Title: Christmas Movies
Post by: DEECONX on December 11, 2010, 09:37:00 PM
We all know of The Christmas Story and the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, but what are some of your favourite Christmas Movies that many may not know of? A few years ago, I saw this great Christmas move on TV and it has since become a "must watch" during the holidays. It is, Silent Night, and I highly recommend watching it if you havent seen it!

That was the only version I would watch for a long time growing up! Still enjoy it more than the others too!  :aok

Thank You Zoom........ A Christmas Story is my all time favorite.  And it hurt a little to see the op screwed the name up.

That is a really good movie! 

I also love A Christmas Story with a passion.  There's also a good one with Nic Cage and Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz that's called Lost in Paradise that is actually quite good.  Christmas Vacation is always a classic too. Another great one is Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas.  Gotta love the Riverbottom Nightmare Band!

Great movie.  I would love to use one of Billy Bob's lines as my pilot wound sound.  Specifically what he says after the kid sneezes on him.
That's pretty much what I say every time.  :lol   Would anyone happen to know how to do that?

since my kids were born, we have always watched platoon then we go buy x-mas presents for each other and watch full metal jacket (this was added in later years).  we only missed it 5 years when my ex moved and wouldn't tell me where.  then we continued after i tracked them down.  I got 3 kids 18, 21 and 22, we still follow that x-mas tradition.  but it's begining to look like the end of it  :old:.  daughter has a kid and my other boy is looking to get married.  ah gonna miss the good old Xmas movies of nothing but blood, guts and good food   :cry

Correct.  By far my favorite Christmas Album, although perhaps that is another thread.  :aok

BBQ?  Ha!  No way was I able to remember that one, but I do remember trying.


Next to the song Ma sang, Brothers was my most favorite.

Live a lifetime of surprise,
We'll all become magicians and leave the wonder in their eyes...
