No one has even dreamed of attempting a remake of the top two picks for this luminous list - THANK GOD!

... not so far -not at blogging time- anyways! 

Anyway... you SEE; it is not so difficult to put together a *luminous list* - one that truly reflects the Truth! You simply weed out -or outright ignore- all the drivel, all the craaaaap that has been infesting our senses in the last few DECADES, really... You keep to the truly classic far; the one that stood the test of TIME! And you respect your elders; the originals! ET VOILÀ: you have got yourself a true-blue luminous compilation of what is truly GOOD within the chosen parameters - in this case, the exclusive niche of Holiday Cheer on celluloid!
