Over the years Hallmark Hall of Fame has produced over 200 movies for TV. Many of these films are quite sentimental so be sure to have a box of tissues nearby!
Two of the most popular Hallmark Movies feature Christmas stories based upon the books by Richard Paul Evans.
The Christmas Box, from 1995, was the first of two films. Richard Thomas, whose most famous role was as Johnboy on the Waltons TV series, plays the lead character. He's an overworked Dad who reluctantly moves his family into a cold mansion owned by the cranky old widow Mary. Event though his wife seems to enjoy living there, he suffers from recurring dreams about the mansion being haunted and a strange box. Finally when Mary shares the story of the Christmas box the family comes together to appreciate the meaning of Christmas.
The next year Hallmark released The Timepiece, which goes back in time to show the background of the widow Mary Parkin and her family. This film stars Naomi Watts, Ellen Burstyn and James Earl Jones.
The Timepiece has a darker tone, from both the story and the time period, the end of World War II. It tells the tale of how David Parkin meets and falls in love with Mary. Eventhough she is pregnant and unmarried, David marries her and they raise her daughter as their own. Together they face difficult and tragic events as they try to build a life together.
While they are a bit predictable, Hallmark movies The Christmas Box and The Timepiece are good movie watching during the holiday season.
