Yes, Catch Me If You Can is also a Christmas movie. Of course, I consider The Secret of My Success a Christmas movie because I watched it on Christmas Eve 1989. Good times. (Vulture)
A film you’ve never seen has just replaced Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo as the British Film Institute's "greatest film of all time." I don't like "greatest" lists, anyway. Vertigo remains one of my personal favorites and the film that made me love San Francisco. (San Francisco Chronicle)
