The best Xmas movie you've probably never seen

Speedbird-1 · 8 December 2023, 03:45 AM

My children absolutely adored the magical, animated 1982 TV movie, 'The Snowman' based on Raymond Briggs' illustrated book.

These are the two I came to add.

Charlie Brown and The Grinch (the cartoon, not Jim Carey's) are always great.

For some reason I’m one of those weirdos that really like James Bond around Christmas time. Some network in the late 90s or early 2000s used to do this and it sort of stuck with me. I drive my poor wife crazy, there’s so many old Bond films I can watch over and over.

Winter camouflaged, Junkers Ju 52/3mg4e, a fabulous Ron Goodwin soundtrack in a superb opening sequence. Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood and plenty of snow, always a winner on Boxing Day.

This is great, I’m going to drop all of this at an annual screening.

I've loved Donna Reed, all my life.

I would have, but there are so many others I typically watch from that same era. Bells of St Marys hasn't been mentioned yet.

Haha!

Lt. Morris Schaffer- "Second rate punk," eh?
Major John Smith- Sorry. All I could think of on the spur of the moment.
Lt. Morris Schaffer- Thanks; that makes it even worse.

The night before and the office Christmas party are really funny. The family man is good, kinda sad though.

Beary Little Xmas · 12 December 2023, 11:06 PM

My Xmas movie marathon consists of:

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
Home Alone (1990)
Miracle on 34th Street (1994)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
Love Actually (2003)
The Holiday (2006)

There's also various adaptations of A Christmas Carol and other adaptations of it such as A Christmas Carol (1984), Scrooged (1988), The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992), and Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009).

piratepress · 15 December 2023, 07:58 AM

My favorite....

gregbowers · 18 December 2023, 07:40 PM

nice watch

Speedbird-1 · 18 December 2023, 10:57 PM

A perfect Christmas story.
No CGI, no car chase, no, 'crash bag wallop', just a plausible, entertaining, multi-faceted, well acted and directed, tale of a family Yuletide gathering.

brandrea · 18 December 2023, 11:03 PM

Even though it’s not a Christmas movie, our family watches Planes, Trains and Automobiles on Christmas Eve/day.

IMO, no, not at all. If egg yolks & heavy cream are to be drank, then yes, you may like it.

Great description. Makes it even less appetizing to me

On Christmas Eve don’t forget to leave Hostess Twinkies, cigarettes, lighter & flip flops for John McClane.

If you liked that one also consider this:

Speedbird-1 · 20 December 2023, 12:32 AM

The Family Stone.

offrdmania · 20 December 2023, 12:51 AM

I cant believe that A Christmas Story didnt show up until page 2 in this thread. TNT crammed it down our throats for decades on back to back marathons the entire month of December. I think I can quote just about every line in it and when I was about 10, I finally got a Daisy BB gun after seeing Ralphie get his Official Red Ryder, Carbine action, 200-shot range model air rifle with a compas in the stock.
