So I got to thinking,since it is Christmas season now,what are some of your favorite Christmas movies? I like some that deal with the Christmas spirit.

Joyeux Noel

A Christmas Carol

It's A Wonderful Life

Noelle

Christmas Vacation by far.

I show my students the 1953 version of A Christmas Carol. Alistair Sim nails the role of Scrooge in that one.

AMC has been showing Home Alone all week. That movie doesn't ever get old.

I used to like watching A Christmas Story, but after seeing it on tv repeatedly all Christmas Eve the last two years, it does get a bit tired.

I finally saw this recently and thought it was pretty good. Some of the humor is not my cup of tea but oh well.

I haven't seen the '53 version in a looooong time. I have thought about picking that up from the store to put with my other Christmas flicks I have.

Yeah,I love Home Alone. Just watched that again yesterday.

I know what you mean about A Christmas Story. I saw that on TV last year too...multiple times. Otherwise it is pretty good.

Please tell me this wasn't your first time ever seeing Christmas Vacation.

I may have seen it some time back. If I did it was so long ago that I don't recall it.The most of what seemed familiar is what is shown in the trailer.

There have been a few movies that had seen and knew I had seen them but couldn't remember anything about them. This is probably/possibly one of a few that I don't even remember seeing before.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and it's not even close!

 

[planomateo]

How many of you have caught this in the movie?

Cops come in, she shakes the hand, then places her hand right back...I didn't catch it the first few times I watched the movie.

 

[JoshB]

^^^ lol yes one of the subtle things that's so hilarious. Eddie is the highlight of the movie. We all have a cousin Eddie lol

 

[Hardkore]

Yeah,I actually noticed that.

 

[Crimson&WhiteGecko]

Jingle All The Way for me...

 

[bamaraider]

I saw Elf again. Thought that was a pretty good movie. More of a comedy guy, so cheesy Christmas movies aren't really in my interest.

 

[Hardkore]

I still haven't seen Elf. Mainly because Will Ferrell is in it. Most of his movies I can't stand. The only one I am OK with kinda is Anchorman.

^ Practically all of those are definitely must see every year at Christmas. Nice list. Most of them I see on TV every year and one I have on Blu-Ray. I want to get a few more on BD before next season.
