one that's widely known?
One of my very favorites is, The Family Man, with Nicholas Cage and Tea Leoni. I'm watching it now.
I had to cancel my Christmas plans because we're supposed to have some really bad weather and flooding here in SoCal.

(502 posts)London decides to enlist fellow commuters(who basically never interact) to join him in having a Christmas party together. It has many poignant moments. I found it on Prime Video and it has become a favorite. Stay safe, be well and happy viewing!😊🎄

From IMDB
Every winter, Michael J. O'Connor, the second richest man in the world, vacates his 5th Avenue mansion for his winter home in warmer climes. Every winter, Aloysius T. McKeever, a homeless man, moves into the vacated mansion. This particular winter, McKeever meets Jim Bullock, an army veteran who has recently been evicted from his apartment and offers to share the mansion with him. It's not long before the mansion has a few more guests, including two of Jim's army buddies and their wives and children; runaway heiress Trudy Connor; her mother, and even Michael J. O'Connor, himself.
