(List inspired by my realization that The Apartment is a near-perfect Christmas movie.)
The Apartment is a hard movie to describe—sad, funny, sweet. Very 1950s, but feminist, clear-eyed, unflinching. Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon are both transcendent as young people trying to find their footing in an ugly world. And Christmasy in a very 21st century way.
(It's one of Billy Wilder's best, and one of the all-time great New York City movies, too.)
