Christmas Movie you don't care to watch

[Mistletoe]

I have to agree... Nothing will quite compare to the older movies. I have enjoyed some newer Christmas movies, but not on the same level as the older classics. Maybe that's just because of the connotation between watching them and my childhood Christmas feelings though, by which I mean to say that perhaps I created associations with those older films to Christmas when I watched them as a child, so that when I watch them now those same old feelings are conjured back up?

I agree- my favorites are the classics. I was wondering the same thing about childhood associations.

I don't like the Hallmark type movies (I don't like dramas in general, so that might explain it) and Nightmare Before Christmas is a Hallowe'en movie to me. I pretty much stay away from modern Christmas movies, if I'm really looking to get in the mood (though The Polar Express wasn't bad).

The Hallmark movies are usually pretty terrible. However, my wife and I discovered that we still like to watch even the cheesiest ones because they still fill heart with holiday joy. Plus, it's kind of fun to change up the pace from the usual "staples" that we always like to watch.

Yes Olga - Home Alone was great, and Home alone 2 was enjoyable - but all down hill after that!

I'm not a fan of Bad Santa either. I like my Christmas movies to be kind of Sappy. I have never seen The Jim Carey Grinch movie,Fred Clause or any of the Santa Clause movies because they just don't appeal to me.

Well, I have to say that I do not care to watch.. Home Alone 3 and 4........ Really really annoying.... yuck...

AGREED

But 1 & 2 are FANTASTIC!!!

Nightmare before christmas is one I don't like. I basically just like the old fashioned movies. I really dont like all of the new stuff...

I feel the same way! LOVE the classics.

I don't really like Elf either. I know this is really weird but I have gotten burnt out on a Christmas Story! I used to watch it all the time but now it is played so much on every channel during December it's too much! Still love it, just can't watch it for a while!

OMG I thought this last year and actually felt a little guilty that I didn't want to watch it again because I used to look forward to it every Thanksgiving.

AGREED

But 1 & 2 are FANTASTIC!!!

[Home alone 2]

Home Alone 4 was horrible, should have never been made.

Does 3 or 4 even take place at Christmas - that's, like, the #1 best thing about those films.
Except, of course, KEVIN MCALLISTER - having anyone but him is silly.

Ohhhh... Home Alone 1 & 2 MAY BE my FAVOURITE Xmas movies..... I can't wait to watch them in a few months!!!

I really enjoy 1, but 2 leaves me kind of saying "meh". I'd bet you probably like it because it takes place in New York City at Christmas!

Mike, I think it's the REASON I Love NYC at Christmas so much.
