The new videos are in a '2024' folder so you can download just the new stuff, if you complete this torrent.
2023-12-21 - 4 days before Christmas.
4 days after uploading this torrent, 101 people have completed it, 39 people are trying to download it, and there are only 8 seeds.
92% of the 101 with the completed torrent are hit-and-runners. 92%. "Hey, I got mine, screw everyone else." At Christmastime.
That's really disappointing.
If you have completed this torrent, please seed it!
This is Part 4 of a 4 part collection. Done! Merry Christmas!

The safe-for-kids animations:
Maybe
The Nightmare Before Christmas isn't suitable for little kids?
> The Bishop's Wife (1947) IMDB=7.6 Angel Comedy Drama Fantasy EngSubs CaryGrant DavidNiven LorettaYoung
David Niven is the Bishop, driven to raise the funds for a new cathedral. Lorreta Young is his wife, who want him to relax a little.
Cary Grant is the angel sent to help the Bishop.
This is an accidental theme of Part 4.
In
The Family Man, Don Cheadle is an angel who goes about Earth offering people a chance to do the right thing:
In
The Preacher's Wife, a remake of
The Bishop's Wife, Denzel Washington is the angel.
The top review of "The Bishop's Wife" on IMDB:
Touched by an angel
Dudley, the angel, comes to earth to teach a thing or two to the people of this town, or so it seems. He touches everyone he encounters in a positive way. The message is how we humans get so involved in things that are so unimportant that we miss the big picture.
This film, directed by Henry Koster, is a classic. In fact, I am surprised it doesn't play more during Christmas, or maybe I have missed seeing it around that time of the year that is the setting for the angel's appearance. It seems as though Dudley is pointing to the arrival of Christmas at a time, perhaps, when the season had still a non-commercial aspect and it was, after all, a family affair.
The cast was exceptional. Cary Grant is Dudley, the man/angel who turns everything he touches into a lesson on how to be kind. Julia, the bishop's wife, plays the neglected woman with conviction. David Niven plays the preoccupied bishop who is trying to bring the moneyed people of town to his side in order to erect his monument to his own ego.
Gladys Cooper is also a distinguished face in the film. She is Mrs. Hamilton who learns a thing or two about humility. Elsa Lanchester was a happy figure in whatever film she appeared. Monty Woolley, as the professor is also effective. James Gleason was one of the most prolific character actors of his generation. He is excellent as Sylvester, the taxi driver who befriends Julia and Dudley. Their ice skating sequence is one of the best things of the film.
> The Christmas Chronicles (2018) IMDB=7.0 Adventure Comedy Family EngSubs DarbyCamp JudahLewis KurtRussell
IMDB: The story of sister and brother, Kate and Teddy Pierce, whose Christmas Eve plan to catch Santa Claus on camera turns into an unexpected journey that most kids could only dream about.
I think this is pretty funny and very in keeping with Christmas. Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) is Santa.
> The Family Man (2000) IMDB=6.8 Angel Comedy Drama EngSubs Romance DonCheadle NicolasCage TéaLeoni
This movie explores the implications of a single decision in the lives of two people in love. Nicolas Cage and Téa Leoni have a crucial moment, when Cage decides to leave her temporarily to pursue a professional opportunity. It turns out to be
not temporary. Cage goes on to become a super-successful Wall Street finance guy. On Christmas Eve, he intervenes when Don Cheadle is trying to cash a lottery ticket and the clerk refuses. Cage averts violence by buying the tag. Then he goes a step further by trying to help Cheadle. The result is Cage waking up
married to Leoni With two kids.
I love this movie.
> The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022) IMDB=6.9 Adventure Comedy EngSubs ScienceFiction ChrisPratt DaveBautista KarenGillan
In my opinion, one of the very best of the recent additions to the Christmas catalog. To make a nice Christmas for Peter Quill (Starlord), Mantis and Drax go to Earth to get Kevin Bacon, Hero of Earth, who once saved a town
by dancing. For a minute or two, we get to see Mantis exercise her martial skills, a first for me. Kevin Bacon is unwilling and has to be Mantis-coerced. It ends up working out for everyone, including Bacon. 40 minutes of good Christmas fare.
> The Lemon Drop Kid (1951) IMDB=7.0 Comedy EngSubs Music Romance BobHope LloydNolan MarilynMaxwell
The main virtue of this movie is Bob Hope, for whom I have had a soft spot ever since I got to help him out of his costume when he came to my school to film a segment of his annual Thanksgiving specials. I helped set up the room for the taping, so I reserved myself a seat in the front row. When Mr. Hope asked for help getting out of his costume, I jumped and and helped; it was held on with duct tape. After the special was broadcast, my parents sent me a VHS tape of me laughing: I was a featured laugher LOL.
