What are your fave Christmas movies?
Here're mine:

• It's a Wonderful Life
• The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus (recent animated one)
• A Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart version)
• The Kid Who Loved Christmas
• Home Alone (the 1st one's the only good one)

Its a Wonderful Life
Santa Clause the Movie
Christmas Carol (George C Scott version)
A Christmas Story
Elf
Clamation Christmas

A Muppet Christmas Carol
Miracle on 34th Street(the one from the 90s)
Tha Santa Claus
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (animated and movie version)
The Nightmare Before Christmas

how about the clasics?

meet me in st louis
holliday inn (gasp, its in black and white!)
christmas in connecticut

but i do love its a wonderful life
(can't stand the home alone movies)

Its a Wonderful Life is the only good Christmas movie I can think of. Most are horrible and sentimentally sappy and dare I say it quite American and I don't get them. (lol)

A Christmas Story. Without a doubt.

Kid, you'll shoot your eye out.

Also, the only one of the National Lampoon movies I really enjoyed was Christmas Vacation.

I don't know if too many people on here have seen it, but my absolute favorite is Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol. ^_^

What!? Noone has mentioned Santa Claus conquers the Martians?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer:

Now you come to elf practice, learn how to wiggle your ears and chuckle warmly and go hee-hee and ho-ho and important stuff like that!

"Charlie Brown Christmas" and "It's Christmas Time Again, Charlie Brown"

Jingle All the Way with Schwartzenneger (spelling?) was funny in an off-beat sorta way too.

A Christmas Story.

It isn't Christmas unless I watch that movie. To prove that it is the greatest Christmas movie of all time, I point out TNT's "24 hours of A Christmas Story." NO other Christmas movie other than that one gets shown 24 hours straight each year. Proving it is the best.

I also like Santa Claus Conquers the Martians as well as the lesser known Santa Clause, a Mexican production, I believe, in which Santa lives in a magical castle built on the clouds, breaks child labor laws (since he has no elves), the reindeer are all mechanical robots, and he has a crystal ball through which he watches your dreams every night.

Yeah. It's creepy. Also, Santa's greatest enemy is apparently Satan. It's the truth, watch the movie.

the grench /... the original.

They ran it last year on Cartoon Network.It was the first time in literally decades I had seen it.Probably one of the best retellings of the Dickens
Classic,and done by cartoons to boot!

A Muppet Christmas Carol
A Charlie Brown Christmas
The Snowman (Have any of you heard of this? I really love it but these days most people haven't heard of it.)

A Christmas Story has to be one of my favorites. I will never get over that leg lamp and how the dad pronounces fragile "frageelay"." ROFL

I also like the Grinch (I like the animated the best but the movie one is good too). Also those old school christmas cartoons like Frosty the Snowman and the Rudolph one where the elf wants to be a dentist. Those shows remind me of when I was a kid.

Miracle on 34th Street (either version)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (cartoon)
The Santa Clause
Elf
Any of those old claymation movies (although baby New Year freaks me out... ^^;; )

And for some reason I despise 'A Christmas Story.' I don't really quite know why. But I have found that people either despise that movie, or it's (one of) their favorite Christmas movie(s) ever, something I've always thought interresting.

I've heard of the Snowman. That's Russian right? And I forgot the Nightmare Before Christmas. The Grinch was good too. I love that song!

The Nightmare Before Christmas for me.
I am completely neutral towards most other Christmas movies, though I found National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation somewhat amusing.

A Christmas Story
Elf
Tokyo Godfathers
The Grinch (original)
Nightmare Before Christmas

I guess I would say that's my top 5. There are plenty of other good Christmas movies too. Christmas is teh r0x0rs!11one lol

I just checked, and it is British.

I also enjoy watching the Grinch(the animated one). There was a tv movie on not too long ago called "the man who saved Christmas". It was actually pretty good. Has anyone else here seen it? and yes, there's no denying A Christmas Story as one of the great classic Christmas movies.

Oh yeah, we can't forget about Kiss Saves Christmas!

"Everybody knows pterodactyls can't stand the sound of a guitar wailing!"

I remember seeing part of that one... That was some crazy stuff...

I actually liked the 2nd on better, myself.

My favorite holiday movie that comes to mind is The Santa Clause.

Oh yeah. Scrooged is another great movie, one of Bill Murray's best. I feel I must watch that again this year, too.

Oh! I forgot about that one! It was great! I haven't seen it in a long time, though.

I love all the really old claymation moves, to bad they never show them anymore.

Bill Murray is kewl.

I was starting to get worried that no one would mention that. The Snowman is hands down my all-time favorite Christmas film. Absolutely beautiful.

I think Disney pulls ye olde claymation movies out of the closet and shows them on ABC family, at least I saw previews for them. So many memories of those from when I was little.
