Favourite Chrismas Movies?

Recommended Posts

My favorites are:

 

"Christmas Vacation"

 

"A Christmas Carol" (Several of the adaptations are good.)

 

"The Grinch who stole Christmas"

 

"Planes, Trains and Automobiles" (I know it's about Thanksgiving, but it's still good for some "Christmas Spirit" [smile].)

 

 

I watch these almost every year.

Christmas Carol 1951

Miracle on 34th st. 1947

Christmas Vacation

 

Then for TV I like Christmas episodes of Dragnet, Adam 12, Alber Hitchcock Presents "Santa Claus and the Tenth Avenue Kid", Twilight Zone "Night of the Meek", and of course Charlie Brown, Frosty, and Rudolph.

This excludes TV Cartoon Specials, which I don't consider movies.

 

It's a Wonderful Life.

* in the original B/W

A Christmas Carol

* 1999 with Patrick Stewart

* 1951 with Alastair Sim

A Christmas Story

Lampoons Christmas Vacation

Home Alone 1 (no others)

 

Roughly in that order.

Fav movie: A Christmas Carol, the original (old spotty black and white version)

Second Fav movie: National Lampoon's Christmas vacation

 

Favourite Christmas TV show: A Charlie Brown Christmas. I have it on VCR (don't laugh) and I watch it every year. I have the whole thing memorized and can speak the script before it even comes out of the characters' mouths, but I still watch it and love it. And I can dance like they do at the Christmas play! (not bragging or anything [biggrin] ) Ftr, I can also do the Elaine Bennis dance...... I'm just really talented that way [tongue]

I like Holiday Inn, though not technically a Christmas movie, it does feature Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas".

 

I also like A Christmas Story, and Mr. MaGoo's version of A Christmas Carol, which I understand was the first animated Christmas feature.

 

 

My favorite of the Christmas Live Action shorts, as it were, is Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

 

 

But who can resist "The Year Without A Santa Claus"?

It just wouldn't be Christmas without 'em!
