It's A Wonderful Life. Yay, I said it first!
My mom tries EVERY year to convince me to watch this, because I've never seen it!
I have never seen it either.My mom tries EVERY year to convince me to watch this, because I've never seen it!
I think I have a bias to A Christmas Story, much of it because that was my life. Not the hideous floor lamp, but the skewed perceptions of what was cool, the electric extensions and plug-ins under the lamp, right to the blown fuse and not having a replacement with the right amperage.
Home Alone 1 and 2
It's a Wonderful Life
A Miracle on 34th Street (the original, with Natalie Wood)
A Christmas Story
Polar Express
And a good movie for any of the holidays: Rise of the Guardians.
I hesitate to put George C. Scott's "Christmas Carol" on my list, mainly because the movie freaks me out so bad. I love it for the originality and the classic quality that it has, it's a great movie, but it SCARES me!

I have to add Patrick Stewart's A Christmas Carol but just because I'm such a fan of the guy.

It's a must! Do it!
...that is precisely where I was going as well....his one man show is magic...
I missed this show a few years back when it came thru here. I heard Patrick Stewart does a wonderful performance. I'd definitely like to see it. He is a great actor, always liked him, ever since Excalibur eons ago.
I saw a version of "A Christmas Carol" several years ago that starred Henry Winkler as Scrooge. It was actually a very good version of the movie and Henry Winkler did a good job. I haven't seen it since, but I think it was just called "Scrooge" if I remember correctly.
My favorite of the many adaptations of this. Definitely the darkest of the bunch.I hesitate to put George C. Scott's "Christmas Carol" on my list, mainly because the movie freaks me out so bad. I love it for the originality and the classic quality that it has, it's a great movie, but it SCARES me!
I heard about that. Will check it out if I can.
