I never heard of THe Snowman before. I will have to try to find it!

[olga]

Hello !! And Thanks for your warm welcome.:waving:

Snowman, is an animated movie, very popular in Britain !! ..
Its about a little boy who makes a snowman on Christmas Eve.
The film is wordless and lasts only 26 minutes. You will love the music, the pictures..

Just see it... Trust me...:)

[Mistletoe]

I just watched the first 10 minutes of The Snowman. It's charming! The little boy is portrayed so well. :santa:

[onemagicalchristmas]

I want to see that movie but I don't know where to look for it!

[olga]

Did you like the film??

[gummgirl]

Mine are:
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
A Charlie Brown Christmas
The Nutcracker ( I like several versions but am fond of the 1992 version because I saw it when I was eight and have loved it since then)
Meet me in St. Louis (I'm not sure if this counts as a Christmas movie but it airs on Turner Classic Movies in December so...)
Plus I like when old sitcoms air their Christmas episodes.

[MacShirts]

Plus I like when old sitcoms air their Christmas episodes.

Haha I thought I was the only one that likes when they do that. For some reason around July there are alot of these particular episodes, I just watched a Seinfeld episode set around xmas time

[gummgirl]

MacShirts No you're not alone! I think I even have a tape somewhere where I have recorded several Chrstimas episodes- I should look for it.
I think maybe it's aired because of Christmas in July.

[MacShirts]

MacShirts No you're not alone! I think I even have a tape somewhere where I have recorded several Chrstimas episodes- I should look for it.

Thats right! Duh, I should have put two and two together. Thats interesting, I'd like to know what shows are on that tape, maybe a show or two that hasnt been syndicated or played in a while. Let us know if you dig it up :candycane1:

[gummgirl]

Okay I found one tape which has:
2 episodes of Full House
1 episode of Family Matters

Somewhere I have a tape with The Brady Bunch episode and
The Saturday Night Live episode with Candice Bergen (sp?) from the 1970's. And I'm sure I have other SNL Christmas episodes recorded. I went through a phase and that was all I watched!

See my problem is I'll record something and then get tired of it so I'll record over it and then I'll go back to liking the thing I liked before and get mad because I've recorded over it.

[MacShirts]

Lol thats great, those shows were my favorites growing up. I know what you mean, I'm kinda going throught a phase like that now, I just loaded up a few Christmas episodes on my phone, so whenever I get a spare minute at my boring job Ill load it up :p I think my favorite Christmas themed episode is from the show Futurama, its called A Tale of Two Santas...you should check it out if you can :D

[gummgirl]

Ok I'll do that.
This holiday season I plan on watching a lot more Christmas themed episodes.

[MacShirts]

Ok I'll do that.
This holiday season I plan on watching a lot more Christmas themed episodes.

Me too, Im gonna copy you and go old school with the vhs tapes and record a bunch of em

Yep me as well. I can never get enough.

[Holiday Mom]

I have always loved Rudolph. It will always have a special place in my heart - but when I was little I was terrified of the Abominable Snowman - I used to run from the living room and hide in the hall until he was gone.

[ChristmasFanatic]

I'm amazed I wasn't frightened by the Bumble, when I was a kid, but I wasn't. My youngest nephew was staying with us when he was three and I put him into bed with the Rudolph DVD to watch and went in a bit later and he was quietly sobbing, because of the Bumble! I felt so bad to think I scared him with a Christmas special, but he loves it, now. :candycane1:

[olga]

thanks for the links. I love watching christmasy shows!.

Santa Claus the move, that is such a great movie i saw it the night it opened in the theaters back in the 80's... One of my fav parts is when Burgess Meredith who plays the ancient elf talks with Santa

[ChristmasFanatic]

Anyone here ever watched the 1959 Mexican film, Santa Claus? Wild and very different, but has some really cool moments in the film. I think it's horribly dubbed, but it seems the dubbed version is the only version you can get.

[aleks]

not a "classic" christmassy film, but the ref starring kevin spacey is hillarious!

[SnowAngel]

TBS will be showing The Christmas Story for 24 hours beginning Christmas Eve, yay!

[olga]

Kids from around the world, jump sneakily on Santa’s sleigh and follow him home on Christmas eve.
When Santa returns to North Pole and goes straight to bed, children decide to help him and clean all that mess in his home and workshop.. :smiling angel:

When he wakes up, he finds a small gift, under his Christmas tree.. :smitten:

Santa's Surprise, was released on December, 1947 and I love it..

Enjoy it!!

I always watch as many Christmas movies as I can during the holidays, but my absolute fave will always be Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I'll also always love Frosty the Snowman, Scrooge, Merry Christmas Mr. Bean, Christmas Vacation, It's a Wonderful Life, and the Grinch cartoon. And I always watch the Santa Claus parade on TV every year, too. :santa:

[olga]

Jordan, first of all, :welcome: to our Christmas home!!
I really hope you enjoy your stay here and hope to spend many Christmases together.. why not?

Well, I have to admit that Merry Christmas Mr. Bean, always makes me laugh like a child, from the beginning until the ending....
I watch it every year, I think these 4 short Christmas films are a real Christmas treasure..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjB8sNfNxNw

Simply, amazing.

