DATman Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 ^how is charlie and the chocolate factory a christmas movie?????
Nrthwnd Posted December 5, 2005 Author Posted December 5, 2005 ^how is charlie and the chocolate factory a christmas movie????? The same reason that 'The Wizard of Oz' seems to be shown around holiday times... Just because.
buttonman700 Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 There is snow inthe movie? It's not, but we really liked the movie, much more than Polar Express.
DATman Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Ugh, Polar Express was utter crap. The ONLY good part was when the fat kid yelled ELVES! It was hilarious!!!!!
cfc Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Christmas Story--note the ornament in my holiday avatar. Christmas Carol--any of a number of versions, but I am fond of the one with George C. Scott as Scrooge. We're No Angels--Now I am not talking about that wretched flick with Robert De Niro and Sean Penn (nearly unwatchable crap), but about a movie from the 1950s with Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov, Aldo Ray, and Basil Rathbone. As far as I know, it's the only Christmas movie set on Devil's Island. Bogie, Aldo, and Pete are three convicts who, along with their pet snake, Adolph, escape the prison and are trying to find a source of ready cash to book passage off the island. They glom onto to a family who run a little general store, planning to kill and rob them; but being as this is Christmas and all, they end up helping them out, instead. One of many funny moments: The three cons have just cooked Christmas dinner for the family, and Pete and Aldo lament how it just doesn't seem right to kill them now. Bogie berates them for being soft. "Beat their heads in! Gouge their eyes out! Cut their throats! Soon as we wash the dishes." It starts out a little slow, but stay with it--a charming little movie with just the right touch of dark humor. EDIT: Correcting fuzzy recollection of Bogie quote.
tinkerbell Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 The Year Without a Santa Claus- Four words; heat miser, snow miser! I love those guys! Best part of the movie.
alpengeistdude321 Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Elf and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Those two will never get old.
Nrthwnd Posted December 7, 2005 Author Posted December 7, 2005 Christmas music on the other hand....I can't stand it. Of course, I prefer Christmas music as it should be heard. As music. Full orchestras, some jazz versions, some rock versions, too. Songs with singing, tho.... I am not too kean on most of that. Even choral stuff can get me feeling icky. But orchestrated classic carols and pop songs are nice, when they're done well. IMhO.
stingrock23 Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 A Christmas Story Christmas Vacation For some reason I'm partial to the first 2 Home Alone movies. And last, but not least, Jack Frost (the cheesy one, not the one with Michael Keaton)
RtherBOnACoaster Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 I love The Grinch with Jim Carey. I think its the best holiday movie I've seen. 8)
M_Force_4_ever Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Christmas vaction and christmas story both are funny and awesome
Coaster Palooza Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 My list is a little long, but I love all these movies: Christmas Story (I will watch all 24 hours of it, or until my wife tells me to turn it off!) Planes, Trains, and Automobiles It’s a Wonderful Life National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Grinch (Cartoon) All the old 30 minute shorts (Santa Claus is coming to town, Rudolph the red-nose reindeer, Frosty the snowman, etc.) Home Alone, the original Elf, slowly becoming a classic Polar Express, I saw this last year in the IMAX theatre. It was awesome! I’m sure there are some more, but this is my list for now.
ChrisZer0 Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Christmas Story Its A Wonderful Life Santa Claus Conquers the Martians ( A cheesy 1960's z-grade classic) Christmas Vacation
CoasterFanatic Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Christmas Story Christmas Vacation Miracle on 34th Street Bad Santa
coasterguy618 Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 National Lampoons Christmas Vacation or A Christmas Story. Both great movies.
bigjohnson51 Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 a christmas story- this is the ONLY holiday movie worth watching
