Chet, a Baby Boomer, and Dee, a Millennial, share their perspectives on classic films. They'll tell you why they think these films are worth seeing and what we can learn from them. Although you'll hear a little trivia and a bit of talk about film-making and story-telling technique, the emphasis is on the value of the films as cultural artifacts. What do they tell us about the times in which they were made? What lessons can they still teach us today?

16: "Elf" (2003) Classic Movie Recommendation Holiday Edition
We're making an exception to our rule about not discussing any movie that's younger than a Millennial. Too many people have told us that they don't like Will Ferrell movies, which means they've never taken in this contemporary classic. This has to change. We'll talk about how Ferrell's unique talents bring both hilarity and warmth to this tale about a young man who was raised by Santa and the toy-building elves of the North Pole and eventually makes his way to the New York City to find his biological father. This is a story about rediscovering our innocence and joy and sharing it with the people around us--which is just the sort of thing we all should be doing during the holiday season.
