Christmas movies

[hammerfan]

I know that Halloween is the preferred holiday, but I do love me some Christmas movies. What's your favorite? Mine is a tie between "White Christmas" (I watch it every Christmas Eve) and "It's A Wonderful Life".

A Christmas Story
Christmas Vacation
Scrooge---with George C Scott
Die Hard
Lethal Weapon
Santa's Slay

[hammerfan]

newb, you reminded me of another one: A Christmas Carol (1951 version with Alastair Sim)

I also like The Holiday with Jude Law and Kate Winslet. Yeah, I know, it's a sappy love story, but for some reason I really like it.

Do you know I've never seen A Christmas Story?! :eek:

AHHHHHHHH! HF YOU NEED TO SEE A CHRISTMAS STORY!!!!!!!!!


My favorites:

Scrooge (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044008/) (1951), with Alastair Sim - My absolute favorite version of A Christmas Carol
Scrooged (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096061/) (1988) <----- With Bill Murray!!
Elf (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319343/) (2003)
The Muppet Christmas Carol (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104940/) (1992)
A Christmas Story (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085334/) (1983)
Home Alone (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099785/) (1990)


I also have to tip my hat to:

Black Christmas (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071222/) (1974) (one of the best horror movies ever, IMO)
Die Hard (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095016/) (1988)
Night of the Comet (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087799/) (1984) <---- New Year's instead of Christmas, but close enough...

[TheWickerFan]

I'll repeat what others have mentioned, A Christmas Story is a must see!! Darren McGavin is wonderful as the father.

I've always been fond of:

A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim
Miracle On 34th Street (the original)
March Of The Wooden Soldiers (with Laurel and Hardy)

and the horror:

Black Christmas
Gremlins
And All Through The House (Tales From The Crypt)

[neverending]

My favorite version of A Christmas Carol has always been the Mr. Magoo one... yes, I'm serious...

Not a movie, but Pee Wee's Christmas Special is... well... special.

[ZombieDrone]

Muppets Christmas Carol
Die Hard
Black Christmas
Possibly Silent Night, Deadly Night.

[fortunato]

Not a movie, but Pee Wee's Christmas Special is... well... special.

Oh yeah, I always watch that.

Charlie Brown Christmas, too, of course.

And some of the Rankin/Bass specials, like Rudolph and Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

[fortunato]

Oh, and I do still watch The Nightmare Before Christmas every year, too.

Doesn't really sound like a christmas horror movie from its description but i'll take your word for it.

Oh i forgot, i'm also watching Santa Claus Conquers The Martians

[Elvis_Christ]

Think I saw A Christmas Story on TV as kid... not sure but it sounds familiar.

Their Christmas get together is a great scene.

[Fearonsarms]

They were before my time but were shown originally on the BBC at xmas-the MR James adaptations!(for example-Whistle and I'll Come To You and Lost Hearts)

[are_you_sad]

Black Christmas (original) is my favorite Christmas movie.

:D

[crazy raplh]

I also like the remake, eating eyeballs seems like a great christmas treat

[Ferox13]

I watch Christmas EVil every year...very strange Horror flick...

Last year I put together this DVD which I made a copy of for a few friends:

Just got Christmas Evil in the mail today from Netflix. I'll probably watch it tomorrow. I've never seen it before.

[MichaelMyers]

That's awesome.:D

A great stocking stuffer indeed! Wish I could purchase a copy!

[crabapple]

Home Alone, and Die Hard...and the Rankin Bass Rudolph TV special. And A Charlie Brown Christmas. You gotta have, you know, a variety.

And you gotta have something hot to drink like hot cocoa, or warm apple cider! ooooo yeah

[hammerfan]

Ok guys, I just watched A Christmas Story - you're right, it's awesome. Now I'm watching White Christmas.

[ChronoGrl]

Yay! Glad you finally saw it! :)

Just watched Elf (which makes me so happy) and now I'm watching Scgrooge with Alastair Sim.

Aaaahhhh, my favorite version!! Alistair Sim is brilliant!!

[cheebacheeba]

Still not sure what it was, but I recall a Christmas movie perhaps made in the 90's (a lot of people think I'm talking about "Elf" though I am not, this was somewhat before Elf), that had a plotline of Santas sleigh crash landing in a large park in a city, and the main kid in the film having to fix it or some such...
Nothing really outstanding about it, I've just been wondering.

I'll be *not* watching Christmas films today. Just started "falling skies" and "It's always sunny in Philadelphia", might catch a few more of those between feedings, and perhaps I'll start Game of Thrones as well.

[ChronoGrl]

Is it Ernest Saves Christmas? :D

[cheebacheeba]

Not sure, will have to look into that.
The only memories of ANY Ernest movies are pretty faint.
