Forums - General - Christmas(holiday)movies: what are your favorites?

I hadn't saw a thread about this here, so I thought I'd start one up. I'd thought about starting this thread about a week ago, but got distracted from it. I just watched "A Very Brady Christmas" and it got me thinking about  starting this thread again. Let's hear what some of your favorite Christmas(or general holiday) movies are...

 I've always loved to watch Scrooged, Mickey's Christmas Carol, Christmas Story, Home Alone, and the old Rudolpf/Santa/etc clay-mation movies. I'm sure there are a few others I'm missing, so I'm just naming what comes to mind right now. Also, I particularly relish watching very cheesy Christmas episodes of my favorite tv shows(Boy Meets World, Golden Girls, and so on).

 More recently, I love to watch the Harry Potter movies around Christmas time(and throughout the year). They aren't necessarily Christmas movies, but they have Christmas elements and a very holiday feel to them. Love Actually is another very cool Christmas/holiday movie that I enjoy watching. I bought the dvd a few weeks ago while on vacation and watched it on the trip back home.

 I also thought I'd mention a newer movie I saw last week, Holiday in Handcuffs. It's as predictable a movie as they come, but that goes with the territory(though this one seems to be more guilty than the usual). It was an enjoyable cheese-fest, and besides, it's hard not to tune into a movie starring Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez.

So what about you guys and gals? I'd like to hear some of your favorite movies that pop up around this time of year. If people actually respond to this thread, I'm sure I'll end up kicking myself and saying "Oh yeah, how could I forget that one?!" a good bit.

Ummm... Alien Vs Predator: Requiem?? No, it's not a holiday movie but it's out for Christmas and the only movie I'm currently interested in seeing. Why do they release action/horrors at Christmas all the time anyway?

Shrek the Halls was quite good. Much better than Shrek 3...



 

there were release recently in France :

- American Gangster
- We own the Night

u can also add for best movie of the year :

Lives of others (= "Das Leben der Anderen" (the orignal german title))

Ok, thanks for responding guys, but I think at least some of you are missing the point of the thread. I'm talking about Christmas/holiday movies, not just any movie released during the holidays. I haven't saw all of those movies mentioned, so perhaps some of them have a holiday theme somewhere in the movie, but it doesn't sound like it.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is by far the greatest Christmas movie ever made. To doubt this claim is to forfeit your right to post on this forum.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
