Favorite Christmas movie?

Guest

Your favorite?

Mine is either "Christmas Vacation" or "Funny Farm". Either way, Chevy Chase always reminds me of Christmas.

Ohhhhh, tough question.

It's a 3-way tie for me. Christmas Vacation ties with A Muppet Christmas Carol which ties with Scrooged. I love all 3 of those movies, for 3 very different reasons. Planes Trains & Automobiles is a close runner-up, although you could argue that it's more a Thanksgiving movie than Christmas. Certainly a good way to kick off the season regardless.

I don't recall Funny Farm being all that Christmassy. A good movie, but one I haven't seen in awhile. Might have to revisit that one.

Miracle On 34th St ( I second this selection). Natalie Wood was absolutely adorable.

White Christmas (Bing & Danny, need I say more)

A Christmas Story (I saw this in the theater when it came out, and it still is great all these years later)

Christmas Vacation (Good movie until Eddie & the family show up, and then it's full throttle until the very end)

Home Alone

A Christmas Story - not even close

A Christmas Carol - George C. Scott or Captain Picard

Christmas Vacation - The hilariousness of Quaid and Chase, the hotness of De'Angelo.....perfect!

It's a Wonderful Life - great story

Scrooged - Bill Murray = holiday gems (Groundhog Day) "Niagara Falls!"

Emmit Otter's Jugband Christmas - "we don't like to learn but we hate what we don't understand........."

"It's A Wonderful Life" was an annual staple in my house. I don't get to see it every year like I used to anymore but when I do catch it, I still love it. "A Christmas Story" also ranks highly.

Of the classic TV specials, I gotta give props to the old school stop-motion animated shows from the Rankin-Bass factory (i.e. "Rudolph," "Year Without A Santa Claus," "Santa Claus is COmin' To Town," etc.) They truly don't make'em like that anymore.

My all time numero uno favorite is still "A Charlie Brown Christmas" though. I can recite that one word for word along with the characters as it's playing on TV (which freaks my wife out a little bit, I think...haha)

I have to go with 'It's a Wonderful Life', Frank Capra was a genius of a director and 'The Ref' simply because Dennis Leary rules.

Yup, these are all awesome. Just last night, 'Year Without A Santa Claus' was on. Love the Heat and Snow Misers.

Charlie Brown (I tear up during Linus' recitation of the Bible story!)
A Christmas Story
All the Rankin-Bass specials, Rudolph is number one, though.
Elf - Not a huge Will Ferrel fan, but this is hilarious!
Both the animated and Jim Carey versions of "The Grinch."
Nightmare Before Christmas - incredible animation.
