Rummyfan nails it. Much better than the one with Patrick Swayze or whatever his name is. But Rummy, it's called Scrooge.

Bad Santa

From the looks of the answers I think we may be at the upper age of the FR Members.

I noticed in #20 that you asked for three.

1) A Christmas Story
2) A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott
3) Christmas Vacation

I second Bad Santa....one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.....

For the kiddies, A Christmas Story.

I like the Christmas Carol with George C. Scott.

The Alister Sims version is good, but it's wildly unfaithful to the book, and the sets and acting are better in the Scott version.

I also love White Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, and the Grinch cartoon.

Oh, and of course, Merry Christmas Charlie Brown.

1. "It's a Wonderful Life"
2. " The Bishops Wife"
3. "A Christmas Story"

And all the cartoon Christmas specials we grew up with!!

I don't think you mean the 'original'. The first film version I am aware of came out in the 30's, and is really terrible.

You mean the Alister Sims version, right?

"A Pocket Full of Miracles" with Bette Davis, Glen Ford and Peter Falk.

[wallcrawlr]

Die Hard is a good one.

I also find myself watching Scrooged when it's on.

[jocon307]

Mine are all cartoons, although I do like Miracle on 34th Street.

My #1 all time favorite Christmas movie is "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". The original, of course. It is a thing of perfection, and the idea that anyone would even try to remake it is a horror.

#2 Mr. Magoo's version of A Christmas Carol. I really love this and found it quite scary as a child.

#3 Of course, a Charlie Brown christmas.

I also really like my A & E Biography of Santa Claus.

Merry Christmas!

[Sensei Ern]

Me, I'm going with:

3. A Christmas Carol

2. A Christmas Story

1. It's A Wonderful Life (See my post in the Canteen)

I was going to say the same, I prefer the 1951 version of "A Christmas Carroll" with Alistair Simm.

FAVORITE HOLIDAY MOVIE PING!!
