We are a movie watching household, so there is never anything quite so satisfying as being able to gear-up for and celebrate a holiday with some evening viewing. This is the second in a series where I pull out the movies we watch for those holidays that aren’t Halloween and Christmas. The first were Thanksgiving and New Year if you are in to this holiday thing.
Easter
- Kiss Me Deadly (1955): heavy on the noir, maybe light on the Easter, but it’s there.
- The Being (1983): monsters, murder, green slime, and nuclear waste, what more can one ask for on Easter?
- It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown (1974): Charlie Brown = holidays, again and again and again.
- The First Easter Rabbit (1976): I love Rankin and Bass productions. I love the animation and I love the clay-mation. Most of the specials I have collected are Christmas, of course, but Rankin and Bass hit all the holidays, or almost all.
- Easter Parade (1948): I grew up with musicals, so of course they are prime for inclusion in holiday themed viewing.
- Chocolat (2000): I think this movie gets over looked a bunch, and I over looked it too, even though the entire film is building towards Easter.
