Holiday Movies

[allyndra]

You may have noticed (if you've gone anywhere near a retail location lately) that it's the holiday season. We're halfway through Hanukkah, and Christmas is right around the corner. So I was thinking about holiday movies. Now, I love traditional ones like "Miracle on 34th Street," but one of my favorite Christmas movies ever is "Die Hard." And my husband has long considered "Gremlins" a holiday classic. What are your favorite holiday movies, traditional or otherwise? I would love to build a viewing list for the month.

Oh, look at you being all creative! It's ubertraditional, but The Christmas Story and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (animated version) are my top two. Seriously, it doesn't feel like it's really Christmas until I've watched them.

Ooooh, I love A Christmas Story! I didn't see it until I was nineteen. My husband (then my boyfriend) was aghast and forced me to watch it. Now we watch it on Christmas day, when TBS runs the 24-hour marathon of it. The Grinch is my favorite of the animated Christmas movies (I'm including all the Rankin & Bass stop-motion movies in this category). There's just something so entertaining about the Grinch's evil smile. :o)

This movie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Christmas_Story). It's great. Source of the ubiquitous quote, "You'll shoot your eye out."
