Favorite Christmas Movie!

[Kabukiman]

Wow, I nearly forgot about "Santa Claus: The Movie", thanks for posting that Balsquat!

When I was a kid the VHS tape of that movie, which was recorded off of HBO, was in the VCR non-F'N-stop from Thanksgiving to New Year's.

How the heck have I forgotten it?

Yea. It had allot of charm. I still love watching it. Ever notice that Burgess Meredith Plays Old Man christmas?

 

[Balsquat]

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

It's a nice family movie and really gives a nice back history for how Christmas got started. Your kids might really enjoy it.

Tonight I had a couple glasses of Bushmills and watched The Planet of the Apes. A Batty Christmas tradition is born.

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.

aw! you're such a party pooper!
i've said for years, "christmas story" and "die hard" are my fav christmas films

batman returns not so much cause i hated it, but if i liked the film i'd def consider it a "christmas" movie hehe

nightmare before christmas is also another one i have to see between halloween and xmas

How random! I just picked it up from the internet like 3 years ago or something and never changed it - I'm lazy... and apparently ahead of my time

Its corny as hell but there's something about the end of Elf where the Central Park Rangers lol) are chasing Buddy and Santa through the park as the crowd sings Santa Claus Is Coming To Town that strikes a surprising emotional chord. Its a mix of excitement and warm fuzzies that you don't see too often. Its stupid, but gets me every time.

As for favorite movie, definitely A Christmas Story. Just saw The Nativity Story for the first time last year. Really well done, I'm surprised it hasn't aired yet this year.
