Is that movie good? I've heard about it, but I've never seen it.
Black Christmas ('74) is a slasher classic, a must-see if you're into scary movies.

[treky]

A couple of other movies that have a Christmas scene but are not holiday
movies per se:

"Lady and the Tramp"
"Gremlins"
also:
DIE HARD
DIE HARD 2: DIE HARDER
LETHAL WEAPON

the first one and the second one take place on Christmas eve, and the 3rd one starts one or two days before Christmas, and ends on Christmas eve.

[Ohio8]

1)"It's a Wonderful Life"
2)"Miracle on 34th Street" (1940s one.)
3)"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"
4)"Bad Santa" (this one has John Ritter in it.)

[PlayOn]

'A Christmas Story', hands down. I watch when TBS (correct me if I'm wrong) does the 24 hour marathon.
'National Lampoons Christmas Vaction' is a close second
'Miricle on 34th Street', the one with Elizabeth Perkins as the Mom. I haven't seen the old one.
I'm sure I'd enoy 'It's A Wonderful Life' if I would stop falling asleep.
And tons others that I can't think of.

[treky]

for years; I've always wondered WHY everyone considers "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE" to be a Christmas movie. It's only the begining and end that take place at Christmas; the rest takes place all throughout the year.
Now, I consider "DIE HARD" & "DIE HARD 2: DIE HARDER" to be Christmas movies, since they're both set on Christmas eve.

Gah where to start, i like basically any movie about christmas.. even the really bad/cheesy ones.. I guess i'd have to say my all time favorite classic Christmas movie is White Christmas which i watched on ABC family on friday after thanksgiving to officially kick off the season.. Favorite recent Christmas movie would have to be Polar Express which is also coming on ABC family...thank god for 25 Days of Christmas!

[friendsfan77]

A couple of other movies that have a Christmas scene but are not holiday
movies per se:
Trading Spaces would make this part of the list for me.

[friendsfan77]

'A Christmas Story', hands down. I watch when TBS (correct me if I'm wrong) does the 24 hour marathon.
Both TBS and TNT have done at least one day-long marathon of this movie. Lately it has been TBS though.

[*ClassicPinUp*]

I have tons but the only ones coming to mind right now are;
1) Miracle on 34th Street; one with Natalie Wood
2) The Santa Clause with Tim Allen (only the 1st and 2nd; the 3rd was stupid.)
3) The Polar Express; love this one!

[cablejockey]

One of my favorite holiday movies is One Magic Christmas with Mary Steenbergen and Harry Dean Stanton. Its not seen so much as the others mentioned, so I havent gotten tired of it yet.

[phoebe7165]

Pretty much what everybody else had listed -

A Christmas Story(to this day, I still can't see the word 'fragile' on a box and not think FRAG-GEL-LAY!!)

Miracle on 34th Street(the original, I cannot seem to watch any other version)

Elf

Trading Places

It's a Wonderful Life**

**From King of Queens:

Arthur's observation on It's a Wonderful Life -

Arthur:"I think this one is a swing & a miss."
Carrie:"What are you talking about? This is a classic."
Arthur:"With George Bailey alive, the town couldn't be more dull, if he had never been born, there's casinos & nightclubs, it's fantastic!! I wish George Bailey were dead."

[ClassicTVGal]

Actually TNT does it the most.

The Christmas Story (of course)
Garfield's Christmas

My family, always liked 'A Charlie Brown Christmas', but I don't watch it has much.

But my favorite now is "The Christmas List" starring Mimi Rogers that airs during ABCFamily's 25 Days of Christmas.

But I like Home Alone One and Two. And I guess a couple others...

[Tubehead]

"HOME ALONE 2" is just a remake of "HOME ALONE" just with a different setting.

[catlover79]

You're right. I've always contended it wasn't a sequel at all, but a rehash. :lol:

[ClassicTVGal]

Not a favorite, but a fairly good Christmas TV-Movie is: "The Christmas Card" with Ed Asner. I watched most of it last night. It premiered last year on The Hallmark Channel. Tonight I may watch "A Grandfather for Christmas" to see what it's like since I missed it last week when it aired.

Also the "Meet The Santas" and it's 'pre-quel' (forgot the title) is good.

[Dean Winchester]
