Since there clearly haven't been enough vanities around here today, I figured I weigh in with one:
What are your three favorite Christmas Movies of all time?
Me, I'm going with:
3. A Christmas Carol (staring Patrick Stewart, 1999)
2. A Very Brady Christmas (yes I'm serious)
1. It's A Wonderful Life (one of the finest films of all time)
Alright FReepers, time to opine...

"You know, I'm going to start thanking
the woman who cleans the restroom in
the building I work in. I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being"
Some really great movies with Christmas endings that may slip beneath the radar...
Since You've Been Away - terrific story of life on the homefront during WWII
Meet Me In St. Louis - Judy Garland's 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' is very touching
not this one.
Sorry about that double post...havent done that in a while...must be, that the spiked eggnog is getting to me...
I am however,
the only human living who has never watched "Its a Wonderful Life" all the way through. I don't like it.
That's ok, I've seen it 200 times, you're off the hook.
Everything evens out in the end.
Bill Murray is a genius. " Milkman, that's so you! "
The Muppet Christmas Carol is a great version! I've been watching it over and over with my kids this year. It's really funny but actually a good version too.
I also like the George C. Scott version.
Gag me.
I want funny Christmas movies.
1) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
2) A Christmas Story.
3) The Santa Claus.
You nailed it!! My picks also.
Exactly.
I like Die Hard. >:-}
You must have had HBO back in the 80's. I loved those two shows.
lol..the Ernest one is hilarious. RIP Jim Varney.
Correction - that should be 'Since You Went Away'...
Die Hard is good.
Bernard and the Genie
Well I love "it's a wonderful life"-- that movie gets me every time. I also like The Bishops Wife with Cary Grant as an angel, but seeing I am a huge Cary Grant fan, I might be a bit partial. ;-) I also like Scrooged with Bill Murray and my favorite Christmas Carol is the one with George C Scott.
2) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (both the old Fleischer version and the Rankin Bass one (I miss those Norelco commercials)
3) Last, but not least, is Laurel & Hardy's "Babes in Toyland" (aka March of the Wooden Soldiers).
I prefer A CHRISTMAS CAROL with Alastair Sim......
I completely agree with you on this version of "A Christmas Carol"
I still chuckle when Sargent Powell sings "oh the weather outside is frightful, du-dum, du-dum delightful" and when he tells Duane "Why don't you smell what you shovelin'?"
