The Santa clause was a good christmas movie too. I forgot about that movie. I'm not talking about tim allens santa clause, but that is a destined classic aswell. I am talking about the other one, about the elf who made candy canes that made you fly.

botankus
I only really bother to watch A Christmas Story because I grew up with it on TV all the time.

Alpha Centauri
I love "The Nightmare Before Christmas", Hell who doesn't?

I loved the two "Home Alone" movies but they didn't really capture the Christmas essence for me.

I loved the movie "Santa Claus" because it just captured the essence unlike any other. My Grandfather is in it for a couple of seconds, he's an elf.

Isn't Die Hard a Christmas movie too if Home Alone is? lol

Hey, does anyone know the name of that movie where the a troll prince is turned into a gnome because he's not heartless? There's a song, here are some lyrics;

"Gods loves all he makes, Even mean old trolls, That's why he sent his only son, So we can live anew..."

I don't remember anything else. They used to show it every Christmas, but lately it's been new, stupid movies.

Help would be very nice, though big grin

jova362002
My #1 all time fave christmas movie is one from the late 80's/early 90's ( i think). I can't remember the name, and hopefully someone here can. It's about a girl who gets upset because her father can't come home for christmas, so she stops believing in santa. She gets on a bus because she's gonna go find her dad, and santa is sitting next to her. They go on this journey to find him, and at some point they end up in some warehouse, a sleigh race, santa's in jail, and at the end they find her dad playing piano in a mall. Anyone know the name of that movie?

Elastigirl
1. A Christmas Story
2. A Charlie Brown Christmas
3. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
4. Home Alone
5. Scrooged

Also, I've never seen "It's a Wonderful Life."

Aku
That one where they take santa to court. Something like Christmas on 34th street or something. Bad Santa is likley to be the worst ever x-mas movie.

jynkers
That movie IS called Christmas on 34th Street, like a previous person said. Now, can someone help me with my Christmas movie? The one with the troll prince turned gnome?

AH HA! I just went looking for myself, and discovered that he title of my movie is The Little Troll Prince! Here's a good summery:


"A little gnome, who used to be a troll where everything is backwards, where good is bad and bad is good, tells why he loves Christmas and how he discovered the gift of God's love. Features the voices of Vincent Price, Jonathan Winters, Cloris Leachman, and Don Knotts."

Aku
Yeh its called "The Magic Tale Of Christmas"

jynkers
What is called The Magic Tale of Christmas?!? Did I miss something?

Spike Eccles
it may be predictable, but honestly, It's A Wonderful Life is the ultimate Xmas film. And yet, i don't know why. It's dark, its sombre, and for about 90 minutes of its running time, there isn't much mention of Xmas or of events being anything like festive, and yet...when the film kicks in and Potter does the dirty of good ol' Jimmy Stewart, the goosebumps arrive and the movie grabs you. Also, the ending - which is admittedly Xmas-card-like - rounds off the drama so well that you forget about the darkness and the fact that the film's villain survives to fight on another day and probably get his hands of Bedford Falls.
There is no comparison; Santa Claus the movie? Elf? Scrooged?

I think not

miahera
Holiday Inn!
Charlie Brown Christmas

Elektra_lover

I finally got around to seeing "Elf", and loved it. I'm not that big a fan of "A Christmas Story", because "Home Alone" has kind of wormed its way into my heart.

pinsleepe

It's a Wonderfull Life.


My mom watches that every year. It's actually got alot of funny humor in it, for an old film.

"I'll call the police!"
"There all the way on the other side of town. They'd be on my side too."

laughing out loud

JediSamuraiMRB
It's a Wonderful Life. Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman. Twas the Night before Christmas. White Christmas.

It's a Wonderful Life

Christmas Story for me. Grew up with it, and watch it every year.

I remember one year, when I was a little boy, on Christmas eve I was too excited to sleep, so I stayed up all night watching the TNT marathon of Christmas Story, watched it like 4 times. Love that movie.

botankus
Movies only:

Christmas Story
It's a Wonderful Life

Jingle All The Way

chillmeistergen
Home Alone.

=Tired Hiker=
1. Die Hard
2. Lethal Weapon
3. A Christmas Story
4. Bad Santa
5. Natl. Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Impediment
I don't know if I'd consider Die Hard an actual Xmas movie. A spectacular action movie, yes, but Xmas? I dunno.......




I'd also like to agree with Preston and say "Bad Santa". F*cking great movie.

Yes, Bad Santa is a classic. And I knew there would be some disagreement with Die Hard and Lethal Weapon being considered as "Christmas movies", but it is very arguable, and in my book they are Christmas movies, on a different level of course, but I can see how one could disagree, and I respect that.

Same... it's also on my 'Top 5' all time favorite movies. A true classic.

"Scut Farkus! What a rotten name! There he stood, between us and the alley. Scut Farkus staring out at us with his yellow eyes. He had yellow eyes! So, help me, God! Yellow eyes!"

"Grover Dill! Scut Farkus' little toadie. Mean! Rotten! His lips curled over his green teeth. "

"Randy lay there like a slug! It was his only defense!"

"Fra-gee-lay. That must be Italian."

Bad Santa is another good one, though not sure it classifies as a true "Christmas Movie". Raindeer Games could be considered a Christmas Movie by the same standards, damn, that was a horrible flick, surprised Gary Senise signed into that.

I can dig that. I usually watch Aliens every christmas eve, and Die Hard does make you think of x-mas. nothing inspires christmas quite like seeing John Mclane kill a few dozen terrorist baddies

Dude, i looks forward to that 24 hour marathon of a christmas story every year. it's a tradition i hope TnT continues forever

BackFire
Right on. I love it.

Impediment
"A Christmas Story", I must admit, is one of my least favorite Xmas movies ever.

SelphieT
A Christmas Story is one of my favorites. My dad and I reference it all the time.

And its a true tradition, that my father and I watch the Nightmare Before Christmas, EVERY Christmas. Except for two years, where he was in Iraq, and when he moved away from me a week before Christmas.

ariwin
I am such a sucker for all of these movies! It just doesn't feel like christmas without watching them! I love all of the classics, A Christmas Story, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Very Charlie Brown Christmas... but I also have to admit original TV holiday movies are one of my biggest guiltiest pleasures. ABC Family always has great ones... this year there is one called Holiday in Handcuffs with Mario Lopez (AC Slater) and Melissa Joan Heart... bring on the cheezy fun!