That's Mr. Hope in the middle:
> The Little Matchgirl (2006) IMDB=7.8 Warning-YouMightCry Animation Drama Family
Have tissue paper handy. Those of you dating someone new: show this 6-minute video to your date, and if your date isn't moved --
in my opinion, that's a huge red flag.
As I understand it, it's illegal to beg but selling matches is a work-around.
> The Little Match Girl (1986) IMDB=8.7 Drama Music TVMovie MichaelHordern RogerDaltrey Twiggy
This version is a musical, and is an hour and 40 minutes long. I haven't watched it yet, but that's a very high IMDB rating.
> The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) IMDB=6.8 Action Crime EngSubs Mystery GeenaDavis SamuelLJackson YvonneZima
This is a Die Hard-class Christmas movie: it takes place at Christmas, and there's lots of action and explosions. It's a good movie. Gena Rowlands plays a very badass badass. Samuel L Jackson turns in the usual excellent performance.
> The Nativity Story (2006) IMDB=6.8 Religious Drama Fantasy EngSubs HiamAbbass KeishaCastle-Hughes OscarIsaac
This is a straightforward, serious depiction of the Nativity story.
IMDB: A drama that focuses on the period in Mary and Joseph's life where they journeyed to Bethlehem for the birth of Jesus.
Oscar Isaac, star of recent Star Wars movies, is Joseph.
> The Thin Man (1934) IMDB=7.9 Comedy Crime EngSubs Mystery MaureenOSullivan MyrnaLoy WilliamPowell
This is the first of a series of 5 or 6
Thin Man movies made by debonair William Powell and hilarious Myrna Loy. He is an amateur Sherlock Holmes, always seeing through the BS. She is always helpful with the mystery solving, not just a comedic sidekick like how Dr. Watson is often portrayed. It's just barely a Christmas movie: it takes place at Christmas and we see Ms. Loy with Christmas presents. When Mr. Powell finally flushes out the culprit, you may recognize him as a department store psychologist in another Christmas movie.
> Tokyo Godfathers (2003) IMDB=7.8 Anime Comedy Drama EngSubs AyaOkamoto TohruEmori YoshiakiUmegaki
Three homeless people find an abandoned baby.
They have many adventures before arriving at the very-suitable-for-Christmas denouement. This isn't explicitly a Christmas movie but it's full of Christmas spirit.
> Trapped in Paradise (1994) IMDB=5.9 Action Comedy EngSubs DanaCarvey JonLovitz NicolasCage
This probably doesn't belong in this collection, with its relatively low IMDB rating. It's redeeming feature: the great Dana Carvey does a spot on impression of Mickey Roarke the entire movie.
Who Killed Santa Claus (1941) IMDB=7.3 France Crime EngSubs HarryBaur RenéeFaure RobertLeVigan
During the pandemic, I spent an obsessive few months assembling a large collection of Christmas movies. This one eluded me. I saw it on several "best Christmas movie" lists. I tried hard but couldn't find it. I was delighted when I recently searched again and found it on archive.org.
It was filmed in occupied France and its filming was closely supervised by the German occupiers. It is rumored that the Jewish lead actor was later taken by the Nazis and killed..
Here was the top review on IMDB when I made a torrent with just this movie, 3 days ago:
>
Rare, remarkable, and controversial film from occupied France
This was the first film that the Nazis allowed to be made in France after the occupation and installation of the Vichy government. Many denounced its director as a collaborator because he made a film sanctioned by the Nazis. But to the discerning eye, this unusual film does anything but cooperate with the enemy.
> In its fairy-tale setting, the various characters appear as symbols in a constantly shifting allegory of good and evil. The literal-minded Nazi censors apparently didn't get the message, because any particular character might appear in one scene as a symbol of the collaborators, and in the next as a loyalist and supporter of resistance. Even as the symbolic alignments shifted too rapidly for the Nazis to detect them (much the way resistance fighters themselves often had to) the message of hope and patriotism and faith remained quite clear.
> The story concerns an old globe-maker who is mysteriously killed while going through the town portraying Pere Noel ("Father Christmas" aka Santa Claus). The unraveling of the mystery is entwined with a love story concerning an aloof nobleman who might be a scoundrel, or might be Prince Charming. But the story is little more than a pretext for the message and the pervasive sense of magic that the film weaves.;
> Of special note is the performance of Harry Baur, the famous Yiddish actor, as the Globemaker. His subtly Jewish Santa Claus is, in and of itself, a bold act of resistance. This was the next to last film Baur made. He was soon taken prison by the Nazis and reportedly died at the hands of the Gestapo.
