Christmas Movies

[homebrew]

Well it's that time of the year. Got any favorite holiday movies?

Mine are "A Christmas Carol" with George C. Scott as Scrooge and Nat Lamp's "Christmas Vacation".

I have a few...

I love the "A Chrismas Carol" with Alistair Sim. Of course, "It's A Wonderful Life". And there was a movie Jason Robards made with Eva Marie Saint called "A Christmas To Remember".

Nothing else even approaches 'A Christmas Story' at least not for me that is.

Probably because as a kid I never had a train set.

And the wife been watching the hallmark channels for the Christmas movies since they started Christmas movies last month. A Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart version). And can't forget Scrooged of course.

1951 - Alistair Sim - the absolute bestest version I've ever seen. I first saw it as a kid and the scene with Marley and the chains scared the crap of me. Sim is over the top - my wife and I both love this version.

I totally agree with you that this is the best version. That moment when Marley shrieks is incredible.

HAS to be the B&W version, not colour.

AMEN to that...

 

[Splatter Pak]

Mine is "Rare Exports," proof that I'm a bit twisted.

 

[jgannon]

I'll second the original "Miracle On 34th St.", "It's A Wonderful Life", "White Christmas", and "It Happened On 5th Avenue". I'll thrown in "March Of The Wooden Soldiers", "Meet Me In St. Louis", and "The Homecoming".

Not a huge Will Ferrell fan but Elf was pretty good.
