The Hallmark Channel, with their 89 days of Christmas movies that do not have a blessed thing to do with Christmas, drives me straight up the wall.

Honestly, “It’s a Wonderful Life” is a film I’ve never been able to finish watching. It’s just awful. I don’t understand why it’s considered a classic. Bad theology and bad politics.

That said the deification of Santa Clause that goes on in a lot more recent films is just as bad

Yeah......about as far out as I get is Mickey Mouse playing Bob Cratchett, or Chip and Dale driving poor Pluto crazy.

I quit watching most Hollyweird fair long ago. I go for reruns....classics from my youth

in and amongst all sorts of Christmas films....
ranging from the comedic to the profane

you’d think some studio somewhere would make
just one Christmas film that’s decent for family viewing!?

if only because there’s a big market for it!?

And the left had faux outrage over Trump’s comments. His words are a mirror of hollywierd.

Remember It’s A Wonderful Life tanked miserably at the box office. It only became a “Christmas classic” because somebody forgot to renew the copyright and it became available to TV for cheap.

Guy shouldn’t make stuff up. That whole paragraph that starts with the kid making a donation didn’t happen in Bad Santa, there is no Mrs Santa, there’s Mrs Santa’s Sister but that’s different entirely. And the rest that paragraph is also not in the movie. The writer has a pretty vivid imagination.

And finally keep in mind, not everybody likes the holidays. They lack family, they lack nice family, or they just hate all the saccharine entertainment that infects this time of year. My Christmas movie list is almost entirely made of up “anti” Christmas movies. From Die Hard, through Gremlins, Trading Spaces, with a stop over at Rare Imports and landing on Christmas with the Dead. And yeah I love Bad Santa (I’ve got a weak spot for any Christmas movie that lacks snow, because I live in the sunbelt they speak to me) and we’re going to see Bad Santa 2 on Thanksgiving Day.

Meanwhile there’s still more sappy happy Christmas movies to go around. Just check the Halmark network they show a ton of them, not all because there’s just not that much time, but many.

Seven minutes from the best Christmas film of all. It’s a British film, made in 1951. Dickens’ “Christmas Carol”.

As an old Regular Army enlistee, I’ve been partial to White Christmas for decades.

I saw a disgusting Christmas movie once. It opened to a single mom coming home, only to find that her daughter, who attended a “progressive school,” had wandered, unsupervised, into an apartment occupied by an unmarried adult male, and even worse, he was smoking a pipe!

“a holiday classic and remains the movie people associate with Christmas more than any other.”

Not me. While I was growing up, one channel always played It's a Wonderful Life as the late movie on New Year's Eve. While the movie is mostly set at Christmas time, I now associate it with and watch it on NYE. My Christmas favorites are A Christmas Carol (with Alistair Sim), Christmas in Connecticut, Holiday Inn, and The Bells of St. Mary's. (I admit I'm fond of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, too. :)

It’s a wonderful life had little to do with Christmas either. I like the movie. But still....not a lot about Christmas.

I thought Elf was a pretty good Christmas movie.

It is not just the movies, it is also television that shows the with-drawl from the common culture. In my childhood, everyone had a Christmas-themed show, from Rod Serling to Milton Berle, Jewish or not. Rod Serling's Twilight Zone broadcast the EXCELLENT "Night of the Meek" in 1960 on CBS Broadcast TV. A failed department store seasonal Santa, played by the great Art Carney, suddenly finds his bag full of real presents.

From Ed Sullivan to Jack Benny, most of the then popular variety shows had a Christmas themed shows. A great favorite of mine was a perennial re-broadcast variety show hosted by the 'deep' singer, Tennessee Ernie Ford, an obviously religious Christian who had several beautiful Christmas shows.

“Donovan’s Reef” is our favorite Christmas movie, although the younger children favor “Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown.”

Floating around the internet is a list of the differences between democrats and republicans. One item on the list is “best Christmas movie.” For democrats, they list “It’s a Wonderful Life” and for republicans, they put “Die Hard.” It cracks me up every time I see it.
