Well, my all time rav fav Christmas Movie is \"A Christmas Story \" - Oh god the Bumpus Hounds and the turkey.
Hell yeah!
I try to watch as much of TNT\'s \"24 hrs of A Christmas Story\" as I possibly can!

I always found \"Nightmare before Christmas\" more Halloweeny than Christmasy, guess its just me. :p

Exactly! The two best holidays rolled up in one!
I never get to see Nightmare Before Christmas around halloween anyway as I\'m too rapped up in classic horror movies!

Personally I hate the holiday.

But I love National Lampoos Christmas Vacation. I laugh at it every year. I also like A Nightmare Before Christmas.

I have a special spot for Pearl Harbour. I watched it my first christmas in Korea.

It\'s was also the first christmas me and my wife spent together.:bouncy:

When I saw this post I was thinking in terms of X-mas movies.
That being said My top two are:
National Lampoons X-mas Vacation if I need to explain this then you just don\'t know.
Another recent Holiday Favorite is \"The Ref\" It is about a burgler who kidnaps a disfuntional family durring the holidays. it is not a family movie, but hey it has Kevin Spacy and Denis Leary in it. One of the best lines out of the movie is \"mother, do you know what I am gonna get you next x-mas, a big wooden cross , so every time you feel unapreciated you can climb up and nail your slef to it!\"

christmas film fest...

The Christmas Story is a classic, although they have played the poor thing to death in recent years.

Nightmare Before Christmas is great!

Last two Christmas\' it has been sort of a family tradition to go and see the new \"Lord of the Rings\" movie the night of Christmas, hopefully this year will be the same.

But how come nobody has mentioned one of the best Christmas movies ever?


DIE HARD!

Who can forget the quote. \"HO HO HO NOW I HAVE A MACHINE GUN\"

Nothing says Yuletide more than a cut up barefooted Bruce Willis. lollollol

Man, I almost spit all over my monitor. Too funny. Actually I have that song on my Christmas mixed CD, but it is a pretty \"eclectic\" mix (also includes The Pogues, Enya and No Doubt) so diversity perhaps trumped quality.

I don\'t think I\'ll watch any movies over Christmas. I spend too much time watching movies as it is (try being 29 in a town inhabited entirely by 18-22 year-old students and 40+ year-old suburbanites) and it\'ll be great to just hang out with my family next week.
 
Christmas movies

\"A Christmas Story\" is a classic. I watch a lot of it during it\'s 24 hour marathon. It\'s really what Christmas is like in America, or used to be.

Robin Hood Man in Tight, Young Frankenstein, Nightmare before Christmas, Edward Scissior Hands, LOTR extended versions, Disney\'s, Ice Age... Another classic is Jesus Christ Superstar, but it\'s more \"Easter-oriented\"...

cheers =)

Best Chrimbo film ever - its got to be \"Its a Wonderful Life\".

Although a marathon sitting of the Fellowship of the ring and the two towers extended editions might be called for - possibly followed by the return of the king at the cinema...

I\'m really hoping that \'Night of the Demon\' is on this Christmas. Great 1950s B&W horror film starring Dana Andrews. If it\'s on, I really must remember to video it. I wouldn\'t mind seeing \'The Haunting\' (original) again either.... Here\'s hoping for something with a spooky flavour!

Oh god! That\'s one of my favorite horror flicks of all time! I may have to go rent it now!:D
 
\"It\'s a Wonderful Life\" and \"Scrooged\" for a Christmas Eve double header while my wife and I wrap my daughter\'s pressies. Christmas Day I\'m normally to busy eating, drinking, unwrapping presents etc. to watch much.

Good grief, as if it isn\'t bad enough that Scotsmen (Connery), Irishmen (Brosnan) and Australians (Lazenby) all get off in playing the English James Bond we now have a damn yank (Sorry damn yanks:D) ripping the p*ss out of him. It\'s hardly cricket, don\'t you know.

Dont forget Irish American James Coburn (Flint) and Italian American Dean Marting (Matt Helm) in probably the best rip offs of Mr. Bond. Although I like The Presidents Analyst (Coburn) better than the Flint movies.


Edit - and what exactly is cricket anyway?

:D
