Author Topic: Favorite Chistmas Films... Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-17-2005 09:59 PM                        What, no one mentioned MARCH OF THE TOY SOLDIERS, the Laurel and Hardy classic? Maybe if I had seen IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE in a MOVIE THEATRE instead of on a 12in tv screen when I was a kid, I would have liked it a bit better, but I am afraid even a big screen wouldn't mute the Capra cornyness that makes me squirm every time. Never liked it; probably never will, and playing it on tv every Christmas and Easter for the rest of my life as they seem wont to do is going to change my mind.  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 12-17-2005 10:13 PM                     In no particular order...

I consider this a christmas movie of sorts and my favorite. And a Christmas Story. I still laugh at it every year I see it. Scrooged with Bill Murray.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Brown Film Handler Posts: 91 From: Newcastle, NSW, Australia Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-18-2005 03:49 AM                     I Agree with you Allison, Scrooged.  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 12-18-2005 09:31 AM                     That's the one I forgot....Scrooged  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-18-2005 10:10 AM                     SpongeBob SquarePants: Holiday DVD Spongebob and Patrick rule!!!  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-18-2005 04:24 PM                        The last time I talked to Phil, he said to me, Bob, I have always wanted to be just like George Bailey! I miss that man. Maybe you could get Clarence to visit me. Well Phil, when you fall asleep tonight don't be surprised if Clarence doesn't win his wing's with you. Ding, Ding.  |  IP: Logged Adam Wilbert Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 590 From: Bellingham, WA, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 12-18-2005 05:03 PM                        What, nobody likes Christmas with the Kranks? I did enjoy the Santa Clause in the past, but not its sequel. And if I had to pick only from christmas movies, The Home Alone films would fall in there somewhere nearer the top too.  |  IP: Logged Mathew Molloy Master Film Handler Posts: 357 From: The Santa Cruz Mountains Registered: Nov 2000 posted 12-18-2005 05:19 PM                     My favorite: The Nightmare Before Christmas. The music stays with me through the entire season. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is my fave made for t.v. xmas movie.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-19-2005 03:58 AM                        quote: Richard Greco was the last to post Scrooged "Go back to Jersey, ya moron!" Umm, even though people in New Jersey & EVEN BIRMINGHAM, AL drive better in the snow than that pack o' fools in DC 2 weeks ago during that snow. I would have hoped that Steve Guttag was maintaining discipline & order in his sector, but those folks were clueless & a hazard to navigation.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I thought about including "March of the Wooden Soldiers" (AKA "Babes in Toyland") on my favorite's list, but for some reason I always considered it a Thanksgiving movie even though it clearly has a Christmas theme. Perhaps the reason is, when I was a kid, they always showed it on TV around turkeyday.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-19-2005 09:08 PM                        My favorite: Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Holiday  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-19-2005 09:28 PM                        "The Muppet Christmas Carol" was a very cute version that remains surprisingly true to the Dickens story, especially suitable for families. "Home Alone" is always fun, with a good Christmas message about not holding grudges. The first episode of television's "Jesus of Nazareth" (directed by Franco Zeffirelli) is a very literal telling of the Christmas story. The Disney short "Small One" likewise is a nice tale.  |  IP: Logged
