Just watched 'Elf' last night with the family. Might watch "Christmas vacation" tonight.
Any of you have a favorite Christmas movie?

The Christmas Carol....in all its versions and the Bill Murray modern rip off Scrooged ("It was the Minnow, James.")

Love Actually

No favorite, but my brother-in-law and sister-in-law have a tradition to watch Bing Crosby;s "White Christmas" every year on Christmas Eve. Including the one when they visited us a few years ago. I enjoyed it as a "classic".

A Christmas Story

(I'm still waiting for my Red Ryder BB Gun - with a compass in the stock.)

And no, I won't shoot my eye out!

My wife and I love them all. The sappier the better.

Yes, but I can't seem to find it on anymore.

Wizard of Oz. I just can't get enough flying monkeys.

Did you know that was a mistake? The real gun never had a compass.

Did you know it was directed by the same guy who brought you Porky's?

12 Things You Might Not Know About A Christmas Story (Even Though You've Seen It 90 Times)

 

[Buzzyboy]

It's A Wonderful Life is probably the best Christmas season movie ever. I really like Miracle on 34th Street with John Payne and Maureen O'Hara but Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed own Christmas, as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Fightin Choke]

I LOVE It's a Wonderful Life. If going animated, I always likes the Grinch and Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.

We just watched Christmas in Conway, a Hallmark movie. It was great! Also reccomend Season of Miracles, Fallen Angel,The Christmas Blessing, and of course, the all-time classic, A Christmas Story!

Home Alone

 

[Icebear]

Too many to list.

An American Christmas Carol with Henry Winkler
A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott
One Magic Christmas with Mary Steenburgen and Harry Dean Stanton

Agreed!

I've never seen A Wonderful Life. Will have to change that some day.

Scrooge. The musical, British version, with Albert Finney. Made circa 1970, when he was young, & he played both the young and the old Scrooge with great panache. The songs are wonderful - a musical that the British DID RIGHT. And the lengthy production number at the end, after Scrooge is redeemed, is just a delight

It's a Wonderful Life
Miracle on 34th Street
A Christmas Story
Love Actually

Pretty much have to see them every year.

Heard an interview with Peter Billingsley (local radio station up here for their Mayflower Marathon). He said he was able to get a couple props from the set, the BB gun and the Bunny suit. Said he got them appraised and was told he could sell them for 6 figures.

Love Ralphie and A Christmas Story....but also have to watch Moonstruck every year. It may not seem like a Christmas movie, but if you watch the backgrounds, the stores and Lincoln Center are decorated for Christmas. A must watch movie! A holiday tradition for my husband and myself.

A Chritmas Story - gotta love that lamp!
