Not really Corea, you see over this side of the ocean, growing up, there just weren't that many tv channels.
Every year, the few stations tried their best to outdo the others by showing the best films.
It soon became apparent that people wanted to see the same films every year, and henceforth, these became Christmas films.
The best example are the Star Wars films, when in the time before most people had VHS players, Christmas was the only time you'd see these films, and as a kid, you would be very much looking forward to them.
thats stupid.
lol, jk ill allow that.
but some of these guys are getting carried away...
OMG, it had a pine tree in it, and i think i saw boxes. THATS MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS FILM!

I've only ever read the book, which I thought was excellent. I've heard the film was rubbish, except for the the soundtrack?

Same here... it's one of the films I refuse to watch for the same reason. Not many in the list though... another one is Beaches for some strange reason.
I heard they director used to wind the kid up on set telling him his Grandma was going to die to get him to cry... vicious bastids!!
