Which one is your favorite? Or do you have multiple favorites?

Mine are A Christmas Story and (if it counts as one) It's a Wonderful Life.

God I loathe "It's a Wonderful Life". Every year my mom watches it, and every year my brother, my dad, and I MST3K it.

I like "A Christmas Story" and "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer"

To be positively boring, I agree with Wilgrove. A Christmas Story is a family tradition, and Rudolph is a personal one. "I want to be a dentist..."

"A Christmas Carol" with Alastair Sim 1951?

“The Bishop’s Wife” with David Niven, Loretta Young and Cary Grant 1947?

“Christmas in Connecticut” with Barbara Stanwyck 1945?

EDIT: I do agree with other movies listed already as well.

My all-time favourite Christmas movie is Miracle on 34th Street.

It's a Wonderful Life is a close second.

Rudolph is a lot of fun, yes. :)

Especially that elf, can't remember his name...

Gah! I watched that on TV last year, because I wanted to see young Mila Kunis. That's two hours of my life I'm never getting back.

Awww man, I would love to see more people punching out snotty reporters more often. maybe it would make them less concerned with the story and more concerned with the people invovled with the story...


well, it would sure support the dental industry at least... :D

Where could I find a copy of that Christmas Carol with Patrick Stewart? He's one of my favorite actors, not just for his work as Jean-Luc Picard, but for everything else he's been in as well. (One of the only reasons I watched the X-Men movies, for instance.)

Die Hard.


...It's a long story.

Damn! You got there first! I was going to say 'Does Die Hard count?' Doesn't it have all Christmassy music at the end? Plus it has Alan Rickman (who looks fantastic, might I add, for a 60-year old).

I also have a soft spot for Elf. Don't hate me for finding Will Ferrell amusing in that one! Besides, James Caan rocks.

I found my copy for $10 at Wal*Mart. :D

Good God, I absolutely loathe "A Christmas Story". For 24 hours straight that is all my Dad watches, and all that he will allow to be, on TV. I have seen it so many times, it makes me cringe.

As to movies I like, I love those silly claymation movies. Except when they are shown on Fox Family in July. Then I grow to hate all that is wrong with the world.

Charles: “It's Christmas Eve! I could be home right now, drinking this monster egg-nog my brother makes with lighter fluid!”Hadn't thought about that one. Generally I avoid Xmas films like the plague (though I do enjoy the Xmas episodes on Futurama).
