Now that the weather has changed out here in Seattle, I'm already lining up my Halloween and Christmas movies.

I don't watch movies during the summer months because it stays light until after nine at this latitude and for some reason I feel like it has to be dark to watch a movie.  And since I'm usually in bed by nine these days, that doesn't leave me any movie watching time until the dark days of winter beset us.

I have to confess that the Christmas movie I'm most looking forward to this year is a guilty pleasure I stumbled across in the Spanish language section at the local library years ago.  I've watched it every year ever since, and finally broke down and bought my own copy so I wouldn't have to worry about getting it from the library each year.

It is definitely a cheese fest and probably not to anyone's taste in this group, but for some reason I just love it.

It's on a DVD under the title: 

Las Travesuras Navideñas de Manolito Gafotas

I think it was originally released as something like "Manolito Ser Jefe."

I wouldn't encourage any of you to go out and buy it unless you have a high risk tolerance.  Here's a sample review from the amazon.com web site:

• "I bought this for my classroom because it was described as a Home Alone in Spanish. The movie is unwatchable. It isn't funny or cute. Don't waste your money."

Heh, heh, heh.  See what I mean?

I know!  There's no accounting for taste; right?

So, that's the movie I'm most looking forward to watching this season.

How about you?
