Movie you ABSOLUTELY love this time of year.

[redirish28]

What the heck it's Friday and I'm bored.


So let's do the flip side.

[Graybeard]

1. Miracle On 34th Street (1947)

I know it's shown mostly aroung Thanksgiving Day
because of the Macy's Parade in the beginning but
it's one of my favorite Christmas movies.

[rurallib]

16. must watch 3 or 4 times every year.

[pokerfan]

2. Christmas Vacation

[pinboy3niner]

3. Fra-gee-lay!

The Polar Express (just got done), The Muppet Christmas Carol, The Alastair Sim Christmas Carol, The Preachers Wife (the Bishop's Wife remake), and (trust me..it's just us) I'll Be Home For Christmas (a fun movie with Jonathon Taylor Thomas from "Home Improvement")

[kimi]

5. Gotta go with "Christmas Vacation" too

"SQUIRREL!!"

"You couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerine plant."

"It's a bit nipply out."

So many great quotes. Yep, "Christmas Vacation" has even overtaken "Rudolph".

[REP]

10. Brazil

[Rhythm]

11. Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas

I love Jim Henson's work... and this one is funny, and sweet. And the music's not bad either, even the "Riverbottom Nightmare Band"!

[flying rabbit]

22. Love that one too

although I haven't seen it in years. Christmas Vacation would be my favorite though. I cant hear "Here Comes Santa Claus" without thinking of that movie.

[peacefreak]

12. Love Actually.

Family Stone, Bad(der)Santa, Scrooged.

[Betty88]

26. +1

[uncommon]

42. +1 for Love Actually. It's a really wonderful movie. Well written, well acted, great cast.

In fact, I might need to watch it when I get home now lol.

[Glorfindel]

51. Me, too! "Love, Actually" has become my favorite Christmas movie

n/t

[YellowRubberDuckie]

53. My favorite!

[xchrom]

13. christmas carol. nt

[MorningGlow]

15. All of the above

I'm a sucker for da sap. :)

On edit: And yes, I am unapologetic that I watch It's a Wonderful Life every year as well. :P

[GoCubsGo]

17. Scrooge(d)

"Scrooged"--the Bill Murray version of "Scrooge." I love Bill Murray. I also really like "A Christmas Story" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (Original).

[mucifer]

18. Charlie Brown's Christmas special nt

[Broken_Hero]

19. Other:

Ernest Saves Christmas

"Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree...oh Christmas tree oh Christmas tree"-

[Ishoutandscream2]

20. Fritz the Cat

[Crystal Clarity]

23. I choose "A Christmas Carol"

The one w/ Allister Simms (sp?), which I love and is part of our family tradition but that is only because you didn't offer the choice of 'It's A Wonderful Life'. Fun poll overall though!

I almost picked 'A Christmas Story' because I SO much enjoy that too, but it works just as well around Thanksgiving-time, so instead 'Christmas Carol' won out w/me. :-)

[elocs]

24. Some good old classics, but my new favorite is "The Polar Express".

[tigereye]

36. that has a very classic quality- we usually want to see that every year...

[EastTennesseeDem]

25. It's a Wonderful Life. Easy.

[WolverineDG]

34. hands down

with Miracle on 34th Street (original B&W) & Love Actually in close second & third.

[Dulcinea]

46. I watch it every year.

And I tear up at the end, every time: "No man is a failure who has friends."

[UrbScotty]

49. Same here!

[BrklynLiberal]

27. Love Actually. I could watch that movie every day...

[queenjane]

40. Me, too!

[YankeyMCC]

28. A Christmas Carol - 1938

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Christmas_Carol_(1938_film)

I also like "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" - although that's set around Thanksgiving the story certainly resonates for the winter holiday's too.

Oh and since the question was "..this time of year." I'll include New Years Eve - not a movie but it's got to be 3 Stooges Marathon :) it's a tradition for my son and I.

[one_voice]

29. Home for the Holidays, Love Actually,...

and of course classics, like Die Hard(s). :D :hide:

[Kat45]

30. Bad Santa

I just saw A Christmas Story for the first time tonight. I always see people on DU raving about how much they like it and I got curious. I don't get why people like it so much. I didn't particularly like it. Neither did my friend.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

31. Was just checking the movie listings in the

guide that comes with the Sunday paper and
The Lion in Winter is on TCM Christmas night

[abq e streeter]

32. Went to see Clockwork Orange in our local "art theater" on Christmas day once

I can't help it; I guess I'm just a sentimental old fool.

[Generic Brad]

33. I would add "What's Cooking" to the list

Or is that considered more of a Thanksgiving movie?

[tigereye]

35. Bishop's Wife, Christmas Carol and White Christmas are all on my must see

list. I love older movies.

[MattSh]

37. A Christmas Carol...

My fave is the George C. Scott made for TV version. I just like it more than Alistair Sims. Sorry. :(

Though I also like Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol too. Truly a classic!

[Paper Roses]

52. Alistair Sims, best of them all in my opinion.

I always miss it on TV before Xmas. Networks seem to feel we need to see Xmas movies in November.

I think I am getting a copy of this 1938 classic as a Christmas gift. Happy about that.

[Dr Morbius]

38. Other: Forbidden Planet

To be fair, I should admit I love this movie at other times of the year, too.

:)

"Robby, command override Archimedes."

[PassingFair]

39. Christmas with a Capital "C"....

:wtf:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xayDw2gS7-0

[Mad_Dem_X]

41. Bad Santa and The Ref

[distantearlywarning]

43. White Christmas!

Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters!

[Lisa D]

44. It's a Wonderful Life is a must-see

I also like A Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart version)

[ceile]

45. Scrooged

I nearly pee myself every time I see the scenes with Carol Kane.
"Oh, what is this, Frank? Oh, oh look, Frank! It's a toaster!" :rofl:

[jobycom]

47. The NFL on FOX featuring the Dallas Cowboys against the Philadelphia Eagles!

Well, some years it's good. This year I think I'll watch a rerun of an old episode.
