FAVORITE HOLIDAY MOVIE

[oldguyinTX]

What;s tour favorite holiday movie? Mine is an Irving Berlin film, Holiday Inn, with Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, Marjorie Reynolds, and Virginia Dale.

[mxz600]

Not much into the older classics. I'm more of a "Home Alone", "Christmas Vacation" or "Elf" kind of guy.

My favorite holiday movie would have to be "Diehard".

[Bob Denman]

This is easy" "It's A Wonderful Life" :bowdown:

But there are lots of good ones out there:
"A Christmas Carol"
"White Christmas"
"Miracle on 34th Street"

"Christmas Story" and "Die Hard" make the list of newer classics! :thumbup:

[easysuper]

:agree: Holiday Inn !

[blacklightning]

"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" with Chevy Chase et al.
:agree: That is my favorite too. I also like "Christmas Story" with the leg lamp (I hope that is the correct name of the movie).

In 2012 a bunch of us in our family thought it would be fun to enter the
Christmas Parade in Sonora California, just for kicks... so we all dressed up
as the characters in the Christmas Story and make up a float we even had the
soundtrack from the movie along with the big HO HO HO playing and you will
shoot your eye out.... here are some pictures, we made the front page of the local paper..

:agree: .. Very good for one of the newer movies , but as a kid I watched Laurel & Hardy's " Babes in Toyland " my brother and I watched that about 200 times , we really liked when the Creatures ? were eaten by the Crocodiles :clap: :yes: :yes: :yes: and also the Original version of " Scrooge " with Alastair Sim " .... Mike :thumbup:....PS I wish there was a Christmas tree emoge !!! ..... How about it Bob \, you know every emoge in existence .

[PrairieSpyder]

That looks like it was fun, Dave.

My favorites are Christmas Story and It's a Wonderful Life. Miracle on 34th Street (the old B&W version with Natalie Wood) is right up there, too.

Another I like that is a bit off-beat is "Miracle in the Wilderness." It's about a pioneer couple with an infant son who are captured by indians. The chief plans to kill the parents and raise their son as his, in revenge for the death of his own son. But tensions are eased when the wife relates the story of Jesus with all the characters imagined in Native-American terms.

I have the VHS for L & H Babes in Toyland. I also watch that one. It is actually pretty classy for an operetta. Good music and signing. :yes::yes:

Without going back at the moment--I think they were the Bogeymen. How about the toys that Laurel squandered the money on??

That's what I thought also ( bogeymen ), but also thought that was too ordinary ..... well my recollection of them was they saved the day ........ Mike :thumbup:

[canamjhb]

"It's A Wonderful Life" hands down for me. I think the animations were way ahead of their time. And I have several personal connections with the film. First off, I always have been in love with Donna Reed, the movie was released the year I was born, I spent my adult life in the banking business and my name is Bailey. So, it is MY movie.....

What;s tour favorite holiday movie? Mine is an Irving Berlin film, Holiday Inn, with Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, Marjorie Reynolds, and Virginia Dale.

Two movies come to mind. Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo, and White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye.

Wow, I just can't imagine all of you big Macho Men sitting around the living room polishing your guns and loading you own bullets while you watch "It's A Wonderful Life" and "TheChristmas Story"! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

[Bob Denman]

:lecturef_smilie: There WAS some gunplay in "It's A Wonderful Life"... nojoke

And "White Christmas" had a really nice Willys MB in a scene or two. :thumbup:

As always Bob, you are correct! Merry Christmas!:yes:

[Bob Denman]

:D Right back atcha!! :thumbup:

[SL Ken]

Mixed Nuts with Steve Martin, Madeline Kahn and Adam Sandler. A Christmas tradition for last 20 years or thereabouts.

[Little Blue]

I Enjoy 'It's a Wonderful Life', This has been a long time favorite of the family. LB:clap::clap::clap::clap:

[sylvester]

White Christmas with Bing Crosby Danny Kay Rosemary Clooney

[Arion]

It doesn't appeal to some, but "Love Actually" is one of our favorite Christmas films. It's certainly not a children's movie but it is, in its own right, funny and charming and sad and honest. To each his own even with regard to Christmas movies.
