Christmas movies
 

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

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:

WHAT:eek:

Get on it....coming from our generation you should love it.

although it is set a bit before our time

planes, trains and automobiles i allways watch.
national lampoons xmas vaction another must watch every year.
home alone
bad santa
mixed nuts
scrooge
it's a wonderful life
the snowman
black xmas (to finnish things of :D)

Die Hard & A Christmas Carol (1951) are two of my favourite Christmas movies. I'll probably watch some of these too....

Gremlins
Black Christmas
A Nightmare Before Christmas
Scrooged

And lots more I've forgotten about.

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


My favorites:

• Scrooge (1951), with Alastair Sim - My absolute favorite version of A Christmas Carol
• Scrooged (1988) <----- With Bill Murray!!
• Elf (2003)
• The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
• A Christmas Story (1983)
• Home Alone (1990)

I also have to tip my hat to:

• Black Christmas (1974) (one of the best horror movies ever, IMO)
• Die Hard (1988)
• Night of the Comet (1984) <---- New Year's instead of Christmas, but close enough...

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)

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.

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

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.

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

ha......I use to wait every year for that one too.

My family has a tradition of watching It's A Wonderful Life every Christmas Eve. I also enjoy watching A Muppet's Christmas Carol.

This year i'm also doing a christmas horror movie marathon including these movies:

Silent Night, Deadly Night 1 - 5
Christmas Evil
Jack Frost
Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale
Black Christmas
Gremlins

If anyone else has some Christmas related horror movies, let me know.

Mum & Dad.

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

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

:D

Their Christmas get together is a great scene.

Tales from the crypt -- "And all through the house..."

Cool. Thanks man.

bad santa
all; hallmark movies
santa claws

"Santa's Slay" dude....http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0393685/ got Goldberg as a killer Santa......good stuff

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)

Black Christmas (original) is my favorite Christmas movie.

:D

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

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:

That's awesome.:D

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

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

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

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

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!!

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.

Is it Ernest Saves Christmas? :D

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