What is your favorite Christmas movie/tv show?

Muppet Family Christmas is one of my favorites.

Jim Henson died way to young.

[fizzgig]

5. i have that on dvd

[Rhythm]

13. I borrowed it from a co-worker a week ago. :-)

I was surprised that someone 25 years younger than me had even ~heard~ of it, much less HAD it!

My son (age 13) and nephew (age 11) LOVED it!

4. Bad Santa

[alarimer]

8. I was going to say this

Hilarious.

I get so sick of treacly, sentimental Christmas movies.

7. MY FAVORITE ....... WHITE CHRISTMAS

[pipi_k]

11. Mine too...

I watched the last half of it last night after the Heisman ceremonies were over, then stayed up to watch the first half when it was presented again right after.

My favorite scene is the "Mandy" number.

Vera Lynn is just stunning and I can never get over her impossibly small waistline.

And I love Rosemary Clooney's voice in the nightclub number...Love, you didn't do right by me...

10. Caligula

14. I once found a copy of that in the DOCUMENTARY section of a mom-n-pop video store...

Tried to explain to them that the reason that it said 'unrated' was NOT due to it being a 'family film', and that it needed to be in the 'ADULT ROOM'...

They didn't listen until a family rented it and then subsequently excoriated them in the local newspaper for being 'smut peddlers of the worst order'. *L*


Still... it's possibly my favorite Malcolm McDowell film...

[valerief]

28. That's "A Goldman Sach's Christmas" not "Caligula". nt

[sharp_stick]

30. It's on Netflix

the unrated version. I remember watching it years ago and I just watched it again a couple of weeks ago.

God, it sucked. I mean that in the best way possible, it was bad in so many ways that it actually managed to make it to the Oh my God that sucks category.

12. Christmas Vacation is still my most favorite movie of this season.....

[Rowdyboy]

15. Handsdown winner. Its the only one we watch at least once EVERY year....

Just saw it the other day

[NightWatcher]

24. Where do you think you're gonna put that tree?

Bend over and I'll show you
You cant talk to me like that
I wasn't talking to you...

[mucifer]

16. the Charlie Brown one. Loved his little tree.

As a Jewish kid growing up in a Jewish suburb of Chicago. When I was young I wondered what all the fuss about Christmas was when no one was Christian.

[DinahMoeHum]

17. "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" - the animated cartoon

NOT the Jim Carrey schlock-fest.

[rocktivity]

19. In all fairness, I must point out that the cartoon had twenty-six minutes

in which to tell the Grinch story. The movie had only one hundred and and four...

21. Which is why the cartoon is a million times better.

Some things just do not improve upon elaboration.

[flying rabbit]

18. I still like the stop motion

puppet Rudolph ones.

[Gore1FL]

20. Die Hard

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095016/

[mythology]

22. Mine is It's a Wonderful Life

I usually watch it about once a month, so for me it's not just a Christmas movie. Just something to bolster my spirits when the world opts to suck even more than usual.

[femmocrat]

23. Charlie Brown.

It's the only one I refuse to miss every year!

[rurallib]

25. The 1948 version of "Miracle on 34th Street"

First saw it when I was @ 10 and it has been #1 in my book ever since.
"Bells of St. Mary's" is #2 although not technically a Christmas movie.

[valerief]

26. Christmas in Connecticut is a good one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_in_Connecticut

[Kingofalldems]

27. Tonight's Family Guy.

[bigwillq]

29. Charlie Brown and Christmas Vacation!!

[sharp_stick]

31. Lethal Weapon or

if I'm going to be held to the strictest, Scrooge with Alistair Sim. The entire show is on YouTube. I also make a point of watching It's A Wonderful Life a couple of days before Christmas every year.

32. Trading Places...nt.
