Favorite Christmas movie?

[Creeper]

I'm 51. It just wasn't my thing.

It's a late 1940s, early 1950s timeframe. I was born in 1952 so some of it I appreciated. But it is also a story about a kids, or group of kids and his Christmas wish. My parents would get me a BB gun either!

I’m 41 and not a fan, but it was on 24 hours during Christmas, so unavoidable. It’s got some funny moments.

Tons of greats mentioned here.
I will include one you may have missed.
The Christmas Chronicles, starring Kurt Russell.
There's also a sequel that's decent but the 1st one is good enough to watch every year.

Die Hard (already watched it this year)
Home Alone (currently watching)
Jingle all the Way
Elf
Batman Returns

I forgot to add Trading Places, close enough to a Christmas movie

Scrooged. A role Bill Murray was born to play and just a great Christmas movie!

I forgot Christmas Vacation. There was a lot of good stuff in that movie.

Die Hard for sure. Ever notice the terrorist that is at the front desk looks EXACTLY like Huey Lewis?

It ISN'T Huey Lewis?

Here's my Top 3:

1. Christmas Vacation
2. Elf
3. The original Grinch 30-minute cartoon

For those who have kids and also enjoy Nativity flicks, I'd encourage you to watch "The Star" on Netflix. Keeps the kids entertained while also delivering the message.

No it isn’t but he’s a dead ringer for HL, isn’t he?

I've always been so confident it was him that I never looked it up!

My 1st place pick is by far and above......A Christmas Carol! That story by Charles Dickens was an all time classic.
There are two versions both a lot alike, One starring George C Scott and the other version starring Patrick Stewart. Both those guys did a tremendous job portraying Scrooge.

Home Alone was another great movie!
