Christmas Movies

[Tubby]

My wife has been watching Christmas movies all weekend. I started thinking about some of my favorite Christmas movies. My favorite has to be Christmas Vacation, I can recite every line from the movie. So you know mine. What's yours?

Hmmm, let's see:
A Christmas Carol (George C. Scott version, seemed closer to the original Dickens)
Christmas Story
White Christmas
("My dear friend, when what's left of you gets around to what's left to be gotten; what's left to be gotten won't be worth getting whatever it is you have left" Danny Kaye )
Holiday Inn
A Charlie Brown Christmas
Scrooged

"A Christmas Carol (George C. Scott version, seemed closer to the original Dickens)"

Good call, my favorite.

"A Christmas Story" - Jean Shepard used to be on the radio at WOR in NYC. On the way home from my weekend work at Linden Airport, I always used to listen to him. A great story teller!

White Christmas for me

Scrooged for me

A Christmas Carol, starring Alistar Sim. The second version of this movie ever made, and for me by far the best. Second place goes to the Reginald Owen version.

Modern movies, well, I guess there are only two I care about- Ralphie (A Christmas Story), and Scrooged.

I'm with Tubby, we watch that movie every year, classic!

It's a Wonderful Life is a classic, so that gets my vote.

However, my wife's all-time favorite movie (Christmas-related or not) is Home Alone, so that plays at our house a lot. It's as much a Christmas movie as it is an expose on how not to raise your kids. Speaking of movies that use Christmas a backdrop for an unrelated storyline, is Gremlins too much of a stretch for a Christmas movie? (or Die Hard? :lol: )

"A Christmas Story" "You'll shoot your eye out kid"

For Thanksgiving, "Dutch"

Gotta be " A Christmas Story". I read his whole book " In God We Trust, All others Pay Cash". It
is hilarious!

I love "A Christmas Story" and have several ornaments for our tree from the movie. But I have to admit that my all-time favorite is The Muppet's "Christmas Carol". I simply love the movie and The Muppets!

Christmas Story and Scrooged are good christmas themed movies.

However, the best christmas movie was Die Hard! (easy to forget the christmas theme there)

"All right, listen up guys. 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except... the four a**holes coming in the rear in standard two-by-two cover formation."
