What's your favorite Christmas movie?
« on: December 23, 2011, 07:58:35 pm »
I actually have two favorite Christmas movies.  "The Santa Claus" with Tim Allen and Jim Carrey's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".   :star:  :thumbsup:

The term Christmas movies normally makes me cringe, but I have to give the vote to Jim Carey's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". It was truly enjoyable and sometimes a bit creepy but it is Jim Carey as the Grinch. He was extra crude, rude, and a total creep. Some of the back story the movie gave him was boring, and the one song sung by the little girl was way, way too long, but I still liked it. It was a huge improvement over the animated Grinch movie. I liked the fact that they gave a glimpse into why the Grinch was the way he was, but if they had cut it down it would have been better. I don't know of any other Christmas movie I found truly memorable, there are those dime a dozen lifetime movies where some single guy or gal finds true love or whatever, and the only reason one watches them is because there is absolutely nothing on.

Now that I think of it there may be another movie I really like, and that is The Nightmare before Christmas. Question is, is it a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie. I normally see it aired around Halloween, considering its a movie about Halloween creatures in a Halloween town, but I wonder if those programmers realize that it does take place during the Christmas season. I mean, they do kidnap "Sandy Claws".

I'm a bit confused now, so I'll toss both those titles up in the air for you. :cat:

"A Christmas story," hilarious story about a boy named Ralphy who didn't want anything for X -mas but a be be gun. The problem was that His parents, teacher, even after he told the mall Santa that's what he wanted. He got the same response. No way, kid," YOU'LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT!" ;D

My favorite is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It just wouldn't be Christmas if I didn't watch it.

I have to agree.  I love this one and have not been able to catch it yet.  I was mad because Netflix does not have it on their streaming package.  May have to go rent it today.  I think it is on at 10 pm or 11 pm Christmas night, but I will probably be dead asleep by then.

I also love It's a Wonderful Life, but no one else in my family like it so I always have to watch it alone.

My favorite cartoon Christmas show is still Frosty the Snowman. As far as a regular movie it would have to be Christmas Mountain. It is a very touching movie that does have some funny parts in it.

My favorite Chritmas movies are Jim Carey's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Scrooged".
