fave xmas movies?

idk if this has been posted in the entertainment section, if so then sorry!

what are your top 5 festive movies!

i just watched the xmas shoes today omg i cried so hard :| deffo one of my 'faves' now.

mine are;

1. the grinch
2. jack frost
3. surviving xmas
4. the xmas shoes
5. the snowman

 

The Nightmare Before Christmas and all three of the Santa Clause movies.

 

"It's a Wonderful Life".

Also, "Elf".

I also like "Bad Santa" but it's not really a cheery movie. Best to watch that one when it's not Christmas time.

 

live action movies:

Elf
Xmas Vacation
Love Actually
Christmas Story
cant really think of another

 

It's between Elf and A Christmas Vacation for moi

 

it's a wonderful life . I know it's a really old film but it has everything the ending never fails to make me cry:tears:.

 

For me, it's a toss up between Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story.

 

Die Hard. Definitely Die Hard.

 

It simply isn't Christmas until I've watched Eloise at Christmastime at least a dozen times. Leading up to the big day, I watch it every night for a week. I kid you not.

 

I hate to say this, because it sounds repetitive, but another vote for A Christmas Story. Although what I like is the imaginary life of a boy, and a look back at another era, not the Christmassy quality.

Fun fact: it was directed by Bob Clark who also directed Porky's. Which doesn't appear to have the same feeling of all-family innocent movie. Although it also took place in the past.

I also like The Ref (basic plot idea: cat burglar holds a dysfunctional family hostage at Christmas).

I also like Bad(der) Santa.

Don't ask me why I like the "dysfunctional" theme. Maybe it's because of coming out of a dysfunctional family. Maybe it's because I'm alone this time of year, and these remind me that things could be worse than being alone.

 

The Ref is hilarious! It's one of my favorite Christmas movies.

I think my favorite is Love Actually, though.

 

I also like jack frost & jingle all the way

 

Love Actually
The Family Stone

Those two are the tearjerkers.

The usual suspects include:

The Night They Saved Christmas
White Christmas
Eloise
A Charlie Brown Christmas
all of the Rankin Bass movies
Home Alone 1&2

 

I personally like the Home Alone series and a gay Christmas-themed movie called "Make the Yuletide Gay."

 

For me it's 'Three Nuts for Cinderella':
Three nuts for Cinderella a czechoslovak/ east german film
Have seen it many times as a child.

 

I'm going to have to go with Love Actually, even though I've only seen it once.
Also The Snowman, because it brings back memories of being a kid.

And there was another one I used to love where a girl loses her teddy bear on christmas eve and then it has all these adventures in the snow and then manages to get home again for christmas. Not actually a very good film but it makes me feel all warm and christmasy when i think about it

 

Polar express!!!

 

die hard 2, home alone, and love actually!

 

I really liked a little-known indie film called "Scrooge and Marley." It tells the familiar "A Christmas Carol" story, but in a gay setting: Scrooge is a stingy nightclub owner. Tiny Tim's parents are a gay couple who adopted several kids. A good combination of humor and drama.

 

Old, black and white versions of A Christmas Carol are kinda fun.
