Nrthwnd Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Since this is a more 'themed' topic, rather than that all-purpose sticky up there.... I enjoy the following holiday-themed movies, and have them (and a few others) to enjoy again and again and.... yeah, one mo'time: Nightmare Before Christmas The perfect interchangeable two-holiday Tim Burton creation. Mmmm, Scary Teddy, Oogie Boogie, and a few great numbers all together. Still a magical, twisted bit of celluloid, again and again. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation The Griswolds. The cat. Cousin Eddie. 25,000 lights. Who could ask for a better family who's more f-ed up than your own, hmmm? Scrooged There are so many 'variations on a theme', but this one with Bill Murray has got to be high on a few peeps' list of faves. The only one I think he's better in, deals with 'another holiday' but we won't mention that, here, mmm'k? And Carol Kane kicks pretty good butt, too. ~ ~ ~ ~ I will only list three here, since ya got ta list yours, too. Thought of putting up a poll, but c'mon. I'd probably miss one you know I wouldn't want to miss, right? Share and enjoy the warm fuzzies. Happy Solstice All! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterzak Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. I quote this one in July, I like it that much. "Are you still dating Clark?" "Clark, Audrey's frozen from the waist down." "Been singin for the Yak lady." "Can't see the line, can ya Russ?" Such a good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxo Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 A Christmas Story The Nightmare Before Christmas Christmas Vacation and I always give the Charlie Brown Christmas a "courtesy" watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 It's A Wonderful Life (classic) Love Actually (you either love or hate it, I love it) Scrooged (LOVE LOVE LOVE Bill Murray) Home Alone (the original, or MAYBE the 2nd one, NOT the other crappy sequels) Miracle on 34th Street (makes me cry buckets) I absolutely despise Christmas, but I love Christmas music and movies. I guess it's because Christmas in the films is so idealised, if it was like that in reality I'd probably love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XANAX: The Ride Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I so don't celebrate Xmas. But I do remember loving to see "Rudolf" and Mr. Ives (remember "Silver and Gold"???) as a snow man making snail trails in the snow... I also liked "Frosty". When they show his fire place it is full of upside down icicles; although that may have been the "jack frost" xmas special... it has been so long.

SonOfBeastSucks Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 National Lampoons Christmas Vacation! Easily the best holiday movie ever. I also like Surviving Christmas and it seems that every year on Christmas Day, I end up watching A Christmas Story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnage Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I absolutely despise Christmas, but I love Christmas music and movies. I'm nearly the opposite. I love Christmas, but I despise Christmas music. It makes me angry. All those damn cheery poppy music that they play in malls drives me insane.

Louise Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I don't like Christmas because frankly, i've never had a reason to. But Christmas music is all about snow and presents and family and that kinda stuff, and I suppose in my head that's what I think Christmas SHOULD be like, and so I like to listen to the music cos it makes me think those kind of thoughts. Escapism I suppose is the word! I only like certain Christmas songs though, the ones my local mall in Florida used to play were a nightmare! Ever hear the Smurfs sing carols?!?! :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 ^ *shudder* it's those types I can't stand. I did however today heard "grama got run over by a raindeer". That one is funny in a cheery disturbing way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 ^ If you like that kinda thing, give Bob Rivers' Twisted Christmas CD a try. "The restroom door said gentlemen...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneygurlz2s Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 ^^ My husband's personal favorite Christmas album!! National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. I quote this one in July, I like it that much. "Are you still dating Clark?" "Clark, Audrey's frozen from the waist down." "Been singin for the Yak lady." "Can't see the line, can ya Russ?" You forgot "Jesus, Bethany, did the room clear out?" or something to that effect....that was my late niece's favorite line. We loved that movie!! My favorites are: Christmas Vacation White Christmas (RoseMary Clooney and Bing! They were the best!!) Christmas Story The Christmas Shoes (tv movie, Rob Lowe/Kimberly Williams Paisley.... great song made into a movie that had a storyline that hits home with me, so I just sob buckets) Miracle on 34th Street It's a Wonderful Life One Magic Christmas When Mary Steenburgen realizes that she's holding her childhood Santa letter, I just lose it!

tinkerbell Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 A Christmas Story! That's my favorite definately. I also like Rudolph, Charlie Brown, the Year Without a Santa Claus, and the 'Santa Clause' movies (1&2). I like Christmas Vacation and Christmas with the Kranks too (I think I'm in the minority there). EDIT: I forgot the Grinch (the cartoon)! That's a classic.

Scaparri Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Such a good question. I guess my top three would be something like this: National Lampoon's Chrismas Vacation- This movie will NEVER get old A Christmas Story- Neither will this one. I love TBS' 24 hour marathon on Christmas day Muppet's Christmas Carol- It's the Muppets, what's not to love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AznShortBoi8021 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I don't celebrate the "Christ" in Christmas, but I celebrate the "Giving-gifts-to-the-people-you-love-to-show-you-care-mas" part in Christmas. I'm going to watch the Polar Express this Giving-gifts-to-the-people-you-love-to-show-you-care-mas. I feel that The Passion of the Christ is too religious for my Atheist tastebuds and too bloody for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zburns999 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 .Polar Express-its a classic .The Grinch (original, just wouldn't be Christmas without it!) .Jingle all the Way-great movie .Home Alone 1 and 2-always puts me in the Christmas spirit .Claymation movies (or whatever that stuff is)-thos movies rock!

DerekRx Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I really can't stand Christmas, all the money I blow on people who either don't deserve what I give them or don't understand what I give them, the awful music heard for a good 30 days straight, and a good portion of the movies that are just way too sappy. The ones I do like though are: National Lampoons Christmas Vacation- just because The Year Without a Santa Claus- Four words; heat miser, snow miser! Mickey's Christmas Carol- its Disney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
