Favorite Christmas Movies.

[sunoftheskye]

I'm kind of starting to get into the Christmas spirit, and I'm wondering what everyone's favorite Christmas movies are.

Some of mine.

And yesss, the sequel.

The third one was okay too.

Does annnnyone remember this movie? lol. My brother and I watched it all the time.

I grew up with the classic Christmas movies and prefer them to the new movies. For instance, I much prefer the 1947 version of Miracle on 34'th Street:

I also prefer the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol with Alistair Sim:

And then there's George and Clarence with Bert and Ernie:

Yesterday, I found a used copy of this at my favourite second-hand media store. The perfect way to hold onto (regain?) my youth:

It's not an Christmas film (not even a film, it's a mini-series) but I saw it a few years back around Xmastime and it's become some sort of a tradition for me to watch it during Xmas holidays.

The 10th Kingdom, it is a faerytale fantasy mini about a young woman from New York (the mythical 10th kingdom) who's drawn into the world of the 9 kingdoms where faerytales come from (apparently the Grimm brothers visited at one point). There she gets mixed up in the evil queen's plot to take over the kingdoms. It's such a fantastic and cute story and it doesn't hurt that one of the main characters, Wolf (a half human half wolf - not a werewolf) is to die for ^^

The original Home Alone is always a classic, haven't seen the 2nd one in ages, so I can't say much about that one. I also love Bad Santa

"A Christmas Carol" (the 1951 version with Alastair Sim) is not only my favorite Christmas movie, but is tied for my choice for all-time favorite movie (tied with GoodFellas). I watch this movie every Christmas Eve and never tire of it.

A Christmas Story.

I can't imagine Christmas without watching Ralphie shooting his eye out with a Red Ryder turbo action BB gun for 24 hours on TNT.

'A Christmas Story' - Siskel & Ebert At the Movies 1983

Ralphie's house has been restored and is now a museum. (Scroll down the page to see a cast reunion photo.)
