    Its difficult to choose but there are 5 I like to watch around Christmas which are (in no order of preference):

    Lethal Weapon
    Die Hard
    Gremlins
    Nightmare Before Christmas
    Home Alone

    I realise that only one of those seemingly has anything to do with Christmas but the rest all take place at Christmas which is good enough to make it a Christmas movie in my book

    There are alot of great Xmas movies! The one we like to show our child every year is "Its a Wonderful life" with Jimmy Stewart. Made in 1920's ? But theme is how you impact the world around you & the differance you make in it! Great story line & teaches a lesson or two in the process!:wink:
  • Scrooge
    Elf
    Jingle all the way

    I love the Grinch and Elf... "He's an angry Elf!" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
  • Nobody ever names my favorite... Y'all are missing some gooood hilarity. Muppet Christmas Carol is the best.



    Light the lamp not the rat! Light the lamp not the rat! hilarious.
  • Definitely 'It's a Wonderful Life', although I do get very giddy when I see the Charlie Brown Xmas special advertised! :)

    'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' is actually about Thanksgiving time.. isn't it? haha. ahh well. Still, it's a great movie. I have far too many. Home Alone 1 and 2 also for me and The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I have more favorites but can't think of them at the moment. aw shucks. A Christmas Story is a classic though. love it.
  • watching that one right now (National Lampoon Christmas Vacation)! A Christmas Story is my favorite and NLP Christmas Vaca is my second!
  • The Nativity Story is my new favorite, and I must admit that I have a teeny crush on actor Oscar Isaac, who plays Jesus' father Joseph. ;-)
  • My favorites are:

    It's a Wonderful Life (1946, James Stewart & Donna Reed... I have the collector's edition that includes both the black & white and color version but I've never watched the color version. It wouldn't feel right.)
    Die Hard (1988, Bruce Willis & Alan Rickman... not usually defined as a Christmas movie, but it takes place at Christmas and the soundtrack is Christmas music, so what else would you call it??)
    Muppet Family Christmas (1987... It's the one where all the muppets are at Fozzy Bear's mother's farm house. LOVE it.)
    Fred Claus (2007, Vince Vaughn & Paul Giamatti... this is just my Vince Vaughn obsession showing)

    This is a strange assortment, I know... but it's a movie for every mood!!
