Good picks! Gotta give it to Sim's 1951 version though.
The dancing on his coffin as their traveling down the street is great imagery.

Big "Oh Yeah" on the Alastair Sim "Christmas Carol". Or just read the book. Best line: "Beware this boy! For on his brow is written the doom of mankind".

I watched Rudolph (one of my favorites) with my kids a week or so ago. Until then I'd never paid attention to what a total creep Santa was in that movie.

g-rock, You think that is bad, one of my devil spawn broke the damn pop up toaster, so for toast with my bacon and eggs this morning, I had to toast my toast on the grill.
Thank god for propane, the gas of God. I tried toasting it over the hob, but these smooth cook tops just don't do that anymore.

I like most of the Christmas movies since I like Christmas. My favorite would have to be the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol, with Alastair Sim. It's A Wonderful Life. Christmas Vacation. Scrooged. All good. Planes Trains and Automobiles is about Thanksgiving. I do like Full Metal Jacket, 1st half of the movie, but it doesn't make me fell all Christmasy. Glad T_O_B is back today from his shopping spree

I rather enjoy Caligula, wine, women and song!
somedude20 2 years, 5 months ago
Santa Claus The Movie with Dudley Moore Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964) Surviving Christmas (2004) hard to find a good Affleck movie (would have been better had Tony Soprano wacked Affleck off in the first ten minutes Fred Claus (2007) Vince Vaughn's best role since he remade Psycho (hahaha) I do like 'Silent Night, Deadly Night' (1984)

Hollis, No, even my summer kitchen has a gas cooktop, just the spousal unit doesn't like gas cooktops in the house. I think one time her grandma leaned over and set her moo moo on fire once.
But you can toast toast toasty on a gas hob.
Lawyers in Love is a horrible horrible song, let alone a horrible horrible album.

The Wild Bunch. Warren Oates, William Holden and Ernest Borgnine are such Christmassy guys...

Since no one has mentioned it, put me down for Bing Crosby's "Holiday Inn."
BorderRuffian 2 years, 5 months ago
"A Christmas Story" hands down. Every year, immediately after the Thanksgiving dishes are cleared, we all sit down and watch it again. There are so many lines that get remembered and re-used all year long ("but the bell rang," "they looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears"). While this was a ho-ho-hummer at the box offices, this remains as almost a cult classic.
Merry Christmas, and don't shoot your eye out!
