movies/tv Favorite Christmas movies.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

It's a Wonderful Life, The Nightmare Before Christmas (doubles as a Halloween movie), and Olive the Other Reindeer all of these my family can sit down to watch but if there's one that I have to say is a favorite it would be . . . A Christmas Story. So simple, so humble, so frank but heartfelt. 

[Denim&Venöm 21,262]

Most of what I like has been mentioned. Miracle on 34th street. The original Grinch. Home Alone. 

 

But there's two underrated classics that are closer to home than you think

 

 

Both films are underrated. Good animation. Nice musical scores and decent characters. The latter being the last great MLP release prior to FiM. 

[Luna 831 468]

Home Alone

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation

Santa Claus

How the grinch stole christmas

Every version of the christmas carol

it's a beautiful life

 

And a few others i haven't on my mind yet.

Jingle all the way the Santa Claus Charlie Brown Christmas.

[Emiko Gale 200]

The first two Santa Clause movies are also funny and heartwarming.

[LHfunk 422]

Elf, Polar Express and Home Alone 1 and 2.

[MLPFanatic34 3,241]

Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, Disney's A Christmas Carol (with Scrooge and Mickey), Die Hard (it is a Christmas movie), and Krampus.

[gamecubeguy214 2,516]

It may be May, but I want to share my opinion here. I LOVE the series of the movies simply called Santa Claus. Particularly, Santa Claus 2 was my favorite. We need to watch it this November or December.

[Wind Chaser 4,769]

-The Polar Express

-Home Alone (and 2 as well, it's still funny even if it's recycled)

-Christmas is Here Again (2007)

-A Christmas Story

-A Christmas Carol (specifically the Alastair Sim one)

-Miracle on 34th Street (the original)

-It's a Wonderful Life (only the last 20-40 minutes of it)

-The original Chuck Jones Grinch, not that Ron Howard/Jim Carrey spaz attack.

-The Santa Clause

-A Charlie Brown Christmas (had more balls than Die Hard if you ask me)

-Mickey's Christmas Carol, an acquired taste.

 

Guilty pleasures:

 

-Anything Rudolph-related, including both the original and the 1998 film. They'd all make great RiffTrax/parody material, especially the sequels.

 

-Anything from Rankin/Bass, again would be great RiffTrax material if people didn't let nostalgia stop them.

 

-Die Hard...seriously, I feel like punching people straight in the fucking face every time they bring up that criminally overrated movie in a conversation like this. Not a Christmas movie. It's an action movie set during Christmas. There's a difference. Because fuck you, it's Die Hard.

 

 

PS, Die Hard was released in July.

i liked a lor of christmas special. but ill select powerpuff girls one

[Bit Boss 213]

Frozen has become my xmas tradition movie. Also perhaps not really a Christmas movie, but still Winter-y is Rise of The Guardians. There's a great one by Ardman Animation studio called Arthur Christmas, have you guys heard of it? It's VERY British

I also see from previous comments that Die Hard is contentious, but it's a good alternative to kid's xmas movies or other soppy stuff. Plus Alan Rickman

[gamecubeguy214 2,516]

My favorite Christmas movie was Santa Claus 2. I watched it as a young child and I remember really liking the things in it. I haven't rewatched it in forever though.

 

EDIT: Oh I already posted here lmao

"The Man Who Came To Dinner" is a wonderful Christmas movie as well.

 

 

So is "The Thin Man" There's a wonderful silly scene with Nick Charles shooting balloons off of the Christmas tree with the B-B gun Nora gave him.

(I found the scene!)

[Victoria Sponge 1,020]

As creepy as it is I absolutely love the Polar Express, that's a favourite of mine.

 

I also love Elf, that was a good film.

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,629]

-Home Alone 

-Home Alone 2

-How the Grinch Stole Christmas (starring Jim Carrey)

-Ernest Saves Christmas

-Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys

-National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

-I'll Be Home For Christmas

-Bah, Humduck!

[AaronMk 281]

Joyeux Noel is a pretty good Christmas movie.

 

[StormBlaze 994]

Our must watch on Christmas Eve and Day:

-Muppets Christmas Carol

- Elf

- The Snowman/Father Christmas (might be UK only?)

- The Polar Express

- The Tailor of Gloucester (UK only again?)

- Robbie the Reindeer (UK only again?)

 

I have no idea if any of the UK made cartoons go abroad or not. 

 

Then just on run up to Christmas we tend to watch these:

- Home Alone 1 and 2

- National Lampoon

- Jingle all the Way

- The Santa Clause

- Die Hard (ITS A CHRISTMAS FILM!) 

 

I forgot about the Mickey Mouse Christmas Cartoons! Once Upon a Christmas is SO GOOD!!! I just love the Goofy and Max story. 

And Christmas Carol with Scrooge McDuck, a true classic.