:merrychristmas:

[HollyJolly]

I love the Santa Clause movies with Tim Allen. Those are great. I also love Christmas with the Kranks (Tim Allen, again) and Deck the Halls with Danny Devito. I also have all of the old animated Christmas specials - Santa Claus is Coming to Town, A Year without a Santa Claus, etc. There is nothing better than putting in one of these movies on a cold night during the holiday season with a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk -- one of simple pleasures in life -- LOVE IT! :yahoo:

[Caninemom3]

[SilverBells]

Add "The Polar Express" and "A Christmas Carol" and you have a winner list. :elf3:

[ornamentmaven]

I also love the Polar Express, but don't care for the Christmas Carol - any version!

[MissSantaClaus]

Has anyone seen A Carol Christmas? This is not a good version, in my opinion.

[Emilia]

Old Disney classics, Santa Clause -movies, NL Christmas Vacation, Mickey's Christmas Carol and of course some finnish Christmas series/movies.:rudolph:

[mikaldinho]

probably the Polar Express

Pretty much hit the core right here! I'd add Polar Express & Christmas Vacation as well.

[Christmas_mama]

Every year I love to watch Bernard and the Genie, a Christmas Carol starring Patric Stewart, a Muppet Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th Street and Home Alone. I'll watch any Christmas movie that comes on, though! I do love a good Santa Claus movie :-)

My most-excitedly-anticipated Christmas clip to appear every year has to be the Coca-Cola adverts, though! tehe

[mikaldinho]

I really like this rudolph film as well - http://filmforno.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/rudolph-hermie-blog.jpg

[ornamentmaven]

Yeah Mike - just add Holiday Inn and I'd totally agree with you!

[Elvira1986]

I really like this rudolph film as well - http://filmforno.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/rudolph-hermie-blog.jpg

I totally agree. Brings back memories seeing that picture!

[MinnesotaMike]

In recent years, we've also really enjoyed watching "The Family Stone" at Christmas time as well.

[ornamentmaven]

Oh yes - I love The Family Stone. The cast is great. Diane Keaton is excellent.

I watched it about 2 weeks ago! HA!!

[olga]

Did you like Joulutarina (http://www.joulutarina.fi/)??? I liked it so much!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrt7uSLIiyk

[MinnesotaMike]

Well...Looks like I might dig out a Christmas movie when my boy goes down for nap...since I'm home all day!!

[ornamentmaven]

I did watch The Family Stone yesterday, now I'm thinkin about watching Christmas with the Kranks - for the third time in 2 months!!!

[SilverBells]

I watched Christmas with the Kranks a couple of weeks ago. I think Tim Allen is a Christmas nut in real life. He likes making Christmas movies. :rudolph:

[ornamentmaven]

Tim Allen must be a Christmas fanatic like us! He is so good in his movies!

[MinnesotaMike]

Even though I love numerous Christmas movies, I'd have to say that "It's a Wonderful Life" ranks as my all-time favorite, timeless classic.

EDIT: even though it's not specifically a "Christmas-centric" movie.

[Papa_Christmas]

I'm sure everyone thinks because I'm a train fanatic Polar express would be my favorite.Truth be told I've been a huge Charles Dickens fan for as long as I can remember.I probably have every version of A Christmas Carol that's ever been made.Scrooge with Albert Finney has always been my favorite but the Patrick Stewart version of ACC is on the cusp of taking over first place.

[mikaldinho]

for the polar express fans - http://xmasworld.comuv.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4 ( it is on my forum )

[Elvira1986]

I'll have to register. I'm already here, and Planet Christmas. I'm getting spread pretty thin! :dizzy:

[ornamentmaven]

I prefer those movies that have a story line independent of Christmas, yet set at Christmas time - like "The Family Stone" and "While you were Sleeping"

[SilverBells]

Those two are my favorite Christmas movies. I also like Patrick Stewarts version. That's the one I watch mostly every year. (I also liked him in STAR TREK-Next Generation as Capten Picard)

[olga]

I also likePatrick Stewart as narrator...
I have Christmas Carol in 2 audio cds where Patrick is the narrator, plays all characters and honestly, I have no words, the man is unbelievable...

:merrychristmas:

[Rosebery]

My favourites are:

Miracle on 34th Street
The Snowman ( a beautiful film!!)
Elf
Muppets Christmas Carol
The Polar Express

[ornamentmaven]

I think I will watch "Polar Express" today!

[Ali13]

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is my favourite Christmas film by far, I think it really shows what Christmas is like, dealing with putting up decorations and dealing with family coming over, it is such a good film, so funny too. I would reccomend it to anyone who hasn't seen it! :santa:

I also love this film. However, one thing always seemed odd to me. They seemed to have family staying at their house the entire week before Christmas. In my experience, that seems quite excessive.

[ornamentmaven]

Yes excessive indeed!

[HolidaySingleGirl]

Miracle on 34th Street - I love the classics. I wish TCM was available on regular tv, not cable!

[angelpugs2]

There's a "collector's edition" of "It's A Wonderful Life" out in stores. It has a bell Christmas ornament in it. I really want it, but losing my job prevents me from spending extra money. BUMMER!!!

[celticfemale]

I want to see that movie but I don't know where to look for it!

I found it in a bargain bin at my local grcoery store, but have seen it at the holiday time at some stores like Wal-Mart, but you could checkebay or amazon

[stephmcuk]

i am sure i have said this before but i love elf!!!

Mostly because its a great fun movie me and my kids watch together!!

we must watch it 50 times between nov-dec and it never gets old or loses its funnyness!!

[mikaldinho]

Elf is a great movie. They played it on channel 4 about 2 months ago :)
