Michelle My Bell Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I am trying to get some good movies before our 3 days of family festivities this week. I am stumped as I have seen a lot of movies. Any new favorites out there? Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich with Kids Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 My Favorites: Elf A Christmas Story National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Galaxy Quest, it's under the tree. The Dark Knight, if it is under the tree for me. Mission Impossible the series, if it gets here in time for dh. Christmas with the Kranks looks hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofkhm Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Christmas Carol and Treasure Island. I know we'll be watching Prince Caspian - it's under the tree. We also want to go to blockbuster and rent Eloise at Christmas. It's a Wonderful Life is tradition as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anewday Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Just saw The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey and it was wonderful! Major tearjerker though! I love Christmas Vacation too. My dh loves A Christmas Story (he's getting it this year :)). We also like Family Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in Neverland Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 We watched The Nativity Story last night and LOVED it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I know that we'll be watching Prince Caspian on Christmas day--it's under the tree. We rented Enchanted at Thanksgiving and really enjoyed that (note kid genders and ages). That is now under the tree as well. And we always enjoy Elf--may have to watch that again too.

Jenny in Florida Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 A Christmas Story The Muppet Christmas Carol The Nightmare Before Christmas Miracle on 34th Street (in black and white, thank you) It's a Wonderful Life (maybe) The Nutcracker (probably at least two versions) Elf A Colbert Christmas (okay, not a movie, but still . . .) We have several DVDs under the tree, most of which will probably get watched between Christmas and New Year: Prince Caspian, Monty Python's Life of Brian . . . and more I can't remember off the top of my head.

gratefulmother Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 We also watched Nativity Story last night and were so glad we did. I have to say Christmas with the Krank's was a disappointment. It was pretty silly we thought. The kids have been crazy about The Grinch and Charlie Brown Christmas this year.
