I don't know if there's a thread already started ............ but my favorite Christmas Movie is

Home Alone

TripperFan · 12-22-2008, 04:21 PM

It would have to be a toss-up between A Christmas Story and It's a Wonderful Life.

Sara Micelli · 12-22-2008, 04:35 PM

Shouldn't this go in the movies forum?

I thought that at first. But it is Christmas and Christmas threads are on the main Chit Chat page. So it may be appropriate for it to be in this forum.

Very favorite? Probably National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!

I really enjoy Home Alone 1 & 2. I have not seen the others. I also like A Christmas Story. It is definitely a Christmas classic.

The 1951 version of Scrooge starring Alistair Simm

PunkyP0WER · 12-22-2008, 10:57 PM

1. MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET - 1947 (what can I say...my absolute fav. of any movie holiday or non holiday. Edmund Gwenn is Santa!)
2. SCROOGE (ALASTAIR SIM VERSION) 1951 - Sim is the definitive Scrooge out of any version made. His redemption is inspiring. I always put it on when I feel bad about myself or society and I end up feeling refreshed)
3. NATIONAL LAMPOONS CHRISTMAS VACATION - just laugh out loud fun.
4. HOME ALONE - another fun movie but also sincere. i love when Kevin runs to him mom at the end! brings a tear to my eye.
5. A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS - expresses my feelings toward xmas exactly and puts the season in perspective.
6. RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER - wouldn't be xmas with out his blinking beacon! so endearing!
7. GARFIELD CHRISTMAS SPECIAL - for a cartoon, the part where garfield is sitting on grandmas lap makes me cry everytime. i also love the music in this.
8. A CHRISTMAS CAROL (GEORGE C. SCOTT) VERSION - a close second to Sim's portryal.
9. PRANCER - such a sweet movie.
10. HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS - another fun movie. my 2 fav. lines: "maybe xmas he thought doesn't come from a store...maybe christmas perhaps means a little bit more" "welcome christmas while we stand, heart to heart and hand in hand"
11. THE REF - lot of vulgarity but the dysfunction sums up my family.
12. MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS - all the muppets in one place makes for lots of laughs and smiles

I can not pick one I like more than the other.

It's a Wonderful Life followed very closely by A Christmas Story.

Prancer is a great Christmas movie as well.

TripperFan · 12-23-2008, 07:49 PM

I got a kick out of Christmas Vacation (the cat munching the lights scene cracks me up every time).

I think my "new" favourite would be The Polar Express. I've got an HDTV and it on Blu-Ray is absolutely incredible - looks almost 3D. Plus the story is fantastic too. Unfortunately, up until a couple of years ago, I could always hear the bells myself - now I can't and it makes me sad.
