Elf is a good movie. I think that it's one of Dae Lynn's favorites too.

The movie that I couldn't remember is called Seasons of the Heart. It's set in pioneer days and is where a family is heading west in a covered wagon when their two daughters fall sick and die. In the movie the Mom is having a hard time with her loss......and a minister brings out a little boy who has lost his parents. The Mom keeps comparing him to her little girls who were sweet and cuddly......while the boy is ALL boy! She finally tells her husband to take the boy back to the minister but on the way to town he changes his mind and takes him back home. The boy sneaks some of the girls toys out of the house to the barn and sets up a nativity scene......and she overhears him talking about the baby Jesus. She realizes that he had been some other mother's child and needs a family and she then realizes that he needs her and she needs him. It's a very touching ending. I used to get movies from Feature Family Films which is from the Mormon church. They made some of their own movies and they were very good family movies. Several of them are still our family favorites.
