Favorite Christmas Movie

WolfyOne · 12-12-2010, 04:50 PM

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

lipstixgal · 12-12-2010, 04:54 PM

Oh, I forgot about Polar Express, love that one too. I have a ton of different Christmas movies, chuckles.

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.

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.

My favorite would be christmas carol. Have to love the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future.

*Anya* · 09-18-2011, 02:07 PM

Love Actually- absolutely adore it. I have watched it so many times and never get tired of it.

All I want for Christmas is you, is also on my IPhone. Listen to it year-round

For totally bad taste but funny: Bad Santa. Cracks me up.

Charlie Brown Christmas

Amber2010 · 09-18-2011, 03:01 PM

"How the Grinch Stole Christmas" The cartoon one. I watch it ...
Well let's just say more then once every year and sing with the music every time. Ha Ha
I do like the one Jim Carey was in as well and the little girl who sang that
song just brought tears to my eyes.
What was the name of that song again? Ha Ha Ha

theoddz · 12-12-2010, 06:21 PM

I have 2 favorites....... A Christmas Story and Polar Express.

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.

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
