A Midnight Clear
The problem with war during Christmas is both sides put the annihilation of the other on their wish list.
And since Santa doesn't play favourites, instead he grants the war-weary warriors in this drama amnesty.
During the winter of 1944, a squad of US troops (Gary Sinise, Ethan Hawke, Peter Berg, Kevin Dillon, Arye Gross, Frank Whaley) stationed in France is ordered to secure a château in the forest.
But even with the post under their protection, the soldiers notice Jerry's presence in the woods.
After a number of unsuccessful confrontations, both sides call a ceasefire in honour of Christmas Day.
An intense wartime movie and an intimate drama at the same time, A Midnight Clear shows a rare glimpse at compassion during combat, and the pleasures of peace, however brief.
Unfortunately, the fighting started again when they couldn't decide which language to sing O Tannenbaum (O Christmas Tree) in. (Green Light)
