Your Christmas movies?

[TastesLikeChicken]

Over the years the wife and I have certain movies that we routinely watch every Christmas season:

Scrooged - watching Carol Kane punch Bill Murray always makes me laugh

Miracle on 34th Street - the best PR that USPS ever had

A Christmas Story - "You'll shoot your eye out, kid"

White Christmas - Vera-Ellen had some of the best legs to ever appear on the big screen

A Christmas Carol - the one with Alistair Sim

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - Classic Chevy Chase

Rudolf The Red-Nosed Reindeer - Horrible stop-animation...but the nostalgia of watching this as a kid still makes it mandatory

So what are yours?

Add Family Man, The Santa Clause, Bad Santa, etc...

Christmas Story is the only one that really matters.


Scrooged is a good pick.


And I used to do the Rudolph (clay) and Frosty (cartoon) pretty regularly, but I don't really care anymore. Same with Grinch.


Anyone recall Emmit Otter's Jugband Chistmas?

We drove my dad goddamn nuts with that one, every year. several times a day. It was glorious.

And I used to do the Rudolph (clay)

Was there also a Rudolph claymation version? The original used figurines and was stop-motion.

Just watched Trapped in Paradise the other night. I forgot about this one. It's okay.

A Christmas Story is great, but I no longer need to see it every year.

Haven't seen It's a Wonderful Life for a few years, might watch it.

Not a fan of Will Farrell but for whatever reason I love Elf.

Roseanne "White Trash Christmas" episode


Holiday Inn (the prequel to White Christmas)

and an old movie I watched growing up called "The Christmas that almost wasn't"
The whole movie is available on youtube if you care.

 

[JManInPhoenix]

Haven't seen it in years but the Scrooge with Patrick Stewart.

I feel like this is something that Netflix is terrible at is special events. They might not have a say in some of it (other places paying for exclusive access, like I believe I remember hearing that TBS paid for exclusive rights to show A Christmas Story), or it might be money or something but its always disappointing that they don't have certain films at the time you'd like to see them. Like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, they had it like 2 weeks before Thanksgiving but then removed it. I recall last year Scrooged and several other holiday movies showed up after New Year's. It was like, WTF, why wouldn't you have them when people want to watch them?

As for the original question, I watch the Always Sunny Christmas, some of the Futurama ones. I'd watch like the Simpsons and some other shows' Christmas ones but I don't have the DVDs for them and Fox is apparently keeping Simpsons back log locked up. Wasn't the very first Simpsons episode a Christmas one? The one where they get Santa's Little Helper?

Watched Die Hard 2 on Friday, that was kind of fun.

Usually Elf and Christmas Vacation are the the go to flicks. Love Actually and Scrooged are good choices too.
