Michelle My Bell Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I don't know what it is about this time of year, but I get a hankering to watch Christmas Movies. I love the old favorites, mixed up with a few cheesy feel goods and everything in between. What are some of your favorites? I watched White Christmas already, still need to watch It's a Wonderful Life. I just saw Christmas Shoes and the Christmas Blessing the other day. Another fun one was The Christmas Lodge. After looking over my Netflix activity, here are some more I've seen: Dear Santa Lovestruck: The Musical Jack Frost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Last year we discovered Christmas Story and loved it. It'll be a new standard for us. It's dubbed, but not in a cheesy fashion. They do alright with it. The story is good.

(If you like classic films.) I also love "The Bishop's WIfe'…both the Cary Grant version and the one with Whitney Houston. "The Shop Around the Corner" "Miracle on 34th " "Elf" The Tim Allen "Santa Clause" movie "Love Actually" and "Bridget Jones" because of the Christmas sweaters…although I haven't watched them in awhile, so not sure if they will hold up.

Love Actually is my favorite! Not kid friendly, though, in case that's a consideration. I also love Elf, Die Hard, and the Tim Allen Santa Clause movies. ETA: Oh, and The Ref! That was always my favorite before Love Actually. Also not kid friendly, but hilarious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 For some reason when I tried to post on this topic, it came up with a message "You are not allowed to post on this topic." Why? But it DOES let me post if I quote someone! I've never had that happen before. Anyway, a list of our favorites: White Christmas It's a Wonderful Life A Christmas Carol (with George C Scott) A Muppet Christmas Carol Little Women (it's not all about Christmas, but it does have some neat Christmas scenes in it, plus I have 4 daughters, so we've always watched it :) These are some we'll watch every five years maybe: Miracle on 34th St. Christmas in Connecticut A Holiday Affair It Happened on Fifth Avenue The Bells of St. Mary's The Shop Around the Corner I don't know what it is about this time of year, but I get a hankering to watch Christmas Movies.

How could I forget Elf and Miracle on 34th Street??? ::face palm:: Oh, and someone else mentioned Home Alone. I have both HA 1 and HA 2 (HA 3 wasn't very good). The truth is that I didn't want to get up off my chair and walk down the hall to check my movies, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If you like classic films.) you want the version with Barbara Stanwyck. there's a remake with Diane Cannon. (which has it's moments, but the other is better.)

Michelle My Bell Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 My daughter said we shouldn't forget Meet Me in St. Louis. Also, I am in college and one of my classes we have to have a blog. Well, I am a few posts shy to finish it up so I decided to turn my question into a blog post. You can view it here: http://saywhatchasee.blogspot.com I added even more movies than were mentioned here, thanks to IMBD. Tomorrow I am going to make an Unlikely Christmas Movie list so feel free to keep adding those here. Thanks so much everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Love Actually is my favorite! Not kid friendly, though, in case that's a consideration. I also love Elf, Die Hard, and the Tim Allen Santa Clause movies. ETA: Oh, and The Ref! That was always my favorite before Love Actually. Also not kid friendly, but hilarious! The Ref!!! I totally forgot about that movie! It was hilarious…but definitely not kid friendly. Not letting me multiquote, but I had no idea about the Dyan Cannon remake of "Christmas in Connecticut"…definitely get the original. Lead character is a Martha Stewart-like character, but a total sham. It's great. It has the wonderful S.Z. Sakall in it too. It will make you hungry, though. My kids all love the "Home Alone" movies.

Lady Florida. Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I don't like sappy movies but I love White Christmas.
