What is your favorite Christmas holiday movie?

My faves are:

White Christmas with Bing Crosby/Danny Kaye

The Christmas List with Mimi Rodgers/Stella Stevens

The House Without A Christmas Tree with Jason Robards

and one I can't remember the name of with Nancy McKeon that was shown on Lifetime. She had amnesia.What is your favorite Christmas holiday movie?
There are so many.....That is my favorite time of year, decorating, kights everywhere, curl up with a cup of hot cocoa and watch christmas movies......



I loved:

It's a wonderful Life

The Christmas story

Miracle on 34th street

Also, the movie ELF---was funny, Chevy Chase Christmas vacation was funny.......I guess I like just about all of them......
A Christmas Story.



You know the story where Ralphie has to convince his parents, teachers, %26amp; Santa that a Red Ryder BB gun really is the perfect gift.What is your favorite Christmas holiday movie?
Scrooged. Everyone makes fun of me, but i love it.



Also no holiday season is complete without watching the Christmas story once.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

A Christmas Story

Meet Me in St. Louis

The Santa ClauseWhat is your favorite Christmas holiday movie?
It's a Wonderful Life ....Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed
I like A Christmas Story with Peter Billingsly and all the faves above, except, I did not see the Nancy McKeon one. I also like the really bad animated movie about the defective toys going to "misfit" island with the abominable snowman...
A Christmas Story...you'll shoot you're eye out...and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is good for a laugh...but my favorite that I must watch every year is A Muppet's Christmas Carol!! I love the music and comedy...
Christmas Story. You'll shoot your eye out. Its the best.



Its A Wonderful Life is nice once every other year.



Scrooge with Bill Murray. (I think that was the title anyway).



And the original Godzilla plowing through downtown Tokyo makes for a good change of pace. I associate Godzilla with Christmas because the first time I ever so it, it was near Christmas. And that was eons ago.



A side note here:

too many Christmas movies and cartoon. My granddaughter has a very nice collection of cartoon and movies. I wish it was toned down during Christmas.
One of my favorites is "Miracle on 34th Street" with Maureen O'Hara, John Payne and Edmund Gwenn.
"White Christmas" ....... I love the part where Bing and Danny lip sing to "Sisters" !!! Hahaha... It is hilarious !!!!!!
I like A Christmas Carol.
Christmas Vacation w/Chevy Chase.
Little Women

Snow Birds
I saw the one with Nancy McKeon last year and loved it. She was in a car accident and met her future husband in a dream.

My favourite one for the last few years is the one where Dolly Parton is an angel and to get her wings she has to help someone on earth. I wish I could remember the name for it. darn. She sings in it and helps a family whose wife/mom died and they don't have the Christmas spirit. I love anything with Dolly in it anyway.

There are a few animated movies that I have enjoyed over the years. Annabelles'Wish starring Randy Travis., Christopher the Christmas Tree and one I haven't seen for a while Emmet Otters' Christmas Jug Band . It's like O 'Henrys' The Gift of the Magi.
'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation'-I love Chevy Chase.

'Gremlins', is another favorite, it has a Christmas time setting.

'The Year Without Santa', is my favorite animated one. I love to hear those songs Heat Miser and Snow Miser sing.
A Christmas story.

"You'll shoot your eye out"
miracle on 34th street



but it has to be the original



still makes me cry
I'm amazed "It's A Wonderful Life" didn't landslide all the other movies.

Oh, well, I'll take a look at AFI's 100 Greatest Movies list and feel better in just a minute.
"A Christmas Story" I love Ralphie's imagination! We watch it every year. We even have a leg lamp in our window.



There was an old movie that I loved, I cn't remember the name, where there was a poor couple. He sold his watch to buy combs for her hair. She cut her hair to buy him a watchband ( or something for his watch). If I knew the name of the movie, I could rent it and refresh my memory. Do you know which movie I am talking about?
As classic movies go, It's a Wonderful Life is one of my favorites. But every year my husband and I make it a point to watch Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase. We know almost every line in the movie, but we laugh our butts off every time we watch it! I especially love the Aunt Bethany character, and when she arrives at the Griswold's party. The lights on their house are so bright. When she walks in, she asks "Is your house on fire, Clark?" LOL! Funniest Christmas comedy ever!
White Christmas



Miracle on 34th Street - with Maureen Ohara
You mean there were others?



"It's a Wonderful Life" and "Miracle on 34th Street."



Actually, we like to watch the new "Lifetime" movies each Christmastime. There have been some great ones. I especially enjoyed the one Donya mentioned, with Dolly Parton as an angel.
"Its a wonderful life" with Jimmy Stewart..Classic!
Santa Claus 3
A Christmas Story. The funniest Christmas movie EVER!

If you are a senior and haven't seen it........you're in for treat!
Miracle on 34th Street is most fav.



It's a Wonderful life



and the one about the bbgun or rifle...can't remember the title.
My all-time favorite was A Christmas Carol made in

black and white in 1951 and starred Alastair Sim.

No Scrooge movie can touch that one.



My next favorite is A Christmas Story. It's about a little boy

named Ralphie who wants a Red Ryder BB gun for

Christmas. It's a hoot. It reminds my hubby of the

Christmases when he was a kid in the 1950's.
WHITE CHRISTMAS......I LOVE THAT MOVIE
It's a wonderful life is the best!
A Christmas Story. "You'll shoot your eyes out!".
ONE SPECIAL NIGHT with James Garner and Julie Andrews. I have taped it and play it every Christmas season. It is beautiful and so classy!
