Classic Christmas Movies?

Thu Dec 25, 2008 7:34 am

What film makes you ALWAYS think of christmas? Is there a film you watch around christmas every year without fail?

My favourite christmas film is the Snowman - which i discovered today that the Australian family i'm spending Christmas with have never heard of.

The snowman is AWESOME and i recommend that everyone watch it - it's only about 30 mins long, and can be found on youtube here: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=sKYTh-FvpWA (that's the first part, but it contains links to the other two)

My top ten in order of when I think of them throughout the season:

#1 - A Christmas Story (The best Christmas movie ever.)
#2 - Disney and Muppets Christmas Carols (My favorite versions. Scrooge McDuck is my favorite Disney character <3)
#4 - Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz (It is set on Christmas, and it is the only movie with that setting I own)
#5 - Trapped in Paradise
#6 - Scrooged
#7 - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
#8 - Home Alone 1 & 2
#10 - Eight Crazy Nights

Enough said.

It's definitely the best Christmas movie ever. I watch it every Christmas :)

I also think "The Family Stone" is a wonderful Christmas movie.

In no particular order...

1. White Christmas
2. Miracle on 34th Street
3. Charlie Brown Christmas
4. A Christmas Story
5. What a Wonderful Life
6. Muppet Christmas Carol
7. Home Alone
8. Little Drummer Boy
9. Grinch that Stole Christmas (original version)

...that's all I can think of off hand.

My favorite holiday movies would have to be How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the original) and Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I even have Christmas cards based on that second movie... They're awesome!

Well I used to love The Snowman until I had to dub it over in French a few weeks ago. That didn't go so well.

As far as my favorites--A Charlie Brow Christmas, no questions asked.

Dub over in french? Now that's just wrong, the whole point is that it doesn't have any words!!

I guess dub was the wrong word. Just pretend I said narrate (which is still just wrong!)

Yeah, that's silly! It is a universal film due to it's lack of words, no narration needed!
