passion of the christ
We're watching "Elf" at work, so it got me to thinking.. what's your favorite Christmas movie?
passion of the christ
+1 Also like Jesus of Nazareth and of course It's A Wonderful Life.
Die Hard
Modern movies, I LOVE Jim Carrey as The Grinch. But, as per usual, my favorites are classics from the 1940's. My favorite is Christmas in Connecticut(1945), with my film heroine, Barbara Stanwyck, followed by The Man Who Came to Dinner(1942), with Monty Woolley and Bette Davis. Both are hilarious screwball comedies
Die Hard
Home Alone
Trading Places
This. It's the last movie that made my cry of laughter.
A Christmas Story
Bad Santa
Home Alone
A Christmas Carol
Die Hard II
In order:
1) A Christmas Story

3) Scrooged
4) Home Alone
5) Bad Santa
I pretty much watch these every year around Christmas time.....something is just missing if I don't.
Charlie Brown Christmas
I try to minimize the Christmas exposure in my house. For religious people, I understand it. For everyone else, it's just a mega-greed day.
This is America, son.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Any answer that is not Die Hard is wrong.
Forgot about Die Hard. Revised list:
1) Die Hard
2) Bad Santa
3) Christmas Story
All the rest suck.
I like Die Hard more than the sequel, but I associate 2 more with Christmas growing up. Maybe its the snow.
Getting paid overtime to watch Christmas Vacation right now...
Christmas Story when I was growing up
Christmas Vacation now for the past few years
Burn some dust here.... eat my rubber.
A Christmas Story
In that dinner scene, I just noticed the cat food in the jello for the first time. Hooray for getting a joke on the 100th take.
There is a movie called "Booky and Secret Santa" from '07. It deals with Depression era Toronto, a young girl, and her family. Her father has lost his job and the family faces a bleak Christmas. She befriends her father's ex-boss--via saving his life in a armed-robbery attempt. He grants her a wish.
What makes this movie unique is the way The Depression is handled. It's dealt with in real time, not in what we know 80 years later, but, what they knew mere months into the carnage. They can't figure out what has happened. The ex-boss strives to explain to Booky why her father has lost his job, but, can't fathom the sea change that has hit.
lol random shot in the dark nails a target.
