Christmas and its festive and joyous season have inspired a great number of film clas- sics and popular movies. The following seminarians reflect on their favorite Christmas films and—if you haven’t seen them—recommend these cinematic treasures for your viewing pleasure this Christmas Season: Stephen Mirarchi, Theology I / Archdiocese of St. Louis / Home Parish: Incarnate Word, Chesterfield

“For the metaphorically inclined cinephile, M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Unbreakable’ depicts the coming into being of a man imbued with fortification beyond his human reckoning. Contempla- tion of this underrated allegory will yield rich benefits in grasping the divine nature of discern- ment. Indie-savvy cosmopolitans might seek out ‘The Decalogue’ by Polish writer/director Krzysztof Kieslowski. Though not explicitly Christmas-oriented, this series of one-hour films has garnered awards from the International Catholic Film Organization and offers mind-bending moral dilemmas that will reap abundant dialogic fruits among Advent-conscious adults seeking ethical invigoration.” Joseph Lang, Sophomore, Cardinal Glennon College / Archdiocese of St. Louis / Home Par- ish: St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, Oakville

“‘Babar and Fr. Christmas’ is my absolute favorite. The movie is about Retaxes, ‘the diabolical rhinoceros,’ and his plot to ruin Christmas for Celestville. Luckily, King Babar foils Retaxes’ plan by traveling North of Bohemia begging Fr. Christmas to come to Celestville. More than its action- packed plot, this movie is so great because of the nostalgic feeling it evokes. Each year growing up, my family faithfully viewed this movie, signaling that Christmas was soon approaching. Now, as all of my family has grown and moved away, I still like to see it from time to time recalling the days of my youth.”

Rev. Mr. Christopher Rossman, Theology IV / Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas / Home Parish: Sacred Heart in Ottawa, Kansas

“One of my favorite Christmas films is ‘The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.’ While not a film, it is an enjoyable Christmas show for children and adults. The characters and the unique toys that only Dr. Seuss could come up with make it fun to watch. It also has wonderful Christmas message. In- stead of focusing on gifts and what you get, it emphasizes being together and sharing yourself with others as the true meaning of Christmas.”

Scott Hastings, Theology III, / Archdiocese of Omaha / Home Parish: St. Wenceslaus in Omaha

“Not often thought of as a Christmas movie, ‘The Bells of St. Mary’s’ (1945) is a great film to spend an afternoon with over the holidays. Few films so clearly and refreshingly present the joy of Christmas for the average American. Bing Crosby reprised his role as Fr. O’Malley, previously played in ‘Going My Way.’ Teamed up with Ingrid Bergman as Sr. Benedict, the two sometimes- at-odds characters manage to come together at Christmastime. From the unforgettably innocent scene of the schoolchildren’s Nativity play to the choir’s singing of O Sanctissima , ‘The Bells of St. Mary’s’ shows the joy of faith of the characters in the film. Likewise, the film presents clear themes of sacrifice, forgiveness, giving of oneself, and the joy that comes from a life of religious service. On top of it all, the film has a healthy dose of laughs and good old-fashioned Bing Crosby crooning.” Page 4 The Herald
