jimmy stewart, one of the greatest character arks of all time.e. "die hard" is an incredible christmas movie. >> says a lot about you. >> it's a great christmas movie! first of all, frank sinatra was originally offered the role that bruce willis plays? he was 73. he was contractually obligated. >> are you kidding? >> i'm not kidding you because the book is based on a sequel to a book called "the detective," which is a film in a frank sinatra made in the '60s. >> start spreading the bullets. >> that's your idea of a great christmas movie. let's pick ours. go ahead, elisabeth. >> i really loved "home alone." >> you want to know something cool? you know the movie that mccauley culkin watches in the film? it's a fake movie they made for the film! it's a parody of a cagney film from the 30s. >> a movie i see, i love "scrooged." it's a new take. >> albert finney, right? >> yeah. you've got robert mitchum. >> it's a great film. i already know yet. i loved "frozen." a 3d animated musical. >> a lot of good movies. >> thank you for having me. >> it was ste

. >> you began by talking about the jimmy stewart movie mr. smith goes to washington and i think it true we've internalized this notion of washington corruption as a matter of individuals and if only people would act better everything would be great other than the way that you presented it in the sor a sort of public e institutional notion. why do you think it is that we have this unmerited high expectation rather than think of it institutionally and why the more public choice -- >> that's a good question. i think as the government has gotten larger and there've been more opportunities -- you look for example at while being very and they have a long history in the united states but in terms of being a major industry, it's really been over the past 30 to 40 years. and i'm not an anti-lobbyist per se. people have the right to petition government and explain their positions. i think that the problem is it has become incredibly lucrative and that is what has changed. so it's taken on a business logic all on its own. when you discuss politics i thi

what does potter daulg when jimmy stewart says -- mall fees sentences sans. let's go back to malfeasance. i read that peace. reading it, it is damning. >> but i just want to know, are you allowed to hire someone's kid knowing you're going to get business from that person? it seems like everybody else was already doing it. there's five other banks and they're all going to eventually have to -- >> i have a very strong view about this which is this. unless the actual residents 245u went to the son and the son went to the father or mother or whoever is in position of power, somehow they've agreed that by hiring this person you're going to get this business, i think it's a tough case to make. >> tough case to make. but do you really doubt that there's -- >> no. no, i don't doubt it at all but unclear whether it's a true quid pro quo or whether it gets you in the room. >> the law that it would violate, no one's actually -- even "the new york times" was afraid to say it was violating any law. it would be a bribery law. is it a bribe to -- not that you can do busines

jimmy stewart might not be available. >> get out the smelling salts. >> number three. >> "home alone"bout that movie, the movie that mccally call kin is watching, "keep the change, you filthy animal" that's a fake movie. it's a parody of a james cagni movie. >> when he has the blowup dummy behind the shower curtain. >> i'm going to count to 10. 10. >> i love your number two on this list. i'm totally behind you and i will support you. >> i know this is a random decision, but "die hard". >> it's a christmas movie. frank sinatra was offered the role contractually at the age of 73 because of the movie he made in the '60s called "detective." that's what "die hard" is based on. number one, "love actually." >> perfect choice. >> this is not a typical christmas movie. it makes you feel great. it's a love story. i feel it in my fingers, i feel it in my toes. all five are necessary, must-see movies on christmas. >> nice. a lot of big stars came out of "love actually." >> stars of the "walking dead." >> we put our best choices. "love actually." mine is "christmas vacation." chevy chase vacation.
