I’m not sure when the Big Holiday Movie Event became a thing, although “To Kill a Mockingbird” made its bow on today’s date, and “The Godfather” certainly claimed that Christmas Day opening “event” in its time.

“Les Miserables,” the Downey/Jude Law “Sherlock Holmes,” “Dream Girls,” “Django Unchained,” “Ali” and “Catch Me If You Can” were some recent blockbusters or would-be hits that hit screens on the holiday.

This year, I’m planning on catching “Ferrari,” as Neon wasn’t so confident in another Adam Driver slinging-an-Italian-accent drama that they screened it for critics everywhere.

The girlfriend would love to see “The Color Purple,” and I heartily endorse that. So we’ll be immersing ourselves in the wonder that is Taraji, And Fantasia. And Jon Batiste, Colman Domingo and David Alan Grier, by golly.

Are you going out to see one of those, or “The Boys in the Boat” (ugh), or are you staying home to stream “Maestro” with Bradley Cooper as Leonard Bernstein?

The holidays are about a lot of things. After you’ve over-eaten at the table, be sure to drag the kids to “Wonka,” if they haven’t seen it. And if “the kids” are adults, you can’t go far wrong with a Christmas musical version of “The Color Purple.”
