Christmas movies

[Taualumna]

What's your favourite movie that airs during the holiday season?

Even though it isn't technically a holiday movie, I have to say that I LOOOOOVVVVVEEE The Sound of Music. I think CTV has aired it around Christmas every year for the past decade or so. I don't really know what the movie has to do with Christmas, though. My mom seems to think that the concert at the very end was a Christmas concert, but I was under the impression that it was the Salzburg Festival.

Every year in grade school we were always forced to watch that stupid Christmas Story movie. I'm sorry, I've never been a fan of it and never will. Puts me to sleep every time.

I don't know why, but I love love love Home Alone and the Preacher's Wife.

Merry Christmas, you filthy animal.

Is that the movie with the boy who wants a bb gun? I really like that movie.

I like Miracle on 34th Street with Maureen O'Hara and Natalie Wood, Charlie Brown Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, White Christmas, A Christmas Carol, and Babes in Toyland.

I really like all sorts of Christmas movies.

For some reason I equate the Sound of Music with Easter.

I thought that I might bring this topic back, since it's getting close to Christmas: Here's my favorites:

-National Lampoon's Chrsitmas Vacation (the squirrel coming out of the tree was funny)
-A Christmas Story
-The Santa Clause 1 and 2
-Miracle on 34th Street (1994 version, okay I'm biased because I was born in '82)
-Home Alone 1 and 2 (3 was okay, but 4 was god awful)
-Christmas Every Day

Non Movie Specials on TV:
-Claymation Christmas (someone please put it back on the air)
-A Garfield Christmas
-A Charlie Brown Christmas
-California Raisins Christmas
-How the Grinch Stole Christmas
-A Flintstone Christmas

I haven't seen:
The Gathering
Bad Santa
Elf

And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them! And they were so afraid ... And the angel said unto them, "Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to all my people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ, the Lord."

"And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth peace, and good will toward men."

"That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown." - Linus Van Pelt

Tell me...does that not tug at the heartstrings every year?

I agree. Especially when Mike gets trapped in that collapsed building and they flashback to when Cindy was still cute and how she asked Santa Claus to give Carol her voice back so she could sing 'O Come All Ye Faithful' and then next thing you know everyone in the lot is singing that song.

And then Mike somehow manages to get out of the rubble. Very Brady ending.

I still have that movie on the original tape it was taped on in 1988.

I love Elf. I love Eloise at Christmas or whatever it's called. I love love love A Very Brady Christmas. I love The Santa Claus.

Anything that takes place in NYC so Home Alone is on that list too.

Though I just love Christmas movies in general so anything contempory and sweet. The snowier the better.

Only 56 more days until Christma!!!

Ho ho ho.
