    Favorite Christmas movies

    There are two threads, one for favorite Christmas song and one for un-favorite Christmas song. Can I please ask, what's your favorite Christmas film(s)? My family was talking about this on Thanksgiving and we came up with several.

    My favorite "new" Christmas movie is Elf, with Will Ferrell and Zooey Deschanel. My all-time ever favorite Christmas movie is "It's A Wonderful Life". I haven't seen the movie of "Polar Express", but I love the book.

    Anyone else?


    Thanks,

    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    How the Grinch Stole Christmas cartoon, of course! For years I have asked for the DVD, but NOONE ever gets it for me

    A VERY close second is A Christmas Story

    Me too!! And that's why I was Cindy Lou Who for Halloween this year. Well, also because tons of people call me Cindy Lou Who.

    I also love the classic movies; Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, Frost the Snowman, Santa Claus is Coming to Town and The Little Drummer Boy.

    My mom's favorite is It's a Wonderful Life.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. It's on tonight!! I also love National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It's the kind of movie you can watch over and over without getting sick of it.

    I must admit, I have never sat through the whole movie (i.e Its a Wonderful life)... it seems to bore me a bit in the middle, but I do enjoy the ending!

    In A christmas story, I always laugh at the little boy in the bunny outfit! I bought one for Billy kitty just because of that show

    I love Cindy Lou Who... Could she get any cuter??


    Thank you so much Michelle!

    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.

    It's a BB gun, not a rifle, lol.

    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
