X-Mas Movie List

Moejoe · 11-12-2009, 09:04 AM

I know it's early, but here's my perennial X-Mas Movie Marathon watching list:

Some of these are horror movies, so fair warning

1. It's a Wonderful Life
2. Die Hard
3. The Bell's of St. Mary's
4. Miracle on 34th Street
5. Black Christmas
6. Christmas Vacation
7. Santa's Slay
8. Silent Night, Deadly Night
9. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (original Chuck Jones cartoon)
10. Scrooged

What are your favourite X-Mas movies?

The Bishop's Wife (1947).

I never watch movies on christmas... But if we hadn't planned to go to my mother's, we'd have had a old-year's marathon...

And I want to see one christmas movie this year, "A Christmas Carol" with the voices of Jim Carey, Jim Carey, Jim Carey and Jim Carey...

"A Christmas Story"......And "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

Maybe you can help find this Christmas movie I've seen long ago, and now can't find...

It featured this rich character who own/works in tv and is very nasty to people and somebody takes him on a time trip in a taxi and shows him scenes from his childhood causing him to change his behavior...

I don't remember much about it, as you can see

, but it did left an impression on young me.

Great adaptation on A Christmas Carol

grooks · 11-12-2009, 02:40 PM

Bad Santa

I've never seen 'It's a Wonderful Life'

- maybe I'll watch it this Christmas.

In the UK, the traditional Christmas TV film is 'The Great Escape' - can't get much more Christmassy than that!

I think it's the best movie every made. I'm being totally serious. Sentimental hogwash, it is, but brilliantly done.

vivaldirules · 11-12-2009, 03:47 PM

My favorite version of A Christmas Carol is the one done in the early 1990's by the Muppets. Again, I'm totally serious. Okay, it's because Michael Caine did a good job and it was also very warm and funny.

The best acting of Ebenezer was done by Jean-Luc Piccard (you know, what's his name?) in another version. It was the most credible interpretation of the character's dialogue that I've ever seen.

My favourite film version of 'A Christmas Carol' is 'Scrooge' with Alastair Sim.

ardeegee · 11-12-2009, 04:04 PM

The Nightmare Before Christmas. With a good 5.1 setup.
