7. Christmas in Connecticut: Confession - I had in no way heard of this film prior to researching this list, but It's undoubtedly one that I will be buying for right after reading around the story and the evaluations. A fun story starring Barbara Stanwyck as a writer who is becoming less than sincere around her personal life and is just around to get caught - amongst a Christmas theme. Undoubtedly appears adore an "oldie but goodie".
