BLACK CHRISTMAS MOVIES

 

The Last Holiday

After she is diagnosed with a terminal illness, a shy woman decides to take a European vacation.

The Perfect Holiday

Laughter, love and a just a hint of magic make a fun-filled comedy romance. All she wants for Christmas is to meet a nice man. So when her little girl shares Mommy’s wish with smitten shopping mall Santa.

This Christmas

This year Christmas with the Whitfields promises to be one they will never forget. All the siblings have come home for the first time in years and they’ve brought plenty of baggage with them. As the Christmas tree is trimmed and the lights are hung, secrets are revealed and family bonds are tested. As their lives converge, they join together and help each other discover the true meaning of family.

Black Nativity

Based on the Langston Hughes play, this beloved seasonal story to be adapted by Kasi Lemmons is set in present day Harlem.

Almost Christmas

A new comedy from David E. Talbert that tells the festive story of a beloved patriarch who asks his family for one gift this holiday season: to get along.

The Kid Who Loved Christmas

A Chicago social worker (Cicely Tyson) helps a jazz saxophonist (Michael Warren) adopt a son (Trent J. Cameron) after losing a wife.

Fat Albert’s Christmas Special

In another part of Philly, the Cosby Kids are rehearsing for a Christmas pageant at their junkyard clubhouse, which Tyrone, the mean old junkyard owner, is fixin’ to tear down. That’s when Marshall & his parents show up. With their car broken down, Marshall’s mom is about to have a baby and his dad, without health insurance, inspires the gang to invite them in the clubhouse for shelter. Tyrone agrees to let them stay until the baby is born, in exchange for Fat Albert working for him as a sidewalk Santa. “Ho-ho-ho’s” in Fat Albert fashion ensue. After the old hobo, Mudfoot, gives Tyrone a lecture about how he’s been grumpy at the world ever since his wife died, the junkyard owner has a change of heart and promises to keep the gang’s clubhouse in tact.

A Diva’s Christmas Carol

A new twist on an old classic, this VH1 production may not look like the Dickens favorite, but it’s true to its spirit. “Ebony Scrooge” is a miserly Diana Ross-type singer. She was once part of 1980s trio Desire, but one of the members was killed in a car crash and Ebony abandoned the others for a solo career. While in New York for a “charity” concert–designed to benefit her more than anyone else–Ebony is visited by four spirits. First comes Marli, followed by the Ghosts of Christmas Past (Suddenly Susan’s Kathy Griffin), Present (Duran Duran’s John Taylor), and Future. The last is a tragically humorous episode of Behind the Music, featuring cameos by Nile Rodgers and Brian McKnight. It’s enough to make a diva change her wicked ways–some of them, at any rate.
