm sorry that I didn't really appreciate him until much later.

All Mine To Give is a great obscure one that is based on a real story.
Movies that come out at Xmas
Hobsons Choice is great
The Mudlark is great.
The Shop Around The Corner is fun.
