Favorite Holiday Movies

Miracle on 34th Street

(has to be the original one, though)

A Christmas Story - check out joefromchicago's avatar for a reference to it.

oh thats a great movie too ... i watched bits and peices of it this holiday season... seen it once all the way through.. now i only like to atch my favorite parts

I like that movie as well, but I can't take it when he gets his tongue attached to the poll. ewwwwwwww

lol actually did that to a friend... warm water works wonders for that....

I have three. All on dvd.
"Pocketful of Miracles". It took 3 tries to watch it all the way through.
"Period of Adjustment." circa 1960. Tony Franciosa, Jim Hutton and Jane Fonda so luscious, she's almost vulgar. I love this movie. When she starts bawling on the phone with her daddy, 'precious daddy' she calls him, I'm on the floor. It cracks me up everytime.
"The Apartment." started watching it last night, finished watching it this morning.
My Christmas movie watching is complete.

I know I've answered a thread like this before...(Starting to think that pretty often...guess everything comes around a couple of times.)

I do really like to see a few during Christmas season.

The Ref (Currently rotated up to my favorite.)

This year I opted against The Christmas Story. I'll wait a couple of years, and then maybe I'll want to see it again. It sort of lost whatever it had, for me. Maybe oversaturation... For the past couple of years, a couple of stations have played it 24 hrs. There should be a law...

The National Lampoon/Chevy Chase movie. Still cracks me up.

It's a Wonderful Life. (This one just came off of hiatus. I haven't seen it in a couple of years. I laughed at some parts this year for the first time in several years.)

Home Alone (Is on hiatus. I didn't laugh at it last year. Not even the spider on the face scream. A sure sign it was time to give it a rest.)

Home For the Holidays Rotated to the top of my list.

I don't know why I never liked Miracle of 34th Street.

I feel like I'm forgetting some...

Jingle All the Way

me too

We always watch "Scrooged" with Bill Murray. And "A Christmas Story". Though I have to admit Christmas Story seemed a little tired this year. Giving it a rest for a year is probably a good idea.

The early 50s version of "A Christmas Carol" with the British actor Alastair Sim, and a small part by an impossibly young Patrick MacNee.
