Christmas movies, what's your fav?
A few of the best vintage ones (i.e. It's A Wonderful Life, Christmas Story) are on cable round the clock (gag). As much as I have enjoyed them, I don't care to see them again, and again, and again.
Does anyone have suggestions for more recent Christmas movies? Ones that could be rented on DVDs, not in theaters. So, recent as in the past 5 or so yrs, but not this year.

Every time I turn around, I wonder where I've been.
Time to stop turning round, I guess.

I like the one with Santa Claus and the little girl who doesn't believe. It ends with a big courtroom scene and the little girl getting a home and family. I can't believe I can't remember the title.

That's Miracle on 34th Street. It has Maureen O'Hara in it.
I remember Christmas morning was when they'd show The Wizard of Oz. It was a ritual and it worked. It kept us out of the grown-ups' hair for a couple of hours. I guess structured religions have their uses.

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

While it's not a Christmas movie per se, there's no bad time of year for the Secret of Roan Inish.

Christmas Story for sure. I was a huge fan of Jean Shepherd who wrote the stories that the movie is based on and who narrates the movie. He also has a cameo: when Ralphie and his brother get on line to Santa, Shepherd is the guy who tells him to go to the back of the line.
Shepherd was an outstanding story teller, and this movie is based on several of his stories much abbreviated and woven into one story. Get a collection of his short stories eg In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash.
On a different note, last night we watched Santa Claus Defeats The Martians and had a blast!

Not exactly a Christmas movie, but my favorite this time of year is Holiday with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant.
Actual Christmas movies, the Grinch and Charlie Brown are my favorites. And the Mr Bean episode with the goose stuck on his head.

I have the MST3k version. It really speaks for itself; it's not much of a challenge for Crow and Tomservo.Flyingcursor wrote:All versions and permutations of A Christmas Carol
Like Brewerpaul I have Santa Claus Conquers the Martains. A hilariously bad movie.
