Christmas CameosChristmas Cameos

Want a little Christmas cheer, with an emphasis on little? Looking for a holiday title, but your video store's selection is miserly?

A. "Die Hard"

B. "Gremlins"

C. "Home Alone"

D. "The French Connection"

E. "A Midnight Clear"

F. "The Poseidon Adventure"

G. "Trading Places"

Now, try to match the titles with their Christmas connections:

1. Immense Christmas tree is used as a ladder.

2. Santa hat is placed on head of dead burglar.

3. An early Christmas present goes horribly awry after it's exposed to water.

4. Detective in Santa suit chases suspect through Brooklyn streets.
