Re: GTKY Friday

  • 1. White Christmas. I used to rewind the tape (yes, tape) a million times, trying to learn the choreography.

    2. Love Actually. It's literally perfection.


    3. Elf. I could watch this anytime of year, to be honest.

    My FFFC is that I've only seen Elf in its entirely twice... (*hides from @lillywonderland * ) I do love the movie, I just haven't watched it all that much apparently? 

    1. The Polar Express -  I bawl like a baby just at the music


    2. The Grinch -  the Jim Carrey one 
    This whole scene is GOLD

     
     
     


    3. Does Merry Christmas, Mr Bean count? :lol: If not, then The Holiday comes to mind.

  • 1) Home Alone (We have a family tradition my brother "started" to listen to the scene where the pizza gets delivered to Kevin/the Wet Bandits come by to scope the place & he plays the movie in the background so it has to be #1 for me.)


    2) Elf (I agree 100% w/ the quote in my gif)

    3) White Christmas (my Nana used to sing the songs from this one & then talk about how bad of a singer she is [she truly is.] Also, I want all their outfits.)

  • @brookert615, how could I forget Christmas Vacation?! That's one of my all-time favorite movies, Christmas or otherwise!!
  • @brookert615 it is tradition on my mom's side of the family to watch Christmas Vacation every year. We've been bad about doing it the couple years though.

    Elf is always a great movie.

    I also get a lot of joy watching Jingle All the Way with Arnold Schwartzenegger

    National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is THE Christmas movie in my mind: tons of family dysfunction, hysterical laughs, and it makes you feel better about your own family after watching it. :smiley:
  • 1.  CHRISTMAS VACATION!!!!!!
    2.  Elf
    3.  Christmas Story (you'll shoot your eye out, kid!)

    I know #3 is a no-go for lots of people, but my dad and I LOVE it, and will watch over and over again.  I also love the entire Santa Clause franchise, but my DH won't watch it with me, so I have to sneak it in late at night.  White Christmas is also a classic, but I only need to see it once per season, and then I'm happy.  Those top 3 I can watch over and over again!
  •  Really sad no one else considers Little Women a Christmas movie... def a fave of mine during this season
