I am partial to all the Santa Clause movies, but my all time favorite, ever since I was a wee one, has always been The Little Drummer Boy.  I still tear up when the little lamb gets run over by the cart!!

Helen, those are the kinds of stories that let us know there truly is magic in the world, and it comes alive for every boy and girl (no matter their age) at Christmas time Smiley

I've had a number of very special events occur at Christmas that are the reason, even at the age of 41, I agree with my Dad (who maintained his stand on the issue until he died at 58...)....

Yes Virginia, there REALLY IS a Santa Claus!

Well, since you can't spell favorite correctly, I will nominate a show that isn't really a film.

I can't go through December without seeing 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'. Love the forty-five year old animation, love the story, love the dancing. Smiley

Well even though I don't think it was his best movie, I like to watch Jingle all the Way - with my Uncle Phil.

Totally agree with Barry. Its not christmas until you've watched Lampoon's x-mas vacation and Bad Santa. Don't know about everyone's sense of humor, but Friday after next is pretty damn funny also. Not usually my taste but I love it for some reason.

The 1951 version of Dickens "A Christmas Carol" With Alistar Sim.


For me, nothing comes close. After that, I like "A Christmas Story," ---I'm the dad of course...and "A Charlie Brown Christmas." "Miracle on 34th St." ain't bad at all...

Christmas brings out so much good stuff.

If we were in Canada or the UK... WE'D be spelling it wrong.  Eh?

"It's a wonderful life"  number one all time and all throughout the year too.  At the end I always get depressed though,  thinking..."How did my life, change anyone for the better ?"

2nd. would be ther same as Charlies.  1951 black and white version of a Christmas Carol.   True Dickens!!!

"the Bishops wife"  I cannot believe that Pat and I are the only ones who loved that movie with Cary Grant.  Purely magical...

Great story Helen!!!

"It's a Wonderful Life" is our favorite.  Me and the Missus have it on DVD and always watch it with nothing but the tree lighting the room.

That'll work....I'm also partial to the George C Scott version...


"the Bishops wife"  I cannot believe that Pat and I are the only ones who loved that movie with Cary Grant.  Purely magical...

Cary Grant...in ANYTHING...yup...


For me:   "It's a Wonderful Life", Original "Miracle On 34th Street" and "Pocketful of Miracles" (Christmastime?...can't remember).

Best,

Jon

As a fund-raiser this Christmas were showing "It's a Wonderful Life" in our local theatre. 250 tickets already sold out, so it's a big favourite with most people.

For me it's superman 1 & 2, I dunno why....every year it's on and every year I watch it.

Rudolf and the island of misfit toys.
Reminds me of being a kid, always been my favorite with Burl Ives doing the narration.

"The Wizard of Oz"

it still makes me get so excited when it goes from black and white to colour and it's a necessary part of Christmas for me.. just a tradition I guess.


My mother had told me of going to the theater to see the movie as a kid.  When Dorothy opened her door to the color world of Oz, she remembered the entire place was one gasp.  For most all children, it was the first color ever seen.  She was eight.

Like that film and as Lefty mentioned, for some reason I like watching "The Adventures of Robin Hood" with Errol Flynn.  Seems to be on at Christmas each year.

It's a Major Award!

With as much dignity as he could muster, the Old Man gathered up the sad remains of his shattered major award. Later that night, alone in the backyard, he buried it next to the garage. Now I could never be sure, but I thought that I heard the sound of "Taps" being played, gently.
