Favorite Christmas Movie!

[devilof76]

The only Christmas movies I find to be truly depressing are the ones with Tim Allen in them, and the one with Rob Lowe on the cover of it at Wal-Mart.

lmao....

 

[devilof76]

And all I've seen of the Rob Lowe one is the cover. Makes me want to shoot myself.

Oh yeah....that movie....____ing ____ is depressing. Horrible movie. The movie ends with the mom dying, and everyone is sad. God....and the little boy spends all his christmas money on shoes for his dying mother....and she gets them, and she dies.

Jibbus crizmus. That's horrible. I hate movies like that. Calling it a Christmas movie is a sin.

Just watched Love Actually again.

The cast is brilliant. The music is moving. Dammit, I got something in my eye again.

Here is one of my all time favorites. A few big names as well including a young John Lithgow. Anybody else ever see this one:

 

[Fluoride Drinker]

Scrooge (1970)

 

[piccolodaimaoh]

Toss up between Gremlins, Die Hard, Home Alone and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Never have. I should probably start putting some of these on my Netflix queue.

Man, I think this thread should be renamed "Favorite Movie that has lose ties to Christmas". Gremlins, Die Hard....come on!

We should be talking CLASSICS here IMO:

1. Christmas Story
2. It's a Wonderful Life
3. Christmas Vacation
4. Alistair Sim's version of A Christmas Carol
5. Scrooged (about as loose as I get when it comes to Xmas movies).

ELF is my favourite followed closely by Love Actually

I agree...but I picked a movie that has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas.

 

[CelticPredator]

Die Hard was set on Christmas, as was Gremlins. Those are perfect Christmas movies.....wtf?

I dunno....things like the Santa scene...they bother me...

I'll give it another go. Maybe it's because I was younger then.

I loved it when I was a kid and more now !

Just watched Love Actually again.

Stop ! I still have to see it again !

Hope I can find a deal on It's a Wonderful life. Need to add that one to the mix.

Some not so mainstream one's I also watch are:

 

[VASith]

Charlie Brown.

I hope that movie still holds up after we are all long gone...

 

[shiveringmelody]

Nothing new, but they are my personal favs.

I think there is a difference between Christmas films and Films related to Christmas. Hell Mean Girls, Eyes Wide Shut, Rocky 4 and even When Harry Met Sally have Christmas in them but I wouldn't consider them Christmas films. I think Batman Returns, Gremlins, Die Hard all fall into the related category.

Another related film that always seems to be watched around this time is Harry Potter. Those films usually feel Christmasy to me.
