Chiky's post about watching Christmas movies got me to wondering about favorites. I would love to know.....I think we did this once before, but it's almost Christmas again! Unbelievable!

Here's one of mine


Eloise at Christmastime

Oh Patti, what a great thread! And I love anything Eloise!

My very most favorite is Holiday Inn

Eloise is delightful, isn't she? I like Eloise at the Plaza best....

yes, I agree....quite a precocious lil girlie :kekeke:

I saw a girl named Eloise slap a boy on the school bus one day. :whistling:



My favorite has to be White Christmas.

I have lots of favorites, but I'll go with.........

Borrowed Hearts - with Eric McCormack & Roma Downey. What a lovely story. :wub:

The Bishop's Wife....and the new version, The Preacher's Wife....

The Santa Clause...

An Affair To Remember...cuz it ends on Christmas...

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation...

Jack Frost (with Michael Keaton)

I hesitate to admit this, but I am not a huge fan of "It's a Wonderful Life"...Jimmy Stewart is just a little annoying to me, lol...

I have several..but one I never forget to watch that makes me laugh is
Ralphie in...A Christmas Story. :wub:

Awwwww.......Lorraine

"It's A Wonderful Life" is great.........just not as good as "White Christmas"

I like Christmas in Connecticut also, the original version

I'm glad you mentioned that one Kattie. I've never seen it and I want to be sure and try to find it this year.

I don't know if this is considered a Christmas movie or not, but it could be....it takes place at Christmas time..

The Shop Around The Corner with James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan....and that famous quote,

"Psychologically I'm very confused, but personally I don't feel bad at all".

I loved that movie.

oh yes, I like that one too Patti. Budapest was a odd setting for that movie, wasn't it? Did you know that the movie, "You've Got Mail" was made after that movie?

Oh yes Kattie....I love that one too...I always get a kick out of thinking about what a difference there is in the communication process....

I've also wondered why it was in Budapest. It is a lovely old movie though.

We watched that again last night. Did you know that the main "boss" guy in there...Mr. Motuschek (not how you spell his name) is the Wizard in the original Wizard of Oz?

That's cool Chiky...now that I didn't know.....lol

I agree with you Lisa, that has to be the best Christmas movie- watch it all 24 hours on TNT.


I also love the one with Dudley Moore- Santa Claus the Movie-

Oh I just love Christmas Movies, Scrooge, Its a wonderful Life, Prancer, Miracle on 34th street the original.

We watched ralphie again last night...that bunny suit gets me every time!

Is there two versions? We picked it up last year and had never heard of it before. It's got a rather lame ending (the very end, where the guy is just laughing like he is drunk,lol), but it's a cute story. The one we have, has Barbara Stanwyck.

Yes, I have seen two versions. The original of course w/ Stanwyck and maybe the newer version was just for cable, I don't remember but it was terrible.

I Like Holiday Inn, A Christmas Story and It's A Wonderful Life but I like watching some the Christmas cartoons best like...A Charlie Brown Christmas, How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

That is a sweet one Shari!

I also enjoy Jim Carrey's Grinch, it's cool...but a lot of the Christmas cartoons are fun too. There is one about a donkey that is just sad tho...Nestor I think it is...I refuse to watch that one...

What's the name of the one made for tv starring David James Elliott? It has something to do with a toy train and a little boy...I like that one.

I don't know if I've seen that one Ms Patti...

I especially like Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer!....Kind of partial to Burl Ives... He grew up around here and my Grandma knew him when she was a child.

Christmas Story hands down!!...lol...I have it on DVD.....lol....

I googled it Lor....it's Holiday Affair. I didn't realize it was a remake of an old Robert Mitchum movie. It's a good movie...you'd like it. The little boy's mother meets Elliott in the store where she works, but she's already engaged to a another guy....

Awww yes Ms Patti I like those sappy romantic ones at Christmas. Actually, don't tell anyone, but I like them all year round, lololol... :crawl:

my all time fave is not really a movie but Charlie Browns Christmas....it closes with learning the real meaning of Christmas and shares it in such a lovely little way. I adore it. :wub:

I just saw that for the first time last year. Loved it!

I love Charlie Brown Christmas too...... the song that they sing at the beginning..... "Christmas Time is Here" - love it!

I love the TV Christmas movies.......
The Christmas Shoes - with Rob Lowe
The Christmas Box - with Johnboy (no, not OUR Johnboy)
Ebbie - Susan Lucci (a take-off from Scrooge)

Love Actually....ok, not for you who only watch G rated movies, but I like it, lol...
