Favorite holiday movie???

[mrsmike9]

My favorite is one probably nobody here has heard of. It's called A Child's Christmas in Wales. It's based on the Dylan Thomas poem.

What's yours?

[ssdw1958]

It’s a new one I think it’s call Santa Clause it’s on Netflix you need to see it it’s about these two children who wait up for Santa 🎅 and get into his sleigh 🛷 It’s a good one HOHOHO

[Texandyroe in reply to ssdw1958]

That's my new favorite one, to! It's called The Christmas Chronicles. .

[greaterexp]

A Christmas Carol (the one with Alistair Sim), It's a Wonderful Life, and Remember the Night are my favorites.

[mrsmike9 in reply to greaterexp]

I'm not familiar with Remember the Night. I'll have to look into that one!

[greaterexp in reply to mrsmike9]

It's so sweet. Fred MacMurray is wonderful in it. I love the old classics. I'm so weary of somebody "saving" Christmas.

[mrsmike9 in reply to greaterexp]

Love the classics! I'm addicted to Fred Astaire!

I absolutely love 'The Polar Express'. Also, I am a softie when it comes the the Hallmark Channel and all their Christmas movies.

[falalalala]

A Christmas Story is one of my favorites.

[mrsmike9 in reply to falalalala]

I could never let my sons watch that when they were young. I was so afraid they would eat like a piggy! That's a good one!

[falalalala in reply to mrsmike9]

Lol! Or get their tongue stuck to a fence as my brother did!

[mrsmike9 in reply to falalalala]

He really did? How funny! I always thought that was so funny that they didn't just pour warm water over it to release his tongue but I guess that wouldn't be as funny!

[falalalala in reply to mrsmike9]

When my brother did it,he was in the middle of a snowball fight ! He told me that he tried to tell his friend to stop bombing him with snowballs but.........couldn't! Lmao!

[mrsmike9 in reply to falalalala]

I would guess you've never let him forget it. At least we wouldn't have in my house!

[falalalala in reply to mrsmike9]

Rest assured that I bring it up every year.

[mrsmike9 in reply to falalalala]

Yeah!!!!

[greaterexp in reply to falalalala]

You could put your eye out.

[mrsmike9 in reply to greaterexp]

Hahahaha!!

My favourites are Home Alone and White Christmas, also I like Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase. I just love a good comedy. Has anyone seen Diary of a Wimpy Kid? Where they go on vacation, it’s such good predictable comedy, such a good laugh 😂

[falalalala in reply to jimeka]

I forgot about Christmas Vacation! That one cracks me up every time!

I haven't seen Diary of a Wimpy Kid yet.

[jimeka in reply to falalalala]

It just made me laugh nearly all the way through. 🎄

[falalalala in reply to jimeka]

I will have to check to see if I can get this one.

[Bygonelines]

My favorites are The Fourth Wiseman, Miracle on 34th St (the one with Natalie Wood), Nestor the Long-Eared Donkey (I just love when mama says "Ears Nestor"), Santa Claus is Coming to Town, The Little Drummer Boy.

[GildaS]

An Affair to Remember, with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. I always cry at the end.

[Rndcowart in reply to GildaS]

I love this one too

[agate]

@mrsmike9buffering, I don't have a favorite Christmas movie. I tend to avoid Christmas movies but I like the old "Seinfeld" episode about Festivus, "the holiday for the rest of us."--I didn't know that "A Child's Christmas in Wales" had been made into a movie. I have a recording of Dylan Thomas reading that poem, and I used to play it often. "Cats in their furabouts!"

[erash]

It’s a wonderful life with jimmy stewart—love the message it sends

[goatgal]

mrsmike9buffering Thank you for reminding me. I used to have a tape of Dylan Thomas reading the poem, his deep rich voice telling the story. Now that I no longer have a tape player or any tapes, I should see if there's a CD of his reading. I didn't know a film had been made. It must be magical.

[mrsmike9 in reply to goatgal]

It is marvelous as a movie! See if you can find it! The narrator is awesome and the action is lovely.

[dearydear57]

My all time favorite would be A Muppet Christmas Carol with Michael Caine and the entire Henson menagerie. I also like the Patrick Stewart version of A Christmas Carol. And, of course, there is always the ever popular, and the Grinch Who Stole Christmas (The original cartoon version)

[6092177588 in reply to dearydear57]

Love it also

[6092177588]

It is a wonderful life. James Stuart I think.
