The Shop Around the Corner

James Stewart's evergreen romantic comedy is unbelievably over 80 years old, but still has enough seasonal charm to melt a snowman's heart. Often overshadowed by the much more popular It's A Wonderful Life, TSATC is equally as wonderful, if not moreso - still sitting pretty at 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, and with a richly earned rep as one of the very first, and very best, romcoms ever.

Remade in 1998  as You've Got Mail, the deftly told tale of two shopworkers who can barely stand each other in real life, but are in fact falling deeply in love via their anonymous love letters, crackles throughout with smart, funny one-liners & a delightful chemistry between Stewart & the exquisite Margaret Sullivan. Never sentimental or mawkish,  this is a timeless classic of the genre and one of the greatest films ever made. Trust us.
