Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night

[hils]

jacqui_hw and I have started working through all our Christmas films. Last night we watched Miracle on 34th Street (which I love) and tonight we watched The Santa Clause (which I loved desite the whiny child)

What's your favourite Christmas film?

And on that note I am having the early night I very much need

Die Hard?

Die Hard is a Christmas film!...sort of...

Ahem.

I don't know why but I liked The Polar Express despite the shmaltz and that most people hate Tom Hanks.

And obviously there's The Nightmare Before Christmas :)

Has to be 'It's a Wonderful Life' just has to be, for me. I've always loved it since I first saw it.

(and for the zany part of me, it also has to be 'A Nightmare Before Christmas' but that's partly down to my Tim Burton love.)

Agreed and Agreed! Great taste!

Muppet Christmas Carol. Shut up, I love it. ;)

[vichan.livejournal.com]

Muppet Christmas Carol, probably.

Although 'A Christmas Story' has a special place in my heart, especially considering quite a lot of it was filmed in my neighborhood. A lot of people hate it, but I think that's because it's overplayed. (A station over here plays it for 24 hours straight on Christmas.)

Dude, I posted the same answer as you about five seconds later. I love that flick.

We used to watch it every year at uni as the late night picture in our local cinema, so it has extra sentimental fluffy sparkly xmas value to me. ;)

Muppet Christmas Carol!! It's the only way I like my Dickens -- with a nice big dose o' stoopid!

[vichan.livejournal.com]

My family watches it every year when we're setting up the Christmas tree. Drives my dad insane when me, my mom, and my sister are all singing along.

A Christmas Story. it's just full of so much awesome :D

[drusplace.livejournal.com]

A CHRISTMAS STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can watch that in July.

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

I love A Christmas Story. I have to watch it whenever it's on. The Bumpus Hounds and the Leg Lamp are just so classic!

Also love the Grinch. Animated and Jim Carrey! :)

Funny, I mentioned Polar Express to Jacqui last night. I love it in spite of my loathing for Tom Hanks

[hils.livejournal.com]

Oh, God, It's A Wonderful Life make me want to throw up ;)

Nightmare Before Christmas, on the other hand, is awesome!

[hils.livejournal.com]

Good choice!

[hils.livejournal.com]

I would never have even thought of that

[hils.livejournal.com]

Aww! It's lovely, although I prefer Muppet Family Christmas

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hee! I have never seen A Christmas Story

[hils.livejournal.com]

It's certainly the only Dickens I can tolerate

[hils.livejournal.com]

Never seen it

[hils.livejournal.com]

I've never seen it :(

[hils.livejournal.com]

OOH, yes, I love the animated Grinch movie

[bluemoon02.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know -- have you seen the South Park version of Great Expectations? That's quite entertaining.

[hils.livejournal.com]

LOL! No, I haven't

[rosebud81.livejournal.com]

My fave xmas movie is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

It's tradition. We watch it every xmas day! x

[hils.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's a brilliant film!

[ender24]

Little Lord Fauntleroy !!
whenever I am home , and not too busy watching and filming and making pics of my family, and recording all their christmassy chaos, and visiting my gazillion uncles and aunts and cousins, and eating without end, I watch little lord fauntleroy :D
and Sissi! trilogy, hahah, coz its the most adorable German Kitsch ever, and they show it in december at least ten times!

[hils.livejournal.com]

Little Lord Fauntleroy !!

I don't think I have ever seen that either

I will be watching Dinner For One at New Year though ;)

[ender24]

you should see it, its soooooooo cute and hahaha british!
at least, how i imagine it!

and dinner for one, I remember for years i had been watching it every year, coz my best friend in highschool was a fan :)

[hils.livejournal.com]

I'd never see it until I was visiting my German friend at New Year once and she insisted we watch it

my German friend at New Year once

[ender24]

hahha, yeah, i can see!
for some Germans , they see it as some sort of tradition to watch in every New Year!

[debauched-angel.livejournal.com]

A Christmas Story, Muppet Christmas Carol and, how could I forget, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!

Not so much of a Christmas movie, but Mr Rune and I love watching it at this time of year ... or would if we could get a copy on DVD rather than VHS - its called 'Driving me Crazy' in the UK and 'Dutch' in the USA, and stars Ed O'Neil from Married With Children - an awesome movie. If anyone knows where I could acquire a copy I'd be very grateful :)

Oh! A Christmas film marathon? That sounds like an awesome idea! :D

My favourite Christmas films are:
- Love Actually
- Trading Places
- Santa Claus (that very old one about the toy factory that gets modernised)
- The Grinch

I suck at making decisions, apparently.

And now I want to watch them all. :D
