Favorite Christmas Movies

[AngelinaCat]

This is an effort to start up a thread that is a little light-hearted. We were doing fine today until we had a potential renter come by with his PITBULL dog. This is NOT well.

Anyway, to start: 'The Christmas Story'; 'Miracle on 34th Street'--the original; the original 'Home Alone' movie, and 'The Christmas Visitor', with the later one one of our favorites.

A Christmas Carol (stage production, but movie is good too) and the loosely-based adaptation in Scrooged. Miracle on 32nd is a classic. Home Alone, the first movie, is a great movie to watch. I don't even mind watching A Charlie Brown Christmas. You can't go bad with Frosty the Snowman. How The Grinch Stole Christmas, the cartoon or the Jim Carey led motion picture, is always a good time. I also liked the original The Santa Clause.

AC you have a renter? Does this mean you got rid of the the lazy so and so in the cabin?
I must have missed the rest of that story.

The original Christmas Carol and Miracle on 34th street are my favorite.

The Crossing, It's a wonderful Life, both Miracles on 34th street and Scrooge, the 1951 version. Movie marathon all day!

Bad Santa with Billy Bob Thornton!

Bad Santa with Billy Bob Thornton!

Bad Santa was... bad! I did find the ending scene pretty interesting. The response of the city/police was so "politically correct" it was believable. However, this is not a real Christmas story. It's more a story of an alcoholic during the Christmas season.

A Christmas Story, A Christmas Carol, It's a Wonderful Life, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and Miracle on 34th Street (the original). We love Christmas classics and sometimes throw in a newbie here and there.

I even like all the remakes of A Christmas Carol -- of course Bill Murray's Scrooged, and all the cheesy ones usually on Lifetime.
