Random! What's your favorite Christmas movie?!

kacdanz · December 2014

Just for fun!! It doesn't quite feel like Christmas for me until I've lazed on the couch and laughed at National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation like I haven't seen it a gazillion times!!

abcdefghijk12345678 · December 2014

Home Alone and Home Alone 2, preferably watched back-to-back.

valigrl21 · December 2014

National lampoons christmas vacation

And a Christmas story is a close second

Bodoni · December 2014

Santa Claus (1985) with Dudley Moore and John Lilthgow.

And Love Actually.

steen9713 · December 2014

Nightmare before Christmas, yes!

sarymonster · December 2014

Nightmare is the perfect all year movie. I love four Christmases. It's so funny. Gotta love home alone and I'm guilty of watching the worst ones when they come on tv- total holiday season guilty pleasure.

indiejavamama3 · December 2014

Love Actually

Elf

NL Christmas Vacation

Muppet Christmas Carol

Home Alone

White Christmas

For some reason I like to watch the first Harry Potter at Christmas too

The HP movies always came out around TG/Xmas, yes? That would make sense.

That's true, most of them did! Plus in the first one they do celebrate it.. I think it has something to do with the fact that it's better to watch in the cold weather, in my weird mind lol

dot2point0 · December 2014

I love all the old school claymation movies, Rudolph, Frosty, Santa. Also, any Charlie Brown holiday movie. And Home Alone!

Also I know this is UO, but I only recently saw Christmas Story so I don't get all the hype...maybe it's something you had to grow up with.

I'm not on the Christmas Story crack wagon either... I don't get it! :-/ lol

emiwalk · December 2014

Miracle on 34th Street! I also enjoy many of the corny hallmark Christmas movies. Oh, and you can't forget Charlie Brown. I love the Charlie Brown Christmas movie!

curve31 · December 2014

One Magic Christmas. Its an 80's movie that I used to watch when I was little. If you ever see it on, you should watch it. I think its on Netflix too!

And we ALWAYS watch Its A Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve night when its on. I can't watch it at any other time.

Also cheesy romantic Hallmark Channel movies. My DVR is full of them!

smoresdoeuvres · December 2014

For sure The Nightmare Before Christmas (watch with DH every year), Christmas Vacation and Elf. But I pretty much love all Christmas movies!

charlie+7 · December 2014

Bad Santa.

bumpuser10607170 · December 2014

Favorite Claymation: The Year Without a Santa Claus
Favorite Live Action: Jingle All the Way, and Home Alone 1 & 2

I also love Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas. It is (was) our family tradition to watch it every Christmas Eve.

oneblessedmess · December 2014

The Santa Clause movies and the old claymation movies are the only ones I HAVE to watch every year.

MCH77 · December 2014

Miracle on 34th Street. Not the new one.

JuneBug0611 · December 2014

White Christmas, The Bishop's Wife, Home Alone, Love Actually, The Holiday. Have to watch all of these every year or it doesn't feel like Christmas!

LadyAnnibal · December 2014

My Christmas movies are Rudolph, Frosty the snow man, a year without a santa clause, and Edward Scissorhands. If I don't watch them it's just not Christmas.

mollykinnz · December 2014

I like Elf, I watch that a few times every year because its on TV 24/7.

Christmas Vacation is always fun to watch!

And then all of the old TV movies, Rudolph, Frosty, etc. Those I like to curl up in bed and watch, makes me feel like a kid again

I can't wait to make Christmas memories with my kids!!

Lemon200 · December 2014

I'm guilty of loving the newer ones! Four Christmasses, Love Actually, The Holiday, Family Stone!

Oh!! I forgot about Four Christmases!!! Such a good one!

WafflesFriendsWork · December 2014

White Christmas (just bought the Rosemary Clooney record!), The Family Stone, Miracle on 34th Street (I like both personally), Home Alone, and Elf

I've never seen a Christmas Story or Christmas Vacation all the way through. I think you need to grow up with those to appreciate them.

RWPhoenix · December 2014

Nightmare Before Christmas, Elf, Charlie Brown Christmas, Home Alone, Grinch (animated)

I like Christmas Story but don't love it. I like both of the Miracle on 34th Street movies.

expletive baby · December 2014

Christmas Vacation. It gets quoted year round.

bumpuser8571475 · December 2014

Home Alone and Home Alone 2. A Christmas Carol, any version. Christmas Vacation. Elf. I also love the claymation ones but I haven't seen those in years.

slweaver0626 · December 2014

Garfield Christmas Special

Muppet Family Christmas (1989 TV version, not the DVD copy)

Claymation Christmas

Gremilns

I HATE a Christmas Story. DH bought it for me one year... he's an ass.

Jennym2b · December 2014

Bad Santa, elf, home alone, nightmare before Christmas, and Rudolph.

Tgrrl10 · December 2014

Elf, NL Christmas Vacation, & Home Alone 1 &2. No Christmas is complete without watching all of these

lauralou2210 · December 2014

The Santa Clause then Home Alone

amc1087 · December 2014

@slweaver0626 Yes yes yes to the Garfield Christmas Special and Muppet Family Christmas! I also really have a soft spot for Christmas Even on Sesame Street (especially the Ernie/Bert/Mr. Hooper Gift of the Magi).

What's the difference between the DVD and TV versions of Muppet Family Christmas though? I don't know that I've ever seen the DVD version, but since the VHS tape I had access to is now gone, the DVD version may be the only one I can get...

slweaver0626 · December 2014

@tmorash The original TV airing has more footage and has the penguin christmas caroling and the I'll Be Home for Christmas by Miss Piggy when she arrives by dog sled. When they put the show out for commerical sale they didn't have the rights to use that footage and it had to be cut out.
