What's your favorite holiday movie?
 
What movie do you love watching during the Holidays?

Mine definitely has to be Home Alone 2 and A Christmas Story.

Adrian Schneider 11-27-2007 08:51 PM

I always enjoy National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Elf.

nexialys 11-27-2007 09:08 PM

i like the old christmas movies of the 70's, but they are not on tv anymore...

Paul M 11-27-2007 09:10 PM

There's usually a Bond movie on, and I like most of them.

BrandiDup 11-27-2007 11:48 PM

I love A Christmas Story and Home Alone (both of them) also! I also love the Lampoon movies... hilarious.

One of my favorite newer movies is BAD SANTA. I couldn't stop laughing during that movie, and I also thought Elf was pretty cute.

The Santa Claus was one that I enjoyed watching with my kiddos.

nexialys 11-28-2007 01:24 AM

the only Christmas Film i would suggest is "Family Man" with Nicolas Cage... not only because it is a good film, but also because it is not only related to christmas... :)

<i>Home Alone and Home Alone 2 top my list of holiday favorites, then National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, Love Actually, and Bad Santa.</i>

Princeton 11-28-2007 12:04 PM

Apparently, I'm a couch potato - I've seen all of the above. :D

Home Alone + Elf + Santa Claus - for my kids
no, not for me ;)

popowich 11-28-2007 02:17 PM

At Christmas time, it's A Christmas Story. Show me how the piggies eat! :eek:

Wayne Luke 11-28-2007 02:17 PM

I have seen them all but my favorites are:

Miracle on 34th Street (1947 version)
A Christmas Story
Bad Santa
Scrooged
and the Santa Claus series.

The first two are kind of nostalgic. I grew up on Miracle on 34th Street and A Christmas Story came out the year I got my first gun.

popowich 11-28-2007 02:29 PM

Forgot about Bad Santa, Badder Santa is a new favorite holiday movie.

A Christmas Story is my all time favorite, I think. I love the 24 hour marathon TNT has every Christmas...hopefully they continue this year.

Ok, since you brought it up...

Danny, I double-dog dare you to watch the entire marathon! :D;):p

Guest190829 11-28-2007 09:04 PM

LOL, I can definitely watch the entire marathon...as long as there is a laptop by my side and some food. :)

deezelpope 11-28-2007 09:10 PM

I've gotta get it from NetFlix for the holidays...my roommate has never seen it, can you believe that?!:eek:

Guest190829 11-28-2007 09:13 PM

:O

Netflix rocks BTW. :up:

deezelpope 11-28-2007 09:15 PM

Totally rocks!!:up::D

I'm a big fan of the 70s/late 80s horror zombie flicks. Evil Dead was great, part two was hilarious and part 3 was utterly crap. Halloween was one my favs (nothing beats a bit of donald pleasance).

Have you watched any of the Lucio Fulci flicks? As a kid I watched City of the living dead several times just watched it again recently and nothing beats the blood and gore that missing from the big budget horrors nowadays.

Actually that's the subject of my up coming vBulletin site :D

Haven't seen any of Fulci's movies (that I can remember), but am currently wading through Dario Argento's back catalog, and think i have a few Mario Bava titles sitting on my desk. Trying to locate, I think it's a Bava movie, but the one considered as the first "slasher" movie, figure I'll get to it eventually.

Very few good horror movies being made at the moment, though anything by either Brad Anderson or Neil Marshal is worth dialing into imho.

Freesteyelz 12-24-2007 12:05 AM

The original Halloween was not bad...I think I liked 4 the best of the series. The newest one was rather disappointing I thought.

For a while now I've been searching for good horror movies at Blockbusters Online and local shops here. I generally find the foreign made movies better than the western ones because they play with the mind and less of the gory and shock.

Romeos Tune 12-24-2007 12:28 AM

It's not really pertaining to Christmas but it's always on right around Christmas..... The Wizard Of Oz. I don't watch it as much as I used to back when I was married. Can't stand to see my ex. She was the wicked witch. :D
