Favorite Holiday movie?

[Mike Olbinski]

Just wondering what everyone's favorite holiday movies are.

I would have to say Wonderful Life is my #1. Just a great story, I can't wait to watch it every year.

Some of my other favorites:

Christmas Story
White Christmas
Christmas Vacation (of course)

[Chaplin]

It's a Wonderful Life
A Christmas Story
Scrooged (Bill Murray--the unofficial favorite actor of ASFN)
Home Alone
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
Nightmare Before Christmas
Christmas Vacation
The Ref (considered a Xmas movie?)

I thought about putting that down, but it doesn't seem like a holiday movie that much...

I think for a movie to be considered a holiday movie, the central plot must be about the holidays, not just take place during Christmas (Like Die hard). Then I was thinking.....Its a Wonderful Life really has nothing to do with Christmas...it just takes place during X-mas (if you really think about it)

So Die Hard is allowed in on the IAWL (its a wonderful life) clause

Charlie Brown Christmas
Christmas Story
Scrooged

 

[Mr.Dibbs]

Silent Night, Deadly Night. Just kidding. The Fat Albert X-Mas Special! Albert and the Cosby Crew help out the brother man, who is being held down by the other man...

A Christmas Carol starring George C. Scott as Scrooge. The best version ever IMO.

 

[KingLouieLouie]

Those "cheesy" Christmas movies that were on MST3K......

Other than that, definitely Christmas Story and Charlie Brown Christmas.....

 

[Chaplin]

Is Charlie Brown Christmas considered a "movie"? If so, you can't avoid mentioning the originals--Rudolph, Grinch and Frosty.

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (old animated version)

Rudolph (Claymation, the one with Yukon Cornelius, The Snow Monster, Hermey the elf who wants to be a dentist, and the Isle of Misfit Toys, absolutely classic!)

Actually, I was thinking "The Year without a Santa Clause" Animated one. Its got Heat Miser in it.

"I'm mister Heat Miser. Im mister Fun. Im mister heat Miser. I'm mister hundred and one"

Miracle on 34th St. (1947) is my favorite classic Christmas movie by far.

More recently A Christmas Story and Scrooged are pretty good.

I also really liked The Santa Clause.

Bump. Please merge with the other thread.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles... that's a good one that i wouldn't immediately think of as a holiday film but it absolutely belongs up there.

Scrooged and A Christmas Story are watchable any time they're on TV.

 

[FArting]

A Christmas Story

 

[PortlandCardFan]

No mention of 'Elf'? I like it...
