Christmas Movies….Favourites?

[Black 03 Z06]

Ok, so the Christmas music thread did not go so well so maybe we are just more of a visual group.

Do you have a favourite Christmas Movie/Show? I must admit I am a sucker for Christmas themed shows. My wife just shakes her head and says haven't we seen this before? Well yes, but yesterday was a long time ago.

So last night I sat with my Grand Daughter and watched my favourite…..A Childs Christmas In Wales. Not often seen but certainly the one I like the most.

Merry Christmas folks.

I have a few, A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and my favourite animated one is The Polar Express.

I'm still waiting for the release of the Christmasploitation movie Santa Claws and the Strippers from Mars, I'm sure it's destined for Netflix

Christmas story is a good one

No question here ... Scrooged (Bill Murray)... classic comedy.... I watched it last night.....

 

[Riley P]

Just watched Scrooged the other nice as well. Quite a classic, as stated. Others right up there have to be A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation.

I just love questions that are so easy for me to answer. That would be "One Magic Christmas". Just love the job done by Harry Dean Stanton as Gideon the Christmas angel. Not to ashamed to admit that even having probably watched it over the years 20 plus times now I still cry...................just love having my heart strings plucked like that. I still watch it on VHS but I suppose I need to get a digital copy now. You listening Santa??!!

Cheers,

Garry

Geez Stan that is the 12 Day of Christmas right there!

Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year Stan. Thanks for leading the way to so many memorable events.

Speaking of a sharp eye Murray.... you zeroed right in on the 12 song significance... wonder if Zeeman had that in mind too

Some of you have to be at least as old as I am and would remember Miracle on 34th Street. I first saw it as a kid. Everyone should see it, even if you have seen it before.

 

[Rruuff Day]

lol.... though I'm not nearly as old as you Keith..I do remember it....and I even find time to re-watch every few years... That being said, It's airing again on Thursday on AMC..... ok... maybe I am as old as you....

Christmas Vacation. I watch it with the family every year and we all have a great belly laugh.

The Bishop's Wife... Cary Grant, Loretta Young and David Niven is another really good one. The remake of Miracle on 34th Street with Richard Attenborough as Kris Kringle is quite a good remake.

p.s Zeeman, the original feature length Ben Hur would really be Ramon Navarro in 1925
