Title: What's your favorite Christmas Movie?
Post by: OniWolf on December 17, 2007, 06:45:13 PM
As the topic states, what is your favorite Christmas movie?  Mine would probably be Miricle on 34th Street or It's A Wonderful Life.

I think you're a bit confused, HNS. The Harry Potter movies are about underage wizards and their epic struggle against the forces of evil, not the birth of our lord Baby Jebus. (http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p55/Commodore_Axilon/Forum%20Crap/teacher.gif)

My favorite Christmas movie would be National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It always brings joy to my heart to remember that Chevy Chase actually used to be funny.

I'm not sure that Jesus condones the use of witchcraft.

The Santa Clause and Home Alone.  The first is just a great movie, and Home Alone is just hilarious!  The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (the cartoon one) I think is translated into Latin :-\

That was actually a joke about ABC Family; apparently, one scene during Christmas time is enough to make a movie a Christmas movie to them.

Christmas Story
Christmas Vacation
How the Grinch Stole Christmas(Classic version)
It's A Wonderful Life

I'm surprised at the lack of It's A Wonderful lives on this topic.

Exactly, HNS. Which is why I vote South Park.

Anyways, I like It's a Wonderful Life, saw it for the first time last monday. I love the nostalgic value in watching the old Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer with the whole clay animation and everything from the 60's.

Better than the err... aww, screw it. I'm just going back to my inner child.

I laugh at the lack of "A Christmas Story" in just about everyone's posts. ... Unless I missed it.

My favourite is a Nightmare Before Christmas. ... Or Edward Scissorhands.

I enjoyed that movie, actually. In fact, the first time I watched it was around the same time I played my first Zelda game, OoT. 'Tis the reason why I like starting new OoT files around Christmas time. There's nostalgia for both around this time of year. ;)

There are a bunch of great Christmas moves out there that I like. "Miracle on 34th Street" and "It's a Wonderful Life," "A Christmas Story," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (both the animated version and the one with Jim Carrey in it)... I know there are more, but I can't think of them off of the top of my head.

A Christmas Story.
Actually, this was a question that they asked at Caribou Coffee. If you answered it, you'd get a certain percent off of your coffee.
But the last time I answered a question was "What is the name of an angle that is less than 90 degrees?" I said "Acute" and I got a discount on my coffee.

Anyway...

Too bad none of my friends listened to me when we went to Caribou coffee. I would have saved some money, man!

Eh....

Movies have an atmosphere, they should keep that atmospher... Enhance it by means of contrast...
