I love the old classic movies, and wondered what the rest of you like to watch for Christmas. It's a Wonderful Life is my favorite, but I sure would like to watch some that I've never seen.

I am so glad someone has asked this, I had planned to come on and recommend our favorite:
"A House Without A Christmas Tree" with Jason Robards, 1972. It's a heart warming story.
Now a close second is "A Charlie Brown Christmas" for sure, I never tire of watching any of CB movies. It wasn't until we watched the special on Charles Schultz did we really understand what they were about.
Some of the old movies mentioned I 'actually saw' when they came out in the theaters! White Christmas with Bing Crosby I saw in Boston when I was a young girl.
Christmas should have been my middle name, I love everything about it.....Hannah |

I'd have to go with "It's a Wonderful Life", "White Christmas" and "The Christmas Story" in no particular order...just depends on how I'm feeling at the time.

Charlie Brown Xmas..cause Snoopy is the coolest, & LOVE Linus's speech
& any of those goofy movies Lifetime shows taking place in a small town with neat old farmhouses, a sense of community & LOTS of snow. Don't know any of their names cause there really is no plot to mention.. Just love the small town settings, farmhouses & SNOW..
Oh & I also love to watch Midnight Mass-I always wrap presents during this

I think that "Christmas Story" is my favorite. It's so close to the realities of my childhood.....for escaping to that wonderful world of Hollywood I like "Holiday Inn", "Christmas In Connecticut" and "Miracle on 34th. Street". I also like to watch "Meet John Doe". Aside from loving Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck(best clothes in the movies). The hope and good old American spirit in that one makes me feel good.

Kay, the same day I posted that I wanted to see Christmas in Connecticut, I saw it was in the free movie section on my cable providers "on demand". You're right, what a great movie! |

Ohhhhhh ~ it is so hard to choose. But I think I would have to say Little Women (the original version)... and It's a Wonderful Life ... and Miracle on 34th Street (original version). I knew I couldn't choose just one!

For us, it isn't Christmas without:
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Charlie & The Chocolate Factory
Charlie Brown Christmas
I really enjoy the Beaumont University (Tennessee)'s Christmas Concert that they host on PBS each year.

Ok, Little Women (the newest version with Susan Sarandon), Holiday Inn and my new Favorite, Olive, the other Reindeer (with voices by Michael Stipe of REM and Drew Barrymore)...it's cooky, but VERY cute.

It's a Wonderful Life is one of my favorites, along with the Christmas Story.
But no Christmas is complete without viewing National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

It's a Wonderful Life is my all time favorite..but I also love Christmas Story, and both versions of the Grinch, and last night watched one called SnowGlobe that was really cute! Usually I am not crazy about the newer ones...but that was a cute one.
The Santa Clause Movies (all three) are favorites with my family too...we will watch almost any Christmas movie!!

It's White Christmas for me followed by any other Christmas movie that I can possibly watch. I love Christmas movies. Last night I watched Christmas in Connecticut with Barbara Stanwyck. If you haven't seen it you're in for a treat.

I love National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, too! The year that it came out, we had a terrible ice storm and our furnace went out, so we got to go to a hotel in Nashville the night before Christmas Eve because it was too cold to be in our house, and my whole family went to see it in the theater. Now, every year when we get together we watch it. I think I know every line. ;) |
