Christmas Movies

[katespade]

What are some of your favorite Christmas movies?

H is working a 12 hour shift on Christmas Eve, so I've decided that I'm going to stay home and watch Christmas movies all day.

So far, I have:
The Grinch (the original animated version)
A Muppet Christmas Carol
Nightmare Before Christmas

[fernweh]

Polar Express, A Christmas Carol (animated Jim Carrey one) The Holiday, Four Christmases, National Lampoons, Elf

[HoneySpider]

Christmas Vacation!!

[Blue Moon]

Every Christmas we watch:

Original Grinch
Claymation Rudolph
Christmas Vacation

[katespade]

I've never seen Christmas Vacation. It sounds like I might need to add it to my list.

Definitely Christmas Vacation, especially since you've never seen it!
Love Actually
Prancer! Very underrated in my opinion.
The Family Stone

The children's classics are on my list every year (most of these you can find on YouTube):
Mickey's Christmas Carol
A Charlie Brown Christmas
Frosty the Snowman
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Original Grinch (already on your list)

[amaranth]

-Miracle on 34th Street (1990's version for my family)
-Love Actually
-Elf
-Borrowed Hearts (cheesy 90's hallmark romance but I love it. Lol)

Christmas Vacation for SURE
Elf
Love Actually

[Skyesthelimit1212]

Love Actually
All of the Clause movies (even 3, although it's pretty bad, lol)

Then I like to watch classic movies that have nothing to do w/the holidays
Auntie Mame
My Fair Lady
Gigi

Another vote for Prancer! I remember seeing that in the theater with my dad and sister.

I also love Rufolph, Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, and Christmas Vacation. My H and I also just watched The Santa Clause with Tim Allen the other day and I forgot how cute it is.

SC - Part 2, "Uncle Steve are you Santa?" "Why would you ask that?"  "Well you have a reindeer."  "Lots of people have reindeer." "Name 5."

White Christmas is my all-time favorite (my mom and I go to an old theater to see it most years), but we always watch Christmas Vacation and Santa Clause and Elf too.

Adding to previous suggestions:
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus (I remember liking both the 1985 & 2000 movies but I mostly remember the 2000 cartoon)
It's a Wonderful Life
Home Alone series

Skyesthelimit1212: Pretty much guaranteed my parents will watch all three Santa Clause movies yet again before Christmas.

[pooh8402]

@opal, how did I forget about Home Alone?!

I've already watched part 2 😀

[katespade]

I've never seen Elf or Prancer, either. Maybe I should add them to my list!

[wanderingenough]

Good call on Prancer, pooh8402! I had the VHS growing up and watched it all the time. Haven't seen it for years though. Although I felt like it had sad parts that got me!

My favs are:

Home Alone 1 and 2
Christmas Vacation
Miracle on 34th St (90s version like amaranth)
The Santa Clause
Elf
Hallmark Christmas movies

[amaranth]

To clarify, are you all referring to national lampoon Christmas vacation or a different movie?

[katespade]

amaranth - I hope they're all referring to National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, because that's the only one I'm aware of. lol.

-White Christmas, my favorite
-Claymation Christmas
-Elf
-Mickey's Christmas Carol
-Muppets Christmas Carol
-Christmas Vacation
-Charlie Brown Christmas

I also watch all those cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies.

[wanderingenough]

Yep, National Lampoon amaranth.

As an aside, my neighbor just put up a cousin Eddie in their yard. I'm going to take a pic for y'all later.

[HoneySpider]

Oh yes, Home Alone 1 &2!
