The holidays are coming,and that made me wonder:what are you favorite Christmas movie scores? I love John Williams's original "Home Alone",Alan Silvestri's "The Polar Express",and Cyril J.Mockridge's "Miracle On 34th Street".But my special favorite is Bruce Broughton's beautiful "Miracle On 34th Street"(1994).Tell me what your favorites are!
Santa Claus: The Movie (Henry Mancini), Home Alone 1 and 2 (John Williams, my very first soundtrack), A Christmas Carol (Alan Silvestri), The Polar Express (Alan Silvestri), The Snowman (Howard Blake), The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey (Guy Farley).

There is a two disc set of 'Miracle on 34th St' with the Broughton and Mockridge scores- both delightful in their own ways.
'Doctor Who- A Christmas Carol'
'A Charlie Brown Christmas (remastered)'- While it only has a couple of original pieces, 'Christmastime Is Here' has become a established christmas carol. The remastered version lets you hear the entire trio- it's almost scary how you can hear the entire trio.
