mrsbishwit Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 My all time fav is Miracle on 34th street the old one that features Macy's department store and I think it is Natalie Wood as the little girl. Loved this one since I was a little girl...oh & it has to be in black and white. My next fav is It's a wonderful Life (also black & white) Followed by the A Christmas Carol starring George C. Scott... My DH's fav is the Dr. Suess cartoon the Grinch Who Stole Christmas (every year I buy him something Grinch related). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanramey Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 My favorite is A Christmas Story, made in the 80's, with Darren McGavin as the father. I used to have the video when the kids were little and we'd watch it during the holidays. It'll be running a lot on TV during Christmas Eve.

witha'K'quilting Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 It's a Wonderful Life is my all-time favorite without a doubt. I watched it every year with my Dad...he died 13 years ago. The movie always made me cry. Still my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crawysong Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 We love the Christmas story and its a wonderful life but the family tradition is not a christmas movie at all but every year we sit down with the whole group to watch paint your wagon...

yogiquilter Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 "A Christmas Story" is my definite fave! My second would probably be "Christmas Carol" (George C. Scott version). My third would be "Christmas Vacation" that movie cracks me up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Charlie Brown's Christmas, Miracle on 34th St. and National Lampoon's Christmas vacation are my three favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoriasews Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 We love Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase. What a hoot! I also love The Nativity, such a beautiful film of the birth of Jesus. It really does a wonderful job of showing emotions, delivery, and believable way of life.

Quilting Heidi Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I think it is The Grinch because it is my daughters favorite and even though she is now 24 she still giggles and sings along like she did when she was little. I just love seeing her watch it! My daughter still watches every Christmas show on. LOL it is her favorite thing to do and since she is back home this year I'm seeing a lot more of them! I still the The Santa Clause with Tim Allen, what a hoot. I love Rudolf too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennan100 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 My favorite is White Christmas, then Miracle on 34th, then It's a Wonderful Life, then the Santa Clause movies. Oh, and the first Home Alone. I always cry when I watch White Christmas, no matter where in the country we live we all watch it, we call it one of our Daddy movies, it was his favorite.

Sheri Butler Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Without a doubt, it's National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It's our tradition to turn it on after we've opened gifts on x-mas eve every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuiltsbyNini1 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 #1 all time favorite is White Christmas, followed closely by Holiday Inn. I have not had a Christmas since 1964 without Rudolf... when we moved to Germany, I had a taped version of it we popped in Christmas Eve to watch! I also fell in love with The Night they saved Christmas while we were in Germany. It was one of the few Christmas movies that year on AFN. I am a Christmas movie freak! We have a Christmas Movie Night almost every night between Thanksgiving and Christmas at my house! Nini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 The Bishop's Wife- the old version with Cary Grant and David Nivens. A wonderful B&W Miracle on 34th street-again the old version.

Sunimp Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I'm a sucker for those old Bing Crosby & Ingrid Bergman movies - Going My Way and the Bells of St. Mary's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 It is a must...we watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation every year on Thanksgiving night...just to get us in the mood. The part where Chevy Chase steps on the board in the attic brings back memories :o My favorite is "It's a Wonderfule Life" but give me Jimmy Stewart any day. Oh, I love Cary Grant too, so if I can find a movie about Christmas with him in it I'm there. I love to watch "White Christmas" because I would like to dance with Danny Kaye, although my first dance partner would be Gene Kelly I love "Miracle on 34th Street" - both versions. We watch that one every year too. "A Christmas Story" is good and has some great parts....I just get lost when he dreams about those guys coming over the fence in the prision outfits.
