I'm surprised nobody mentioned March of the Wooden Soldiers. I always enjoyed that one when I was a kid. Now that I am bit older I have to agree that Bad Santa is my new favorite. Who doesn't need a wooden pickle????

A Christmas Story.

You'll shoot your eye out. You'll shoot your eye out.

It... It was.... SOAP... POISON...

Hopefully at least one person here will be familiar with that movie. I loved it so much as a kid, I watched it year around.

P.S. Welcome back and I am glad you're brother will be able to be home for Christmas! That has to be the best gift of all. My brother is in Iraq right now and will also be home for Christmas. Can't wait to see him.

Love this one as well AshleyD, Though I have to confess I'm a sucker for all Christmas stories..............Yes I love them all..........By the way I love your now Avatar and Sig.........Got that Christmas spirit...

Ok, I love "Bad Santa" with Billy Bob. Crude, funny, yet has truths. At the end(and you can see it coming ), Billy Bob redeems the movie . The boy ( no idea who he is) carries the Christmas spirit despite Billy Bob's hilarious Santa guise.

I like this time of year because I like cold weather; I'm the cold miser:





My favorite all time is A Christmas Carol (1984)

George C. Scott was born to play that role. Just shows the similarity between the Patton archetype and the Scrooge personality taint.

all the best.

A Christmas Story

Our hillbilly neighbors owned about seventy five smelly hound dogs.

Based on a book of short stories by Jean Shepard (about 5 bucks on Amzn and a cool gift for those hard to buy for Christmas Story fans)

Also

Scrooged.

I never cared enough about a girl to buy her twenty sharp knives before.

A bit off topic, but the music from the old Charlie Brown shows is incredible. (I.E. "Christmas Time Is Here"). Look up Vince Guaraldi on You Tube to hear this and more. If you like jazz, the man was a genious.

Not really "Christmas"..., but almost. New Year's Eve! I connect it with Christmas. The same procedure every year.

Freddie Frinton - Dinner for One

'DINNER FOR ONE' starring British comedian Freddie Frinton is a cult classic in Germany and across various European countries -- shown every New Year's Eve. Yet still remains relatively unknown to British audiences. A lonely upper-class Englishwoman, Miss Sophie (May Warden), hosts a dinner every New Year's Eve for her long-dead admirers: Mr Pommeroy, Mr Winterbottom, Sir Toby and Admiral von Schneider.
Her butler, James (Freddie Frinton), makes his way around the table playing each of the guests in turn. As he does so, he drinks each guest's share of the wine, becoming more inebriated and familiar and repeatedly trips over a tiger skin on the floor.
The vital exchange is: "The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?"
"The same procedure as every year, James!"

Wow!... Good thread!

I have so many favorites - but I think I can say (in no particular order):

.: A Christmas Carol (Alistair Sim - 1951 version)

.: It's a Wonderful Life (The original, un-colorized version)

.: A Christmas Story ("You'll shoot your eye out kid!... Ho - Ho - Hooooo!" )

.: The Rankin-Bass Specials (Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, Year Without a Santa Claus, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, etc)

.: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
