I am watchin the Santa Clause 2... i love Chet.. hes just a baby lol!

I have to say.. I cant stand a Christmas story any more.. its ok soo much during the month of dec. It starts to get annoying. It is really annoying when you walk into the living room and everytime that movie is on!

I agree with Pirate 44 on It's a Wonderful Life as No. 1. James Stewart was great in it.

the whole cast i thought was a perfect match for each other. James Stewart and donna reed had amazing chemistry. Lionel Barrymore was classic as always and Gloria Grahame was smokin.
did you notice ol' Alfalfa (Carl Switzer) from the Little Rascals had a cameo?

I remember that Pirate 44 and the man who played the angel was outstanding too even though right now I don't remember his name. Thomas Mitchell as Stewart's uncle was great too. And Ward Bond was good as the policeman friend. A great cast in a great movie. Probably should have won best oscar. Strange the movie wasn't received that well when it came out.

A Christmas Story is great but when TNT has it on for 24 hours all day during Christmas Day, then yeah...it get's a wee bit annoying...

I just watched Elf a few weeks ago and that is a hilarious movie!

Home Alone is great too!

Hmm...i can't think of anymore...

Oh yeah, remember "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" also and "The Grinch" with Jim Carrey...that was a good one too...these are my opinions though...

Yes Pirate they were the same one. He was in lots of movies. He won the best supporting actor oscar for Statecoach with John Wayne. He appeared in a lot of John Wayne movies including The Quite Man which won an oscar for best picture.

Sorry, Reggie - I LOVE Scrooged. And thanks, NSUTrumpet for reminding about The Grinch with Jim Carey! Both are great.

Looks like you're going to need more than 5 on the list. :)

So... my generation grew up watching "Miracle on 34th Street." My kids grew up watching, "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." And we wonder what has happened to this generation. HA HA Just for the record, I like Christmas Vacation better!

My favorite animated is The Year Without a Santa Claus.

All of these are great movies!! But I do have a question about a Christmas movie... what is the deal with the slow (sort of depressing) music in "A Charlie Brown Christmas"? It was on t.v. last night.

Well, Charlie Brown is kinda a sad, little dude! Linus, his blanket and piano playing are the only cheerful things about that show. :thinking:

Now, for my list of favorite Christmas movies:

1. It's a Wonderful Life (and to think that the first time I watched this movie was like 5 years ago :eek: )
2. Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer
3. Charlie Brown's Christmas Special
4. Elf - "Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?" :D
5. Home Alone
6. Scrooged - Bill Murray is the MAN
7. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

**Sorry, Ranger Mom - Frosty the Snowman used to be a favorite of mine, but I watched it this year & it just seemed really blah. :doh:

Don't everyone shout at once, but I have never seen A Christmas Story. :o :eek:

Note to self - rent A Christmas Story

Don't worry, it will be on television every other day between now and Christmas....so you don't need to worry about renting it. Save yourself the $4! It is a pretty funny movie though!:)
