Christmas/Holiday Movies

[Sgt. Crackpot]

List/talk about your favourite Christmas movies.

Without fail, every year I watch with my kids:

• Santa Claus: The Movie
  A Christmas Story
  The Polar Express
  National Lampoons Christmas Vacation (OK, my kids don't watch this one)

And sometimes:

• Bad Santa
  Scrooged
  Die Hard

There's a number of classic versions of A Christmas Carol that I always loved

A Christmas Carol (with Alastair Simm) from 1951

Scrooge (with Albert Finney) from 1970, a musical!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066344/


two of my favorites... if you've never seen them you're missing something about Christmas

[Sgt. Crackpot]

I love the tale/story of Scrooge, but I haven't watched one of the originals since I was a kid. Only the various TV/take off versions that are circulated each year. Perhaps it's time I watched one, and introduced my kids to it too.

the musical includes this, how do you go wrong with a song about thanking someone for dying?

just sayin'

Me and the Mrs. watch a few, pretty much the same ones, every Christmas / Winter Solstice.

Christmas Vacation
Elf
Love Actually (this one isn't my choice, I pretty much hate this movie, but I get points watching with the Mrs.)
Home Alone
A Christmas Story

Some others that aren't necessarily Christmas movies, but they tend to get revisited at least every other year around this time:

Harry Potter (not all but maybe like one or two of them)
The Empire Strikes Back
The Shining
Planes Trains & Automobiles
Scrooged
A Christmas Carol (I like the one from the 50's)
Lord Of The Rings (the first two, I don't like the 3rd as much)
Home Alone 2

[Harry Lime]

Some others that aren't necessarily Christmas movies...

Scrooged
A Christmas Carol (I like the one from the 50's)

Yeah, those aren't Christmas movies, even though, you know, one of them has Christmas in the damn title. For pete sake.

[Peeps]

The Ref

[Harry Lime]

Gremlins.

I usually watch A Nightmare Before Christmas around Thanksgiving.

Not a Christmas movie, but I watch it every year, Catch Me If You Can. Probably Spielberg's best post-SPR.
