    A Christmas Story
    A Muppet Christmas Carol (for that matter most Christmas Carol movies)
    Christmas Vacation
    How the Grinch Stole Christmas - both movie and cartoon
    Bernard and the Genie

    I also love to go the University of TN Theater to see their production of A Christmas Carol. We haven't been for several years so I'd love to go this year to help me get in the spirit.

    I'm not really sure. All I know is that I absolutely hate the one with the kid who wants a rifle for Christmas. I will never ever sit through that one more time.

    I love A Christmas Story (we have it as a 24 hr marathon over here on the one TV station!!! ). I love Christmas Vacation as well.


    I have a thing about the Polar Express, and Olive, the other Reindeer. They are based on books, and I just have issues with movies made from books. They never follow the story exactly, and that ticks me off. I mean, the Polar Express is 32-48 pages long. How are you gonna get a MOVIE outta that one?! I just refuse to watch them.. Maybe if I saw the movies before I became a librarian and didn't know the book, I'd be better about it, lol.

    I didn't know Olive was a kid's book. I saw the cartoon one year and I like it because it wasn't 'cartoony'-the drawings were off and not in the typical cartoon style.

    Yep, it's better to see the flicks first.

    The other thing is the way a director makes his version of a movie.

    Polar Express just creeped me out. I didn't like the way the movie looked.

    The one that comes to mind is the version of A Christmas Carol with Alistair Sim as Scrooge. I like that one.

    There is not a particular movie that comes to mind, but I love all the classic christmas cartoons (the ones from the 30s & 40s). I always managed to catch them on TV each year while growing up.
    My favorite was always "Christmas Comes But Once Each Year".

    I would absolutely love to have this DVD! I just might buy it for myself this year. :-D

    They filmed the "Grinch" movie out here in Simi Valley, CA. The housing was built next to the hills, a flipping purple color that you could see from the freeway and you could not ignore it. I remember driving past it and knowing what it was-out here any huge production that throws the world out of balance scares everyone-and wondering what people living in the area thought.

    Another two movies that I saw and loved are, "Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence" That was a movie set in a POW camp run by the Japanese during WWII and
    "Midnight Clear", that movie was about a truce between American and German soldiers during Christmas, Quirky movies but worth a look!

    I also hate "A Christmas Story" - I always have. It's just not a real Christmas movie to me.

    My all time favourite movie (not just Christmas movie) is "One Magic Christmas."

    Some other favourites are "Prancer" and "Muppet Chirstmas Carol," and more recently "Polar Express."

    Of course I always love "Rudolph!!!"

    I love Rudolph the Red Nosed Raindeer. Watched it every year with the kids and my daugher who is 22 still comes over and watches it with me.
    Also the Polar Express is just so lovely as is A Christmas Story.
    Little Ralph is a cutie.
