It's Christmas Eve in Paris and 11 of the girls in two straight lines, as well as their beloved Miss Clavel, are sick in bed. Madeline, everyone's favorite smallest one, is the only one left standing and so she bravely gives up her chance to go home for Christmas in order to bring tea and tissues to her friends. When the old house covered with vines is also covered with snow thanks to a storm, it looks like the holiday won't be very merry until the girls' own Christmas angel shows up to make things right. Based on Ludwig Bemelmans's book, the story and little-girl French accents couldn't be more charming. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Madeline's Christmas [VHS]

Sony

After a pleasant trip to the circus, Madeline and her buddy Pepito decide to make it their life's work and run off with the traveling caravan of gypsies in this colorful 24-minute installment of the Madeline series, based on author Ludwig Bemelmans's original story. When the stowaways are discovered, a kindly "gypsy mama" takes them under her wing. Curiously, neither child is missed until bedtime, allowing them a good head start and the beginnings of a performance career in a lion suit dubbed "Madelito." The kids eventually get homesick and are tracked down by Pepito's parents, Miss Clavel, and Madeline's class, but in the meantime there are clowns, a strongman, an elephant, and plenty of catchy songs. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Matthew Perry (Chandler from TV's "Friends") stars as Alex Whitman, a New Yorker sent to Las Vegas to oversee a construction project. There he meets Isabel Fuentes (Salma Hayek, Desperado), and some serious chemistry brings them together for one night. But Alex doesn't see Isabel again until three months later, when he learns that she is pregnant. On a whim and a prayer, he proposes. However, there's more to marriage than a Vegas chapel and an Elvis impersonator, as Alex and Isabel soon learn in this perfect date movie.
