White Christmas - “lets just say we’re doing it for
an old pal in the Army”
We buy one more Christmas movie to add to our collection each year. That way we get to see the ones that may be pollitically incorrect and no longer shown one day, like A Charlie Brown Christmas or Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (both have been attacked by liberals).
But we always seem to start off the season with White Christmas.

Scrooge (1951) starring Alastair Sim. A story of extreme redemption of the seemingly unredeemable.

Yup. Those two are the best.

On a nicer note, The Waltons/The Homecoming was on tv last week.
Remember watching it a a little kid at my grandparents house.

Die Hard. Because having the most awesome action movie ever also be a Christmas movie is a fine reward for not liking soppy Christmas movies.

I don’t have one favorite. I must watch Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, and Elf.

White Christmas. “We’ll follow the Old Man . . .”

Don't know if it's my favorite but "The Nativity" made a few years ago is well worth seeing.
The scene when the 3 wise men visit is wonderful.

It's A Wonderful Life (EVERY life has value and benefit for the world) and A Christmas Carol/Scrooged (EVERY life can be redeemed and renewed in an instant) is an incredibly powerful combination.

A Christmas Story
"It’s a clinker! That blasted stupid furnace dadgummit!"
Had a coal furnace when I was a kid,had to shovel coal into it at 2 in the morning when my turn came,coal shovel was bigger than me;)
That scene always reminds me of my Dad.

A well-made short subject film is the Truman Capote narrated A CHRISTMAS MEMORY with Geraldine Page.

Absolutely! 1951 version of SCROOGE with Alastair Sim! I have the DVD with both the black & white and the colourized (for our Brit friends) versions. Great lines in that movie that I use all year long.

It's really more of an Easter movie, but I agree it's great.

I watch it 1-3 times at Christmas time. Sometimes I'll watch it off Christmas season, just to get me into that Christmas feeling.
For all the literal dozens of times I've seen it, I still laugh at all the funny parts.
