OT: Your favorite Christmas movies

[AZHuskiePop]

A great made for TV Christmas movie is Coming Home which turned into the long running show The Waltons. A story about a family trying to gather for the holiday despite the dad having to be separated, seeking employment, during the Great Depression.

Despite my misgivings Elf was a pretty good movie.

It's interesting that no one suggested Christmas in Connecticut (the 1945 film, not the 1992 remake) with Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan, Sydney Greenstreet. Just sayin'.

Like many others, my favorite is A Christmas Carol, the 1951 version with Alastair Sim.

No love for Hallmark movies?

Try:
A Christmas to Remember
A Crown for Christmas
Christmas in Conway
A Season for Miracles
Fallen Angels

I have a Hallmark drinking game that is a wonderful way to watch- when certain situations appear in a movie, the viewer has to take a drink

I'm surprised you missed "Mystic Christmas" since it was filmed in CT

That's because this isn't the Women's Board.

No order...

Christmas Chronicles
Die Hard
The Santa Clause
FXs A Christmas Carol
Home Alone ("Polka-polka! Polka...!!)
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas
A Christmas Story

Serious question for those who believe Diehard qualifies as a Christmas movie: Why doesn't the same logic apply to the first Lethal Weapon movie?

Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. It’s a movie that takes place at Christmas.

The Shop Around the Corner (1940)

 

[AdamaNation]

Home Alone
Home Alone 2

Tried watching it twice, for some reason couldn't continue. Will have to make it next year.

I'm an old man, so my favorites are the classics.
White Christmas
Holiday Inn
It's a wonderful life
Miracle on 34th Street
Although it's technically not a Christmas movie ala DIE Hard,
Going My Way's climatic scene takes place on Christmas eve, so I call it one.

 

[Huskyhoops25]

Miracle on 34th Street. (The original one, not the Richard Attenborough abomination.) It is, by far, the best Christmas movie.

I concur!

 

[Conndog]

An older forgotten Christmas movie I like a lot is “Remember the Night” starring Fred Macmurray and Barbara Stanwyck. Some very sweet scenes are in it, snd I love how it shows old fashioned holidays where folks provided their own entertainment
