Tis The Season...

and I was wondering about everyone's favorite Christmas movie. For me, it's gotta be It's A Wonderful Life.

Elf hands down. It is incredibly immature, but it makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. It makes my kids belly laugh and thats a lot of the fun of watching

That's Steve's fav. He always has to watch it. John Candy always got on my nerves, bless him.

Close second, A Christmas Story. "You'll shoot your eye out, kid!" Love the deparment store Santa and his grumpy elves. And I would have loved to have had a great slide like that to go down after the visit! I can watch it all day and night, and have.

Christmas Story....National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

 

[fit2btied]

My favorite is 'Trapped in Paradise' followed closely by 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation', 'Elf', and 'The Santa Clause'. While 'Bad Santa' had some hilarious parts, it wasn't one I would want to sit down and watch with the grandkids.

A Christmas Story -- I went to see this as a teenager and thought it was the dumbest movie ever. Now I have a greater appreciation for the humor in it.

I also really like Elf. Will Ferrell is hilarious!

Am I the only one that hasn't seen It's a Wonderful Life?

...Am I the only one that hasn't seen It's a Wonderful Life?

I'm 53 and have never seen more than about 5 minutes of it.

yeah, I always thought it was a little weird. I haven't seen the whole thing either.

I'm 67 and never watched more than 5 minutes of "Its a wonderful life". I have a ex son-in-law that watches it every time he gets depressed, which is quite often. I think he is just full of himself!

A Christmas Story. Hands down! There is no competition.

Can't decide between A Christmas Story or Christmas in my hometown. .

A Christmas Story is great though. Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra Fa Ra Ra Ra. :lol:

But then again, I like watching A Charlie Brown Christmas too. It's a dad and daughter thing. :heart:

I agree. With "Miracle on 34th Street" a close second. A couple of oldies but goodies.

A Christmas Carol,the original with Alastair Cooke,I think.

Alastair Sim. Yes, I get all depressed if I can't watch that one every Christmas. It is the absolute best treatment of the Dickens classic. I am so glad you brought that up. Thought I was the only one! He's great. After that, there is a George C Scott version that's pretty good, too. I liked George C. Scott.

I can't believe that some of you have not given It's A Wonderful Life a chance. It is all about the a common man realizing that his common life was really extraordinary. Every time I watch it, it confirms my faith. I know grown men that cried when they watched it for the first time.

What do you think would change if you were never born?
