Wingnut Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 White Christmas since I was a little girl. More modern, however, The Family Stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl62 Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Just got done watching 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation'. Couldn't stop laughing the entire time.:) A Christmas Story and The Santa Claus are two other favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) Pam, you're not going to like me today... I really really really love the movie Love, Actually - it is Rated-R though, so don't watch it unless you can get the edited version. What I like about it - it shows all forms of love - brother/sister, husband/wife, workmates, best friends, kid crush, stepfather and son, a celebrity and his agent, a couple with language barrier, even the Prime Minister and what they have done to rise above the challenges - all set at Christmas time.

pam Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Now why wouldn't I like you today? I certainly wouldn't stop liking someone because of their choice of a movie. Do you honestly think I've never seen an R rated movie? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Godless Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I also really like Love, Actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 You know..I have never seen that movie. How sad is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwibabee Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I have never seen A wonderful Life either.... My favourite Christmas movie as to be Scrooged followed my A Christmas Story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moksha Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Toss up between It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story and A Christmas Carol (the one with Patrick Stewart is my favorite of these although the Gerorge C. Scott version was very good too).But when you get down to it, nothing says Christmas like a triple dog dare that ends in a tongue stuck to the flag poll, the Bumpkiss' dogs eating the Christmas Dinner so that a Chinese Restaurant becomes the next logical setting, a burlesque leg lamp from the American Legion Post and a Red Ryder BB gun.

Churchmouse Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm with Pam. The 1947 "Miracle On 34Th Street". There have been several remakes, but none are as good as the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanMan Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 You know..I have never seen that movie. How sad is that?I am shocked. I thought everyone had seen it. I highly recommend that this year you take the time to see it. It is my all time favorite movie. It always makes me thankful for my life while at the same time pushes me to do better. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyonthewall Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 A Christmas Story, of course, but close runners up are A Wonderful Life, and Miracle on 34th street..the old version. An honorable mention goes out to Die hard :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenamarie Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Oh gosh, there are so many classic Christmas movies I've never seen: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation A Christmas Story Miracle on 34th Street The Bells of St. Mary's Santa Claus is Coming to Town Frosty the Snowman Oh, but I need to change my "modern" favorite Christmas film from "Elf" to "Muppet Christmas Carol"! That movie is hillarious, and I LOVE the sound track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkenheimer Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm with John Doe, Die Hard is the greatest Christmas move of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Die Hard! Yeah, I loved that one too. The first one and only the first one. Okay, maybe the last one too. All because I'm such a big mac fan and I enjoyed Justin Long on something more than his 30 second commercials... I didn't see a most hated Christmas Movie thread... and I have to say it is this newest A Christmas Carol that tops my list of my most hated movies! HATED THAT MOVIE! We were so excited to see it too! My entire family - including sister's family and my mother went to see it on IMAX 3D. We had kids from 3 years to 11 years old with us too. IT WAS NOT A CHRISTMAS MOVIE - IT WAS A HALLOWEEN MOVIE! I was so scared it gave me nightmares! The little kids were crying. I usually don't use the word hate (too strong) but this time, I'm using it. I hate that movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bini Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Gosh. I don't think I really have a favourite Christmas movie. I need to get one! Hrm.. But I guess if I had to make a choice I'd go with, A Christmas Carol, with George C. Scott because that's the one movie I recall watching almost every Holiday season while growing up.

Vort Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 How the Grinch Stole Christmas -- the Chuck Jones animation, not the loathsome live-action abomination of a few years ago. This is the definitive Christmas TV special. Nothing else even comes close. (Well, okay, maybe a really good A Christmas Carol comes close. That would not include the Mr. Magoo version.)
