(SOMETIMES NONTRADITIONAL or LONG FORGOTTEN) CHRISTMAS MOVIE COUNTDOWN: #7

You’ve Got Mail: This movie was already on my list, but now even more so given the tragic events earlier this week. For those of you who don’t remember (or, heaven forfend, have never seen the movie) a large part of it takes place during the Christmas season. Plus for those of us who were around at the dawn of email being accessible to more than just academics and government agencies, it’s a nice bit of nostalgia!

“Struggling boutique bookseller Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) hates Joe Fox (Tom Hanks), the owner of a corporate Foxbooks chain store that just moved in across the street. When they meet online, however, they begin an intense and anonymous Internet romance, oblivious of each other’s true identity. Eventually Joe learns that the enchanting woman he’s involved with is actually his business rival. He must now struggle to reconcile his real-life dislike for her with the cyber love he’s come to feel.”
