Favorite Christmas Movie
When you finish your Christmas shopping and are tired, all you want to do is relax in your favorite chair. You sit in front of the tv and on comes a Christmas movie old or new. Tonight I watched White Christmas (1954) with Bing Crosby. Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen. This is one of my favorite Christmas movies. So I wondered what is yours.:cc::present::santa1:

Emmit Otter's Jugband Christmas
and A Christmas Story |
It's a Wonderful Life. I love this movie so much I bought it on dvd.
~~~shark~~~~~~~~ |
It's hard to pick just one. For classics, Miracle on 34th Street is awesome. For more modern choices, I love the Santa Claus trilogy with Tim Allen.
|
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" reminds me so much of the holiday insanity in my house when I was a kid. I especially love the line: "It's Christmas, we're all miserable."
|
The Greatest Story Ever Told
|
I always watched "The Bells of St. Mary's"
|
|
Oh... whoops... you said MOVIE! not music... :doh:
|
There are two movies that I will watch over and over again for Christmas: A Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Ah, the memories.
|
Smoky Mountain Christmas, A Christmas Story and National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
|
I don't have a personal favorite because I grew up watching all the old ones made in the 40's and 50's and liked them all.
I do however enjoy watching Polar Express this time of year |
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is funny so its my favorite...
|
How the Grinch Stole Christmas...the cartoon or the movie, I love either version...lol

my all time favorite
Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey (TV 1977) http://a.media.abcfamily.go.com/abcf...or_440x270.jpg |
It's A Wonderful Life. I've always related to Jimmy Stewart and said if I ever had a guardian angel it would probably be someone like Clarence, lol.
For a good laugh you can't beat Ralphie in A Christmas Story. |
I have 2 favorites....... A Christmas Story and Polar Express. :winky:
One other one that I also like...some folks might or might not classify it as a "Christmas" movie, but I remember the television stations showing it around Christmas time. It is "Ben Hur" with Charleton Heston. ~Theo~ :bouquet: |
It's a Wonderful Life.
It's actually what gives me my "faith". As an atheist, I can't fall back on "It's god's will" or "God will make it better" when things go wrong or get tough. But what I fall back on is that we may not understand why things happen and we may not be able to see an effect. But like George's brother that he saved from falling through the ice, there was a ripple effect that noone was aware of until that one event didn't happen. So I just trust that whatever happens, there is some person that will affect some person that will affect some person, and that outcome is why this or that had to happen. And then just for fun and whimsy I love ALL the Santa Clause movies with Tim Allen. A |
Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas (all time favorite!)
Its A Wonderful Life Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey The Muppets Christmas Carol The Year Without A Santa Claus |
What a great list of films. I forgot some of them. Here is another one that I like and I haven't seen it in a long time. It is Scrooge (1970)with Albert Finney. I love Alec Guinness as Marley's ghost. Very cool. Yes this one is a musical too, not that all Christmas films should be musicals.:sunglass:

Nester, The Long-Eared Donkey
|
The Bishops Wife.
Pure perfection. Cary Grant David Niven and Loretta Young |
The Holly and the Ivy. Not in print, unfortunately. Celia Johnson and Ralph Richardson.

And The Grinch - animated version |
A long time favorite
I've watched A Christmas Story at least once every year since I was a kid and I still love it. What I love even more is knowing the lines to the movie...not necessarily saying them out loud, but knowing them :)

Christmas
My all time favorite film is Scrooge with Alister Sim. It is kind of scary the way it was filmed. I would have a few drinks on Christmas eve and watch this.
Also I like Polar Express, It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th St. They help my Christmas spirit. It reminds me to believe. |
Ralphie!! and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with Burl Ives |
The cartoon version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966).
|
One that I like is, The Nightmare Before Christmas
|
Da Da Da Da GRINCH :)

Holiday Inn
Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire star in Holiday Inn as a popular nightclub song-and-dance team. When his heart is broken by his girlfriend, Crosby decides to retire from the hustle-bustle of big city showbiz. He purchases a rustic New England farm and converts it to an inn, which he opens to the public (floor show and all) only on holidays. This barely logical plot device allows ample space for a steady flow of Irving Berlin holiday songs (including an incredible blackface number in honor of Lincoln's Birthday). Oddly enough, the most memorable song in the bunch, the Oscar-winning White Christmas, is not offered as a production number but as a simple ballad sung by Crosby to an audience of one: leading lady Marjorie Reynolds. Fred Astaire's best moment is his Fourth of July firecracker dance. Ah, but what about the plot? Well, it seems that Astaire wants to make a film about Crosby's inn, starring their mutual discovery Reynolds. Bing briefly loses Reynolds to Astaire, but wins her back during the filming of a musical number on a Hollywood soundstage (eleven years earlier, Bing enjoyed a final clinch with Marion Davies under surprisingly similar conditions in Going Hollywood). As with most of Irving Berlin's "portfolio" musicals of the 1940s, the song highlights of Holiday Inn are too numerous to mention. This delightful film is far superior to its unofficial 1954 remake, White Christmas. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
