Favorite Christmas movie(s)?

In reply to jharry3 :

Yup. Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas.  One of the more brilliant 70s Jim Henson specials.  Just plain fun.

Apparently the unifying element of all successful Christmas movies is a band of bullies!

Must be a winning recipe

Oh, totally. A few years ago, we saw Emmet Otter in the theater as a one-day-only showing.

It was even better than I remembered. 

We are on page 4 and I have to mention Home Alone 1 & 2? I don't count the  home alones.

Here's one for you: I'm not a fan of Gremlins. Saw it in the theater and then saw it a few years ago. Oddly, it just doesn't connect with me. 

Die hard...

but also from TV , Married with Children and "Santa Dropping in"  and the Simpsons Santa's title helper......

Another vote for The Muppet Christmas Carol here. Can't do Christmas without it.

I know this is an older thread (well, a year old), and for a minute I thought we had missed that one.

Thanks for reaffirming my faith in humanity.

My son owns all the movies but we only watch the first two ones.  We watch them every Christmas - we find new details every year.  

As a teenager I've stepped on nails while working for a builder so when Daniel Stern steps on a nail, 45 years from my last nail I just cringe.........