> I saw this film in 1980 when the Cinematheque Francaise sent a huge program of films to Los Angeles in collaboration with UCLA and The L.A. County Museum of Art. I do not know of it being shown in this country since. I have heard of an untranslated VHS of it being in existence, but I have been unable to find it. Do not miss this film if you are afforded a chance to see it.
*
Please share this movie with your friends, so it remains available always.
> Zoey's Extraordinary Christmas (2021) IMDB=7.2 Comedy EngSubs Music TVMovie AlexNewell JaneLevy SkylarAstin
This is the Christmas Special for the TV show. It's an hour and 39 minutes long, so it didn't belong in the episodes collection.
Like the TV show, in this movie Zoey's thoughts and insecurities are manifested by the people around her suddenly dancing and singing a familiar song with relevant lyrics. I think it's delightful.

GENERAL COMMENTS ABOUT THE COLLECTION (copy-paste from Part 1):
Re exploring these torrents:
Every movie folder has a file named "IMDB". It's actual name is "IMDB.url". If you are on Windows, then double-clicking that file will bring you to the moviee's IMDB page. I don't know what it does on other operating systems.
If you like to have subtitles, "EngSubs" means the movie has English subtitles, "Multisub" means it has English (probably) and a number of other languages. I tried hard to find subtitles, using VLC's View -> VLSub feature. If I didn't find subtitles, they might be available by some other means.
If you are on Windows, then I strongly recommend that you install Voidtool's Everything search utility.
Search for "voidtools everything download".
It will let you
instantly find videos when you search for them. (I have no affiliation with Voidtools other than thanking the Deity in the Sky every day for the
amazing Everything utility.)
All of the videos have 3 genres and 3 actors after their name and IMDB rating.
Actors are identified by their name with the space removed, e.g. "Barbara Stanwyck" is written as BarbaraStanwyck. This convention avoids false positive when you search for an actor's name, e.g. because "Fred Barbara" is immediately followed by "Stanwyck Van Dorfalot". Ms. Stanwyck has 3 movies in this collection, by the way. ALL highly recommended.
If you install Everything and want to restrict its searches to just this collection, here is the syntax:
> "H:\TG 12-1\0 UPDATED\Christmas Movies" BarbaraStanwyck
The quoted path limits Everything to searching that path. Needless to say, change it to
your path LOL.
You need to keep the path SHORT because the folder names are long. If subtitles aren't loading for you, then your path is probably too long.
If "Crime" movies are your thing, search for:
"H:\TG 12-1\0 UPDATED\Christmas Movies" crime
to find the 12 movies in the Crime genre.
You can apply more than one search term. If you like funny romance movies, for example:
"H:\TG 12-1\0 UPDATED\Christmas Movies" comedy romance
will find the 30 movies with both of those genre tags. By default Everything ANDs the tags. Use the || operator if you want to OR them:
> "H:\TG 12-1\0 UPDATED\Christmas Movies" comedy || romance
That will find all of the videos with the comedy OR romance genres, including those with both.
I have tried to identify Hallmark and Lifetime movies as such, but it was a manual process which means I probably erred. If you see the genre "TVMovie", then it
might* be one of those.
I manually added a few tags.
"Angel" identifies movies with an angel. There are at least 6 in the collection. If I missed some, please comment to that effect.
"GroundhogDayPlot" identifies 5 movies which repeat an interval like Bill Murray's Groundhog Day.
"TimeTravel" identifies movies that ... There are 7 so labelled.
There is ONE "NotForKids" movie, A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas (2011).
My usual process for labelling videos with genres populated 32 videos as "Animations". Looking over the set in Everything, I
think that they are all suitable for children, but there are a few I'm unfamiliar with. If you want to check before showing them to your kids, I recommend the site "Common Sense Media" which gives (IMO) reasonable and believable statements about the age suitability of movies and games etc. (Again, no affiliation).
To give you motivation to install and use the Everything utility, here is a screen shot of my search for "Animation".
[img]https://i.imgur.com/bnZl2Xb.png[\img]
From that list, you can right-click -> Open to go to the folder with the video. You can also do control-a (to select all of the videos in the list) then right-click -> Copy or right-click -> Cut, to copy or move the folders to another location, for example if you want to have a folder of ONLY child-suitable movies.
You can use Everything to identify videos with a given IMDB rating, e.g. if you're looking for the best.
"H:\TG 12-1\0 UPDATED\Christmas Movies" "imdb=9 (you'll find only one video)
"H:\TG 12-1\0 UPDATED\Christmas Movies" "imdb=8 (27 videos)
