Oh me too Kate- Rowan Atkinson made the film by a cameo..... he and the Late,Great Alan Rickmanb(who suffered through most of the soundtrack lol). I did love the use of “Here with Me”/Dido and Andrew Lincoln’s meltdown however
I enjoy the cartoons. Charlie Brown Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas! as for movie movie? It's a Wonderful Life. ps Tricia you are quackers lol
Digital Snail - Great point!!! Eyes Wide Shut really is a hell of a Christmas movie! Seriously!! It's because in the movie there is a loooot of christmas trees and colorful christmas lights, one of the most awesome decors I've ever seen in a film. Really get's You in Christmas mood. Totally kids friendly, I've watched it first time when I was like 8 and look how normal I am, lmao.
My new favorite thing is Merry Freakin Christmas. It’s really brilliantly thought out.
If anyone is into archaeology and history, a few years ago I found this movie on one of the history channels called The Story of the First Noel. It’s narrated by Roger Moore and I only caught the first half but here’s the description from Amazon: An inspiring 90 minute original special chronicling the astonishing events that are said to have occurred during the Holy Family’s perilous journey to Bethlehem. This special also explores evidence of actual miracles that occurred after their pilgrimage. Shot entirely on location in Israel, Egypt and Jordan, historical sites are utilized as the produces of the special, retrace the footsteps of the Holy family and reenact the virgin birth.
It hasn’t been on tv again so I’m waiting for my dvd to arrive.
And Elf, Love Actually, It’s a Wonderful Life, Christmas Vacation, Rudolph, Funny Farm -am ordering that next because it’s not streaming anywhere :(
@SharperTeeth I swore no one but me thought While you were Sleeping was the perfect Christmas movie. I love it and it is always the 1st one I look for when I want to start getting in the spirit, another small but favorite of mine is Bed of Roses. But other than those, Polar Express, Die Hard, Home Alone, and all of the hokey harlequin romance christmas movies on Hallmark, I binge them all month long, and HATE those kind of stories any other time of year.
Most favorite movie: A Christmas Story. Gotta love Peter Billingsley.
Also still love the old stop-motion classics, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, and The Year Without A Santa Claus (Miser Brothers, yay!)
Lately Star Wars since its released in december lol. Other than that Home alone, Grinch and Christmas vacation, it's always on tv, since I can remember 😊
It's a terrible film, but there's a special place in my heart for Love Actually because it was the movie my wife and I watched on our first date back when we were teenagers.
I reall loved Nativity (the first one). I even cried ���� and Im usually not the type for movies like that (Fargo the series- with Freeman,too- is more my perfect winter movie ;)
CeeKay: i cant stand Ferrell, Elf is the only movie of his i habe watched all the way through, and i have seen it a lot. I may be a lil biased, cause i am a big Artie Lange fan and blonde Zooey makes my pecker tingle.
Miracle on 34th Street, watched it w/my mother for years. I love all the old movies that you can usually just find on Turner Classic Movies every year. And, I am a sucker for all the Hallmark movies, because I LOVE my Christmas movies. They are simple feel good movies...
Randal Kleiser's "The Gathering," with Ed Asner and Maureen Stapleton and a cast of familiar faces, is the most wonderful of Christmas movies. Great music, too. Really warm and magical.
Home Alone, Christmas Vacation. Can't pick between the two but watch them every year.
ReplyDelete"Gold, Frankensence, and Myrtle". Best girl-on-girl scene in years.
ReplyDeleteIt's a Wonderful Life although Die Hard seems to have a huge amount of fans for some reason.
