The holidays--that time between Thanksgiving and New Year's--jam more "together" time together than any other time during the year. And all that being together calls for movies to watch together to celebrate the season or movies to watch alone to survive the season. From such classics to enjoy as a family like "A Christmas Story, " "It's a Wonderful Life," and "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" to more offbeat films like "Home for the Holidays " and "Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale" ," Roger Ebert's full-length reviews suggest a wide range of titles sure to please everyone on your list. Also included are thoughtful films like John Huston's rendering of James Joyce's "The Dead," a poignant look at life and "Joyeux Noel, " based on the true story of a spontaneous cease-fire between German and Allied troops on Christmas Eve 1914. As a bonus, in the enhanced version, more than half of the reviews include a clip of the movie's trailer.
