Best Christmas movie ever

[Squatch]

There was a radio broadcast.... 50? years ago about a "hippie" delivering Santas Anonymous gifts...... cant find it but I'd love to hear it again.

Remember the line.... "Mommy was that Jesus"

Can't say I recall that line. Is it from the radio broadcast you spoke of, or a movie?

I'm thinking radio, long before a movie. Definitely not the movie.

Makes me very proud to be an Edmontonian. I was in Grade 8 when it first aired. It might have been inspirational in my life since.

Found it...... thank you HeadLice !! and Squatch
It was just a radio broadcast before TV was even in every home.

Nothing compares.

Every seems to forget the Gremlins

the problem is someone always reminds us

so many great ones in this thread, espeically the Die Hard ones. This is my favorite cheesy ripoff of It's a Wonderful Life, but that's what makes it good. It's been a tradition since it came out when the kids were little to watch it every Christmas morning, Cage is, Cage, Don Cheadle is awesome & I love me some Tea Leoni

Every year we watch the Jim Carrey version of the Grinch ("hello, Martha"), both George C. Scott's and Alistair Sim's A Christmas Carol, It's A Wonderful Life, Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, and for me Miracle on 34th Street. They're all good

My top favorite has always been Planes, Trains & Automobiles.

This is during winter so it counts ha!

 

[tworley]

We watch Jim Carrey's version of the Grinch. I am not entirely sure why but its always a movie my sisters and I quote throughout the year in certain situations.

It was a bit nipply outside this morning. Time to watch Christmas Vacation.

Christmas Vacation!

Elf has become our recent family favorite

 

[Alex01]

To this day when we visit my parents my mom will make us watch "It's a wonderful life" as she has since I can remember. Our 12 year old has us watch elf yearly.

Between the two I'd rather watch Elf.... maybe I'll add diehard to the list this year.

 

[jeepins]

Die Hard was a movie choice on a recent flight I took. Had everyone around me watching it after I started it up.

 

[Quigley]

Favorite is hard to say, but I listed a couple that I watch each year to complete the season for me.

Grew up watching this one. I leave it on for the 24 hour marathon and throughout the day manage to see it once or twice.

How can you not watch this one... I mean it's probably one of the last funny moments of Chevy's career. Usually start the season off with it. Absolutely reminds me of my family growing up in the 80's and 90's.

Honorable mentions:

I seem to be able to watch this one anytime.

I'll admit, when my dad first got me to watch this one I was in middle school I wanted to hurt myself or others, but now... I love watching the simpler time in life. a must watch for me in black in white.
