Favorite Christmas Movie - Page 2

pajama · 12-12-2010, 07:27 PM

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.

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.

Jet · 12-13-2010, 09:29 PM

Nester, The Long-Eared Donkey

Enchantress · 12-13-2010, 09:33 PM

Pure perfection.

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

Sunny · 12-13-2010, 11:02 PM

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.

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

Scrooged is one of my faves...it makes me laugh and cry with joy!

Oh, and I adore the entire claymation series--Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, A Year without Santa Clause, and Rudolph's Shiney New Year!
