What are some good Christmas Movies?

cowen1220

We have alot but im sure theres more out there that we dont know about.  I have the basics but there has to be some Lifetime movies or something....

Besides the obvious of A Christmas Story, Elf, Christmas Vacation, etc, I found Scrooged with Bill Murray a classic humorous treat.

We watch White Christmas.  An oldie but a goodie.

One of my favorites, which ABC Family and Lifetime play every year  is A Family for Christmas.

Perfect.  Movies I haven't heard of.  Thanks so much.  Now I just need to hunt them down! I love the holidays!!!!!

"Scrooge" (1970) with Albert Finney is one I watched with my mom Thanksgiving night each year growing up.  It's a classic for me.  It's kind of a musical, but not totally.

The original Miracle on 34th Street is my favorite... but I'm jewish so I don't know if my vote counts!

ABC Family does the "25 Days of Christmas," and they play different movies (some old, some new, some made-for-TV movies) every day starting December 1. Hallmark ALWAYS has great holiday movies, also. Just check the TV schedule. You can't go wrong with Hallmark & Lifetime.

I like The Christmas Shoes movie (made in 2002). Polar Express is now a family tradition on DH's side.

Don't forget all the GREAT clay-mations with Burl Ives as the snowman! I bought them all on DVD a year or two ago because I love them so much.

I second the White Christmas, original Miracle of 34th Street, and Its a Wonderful Life--they just don't make them like they used too.

I love watching Love Actually this time of year.  Great romantic comedy.  And although I'm not in grade school anymore, I make a point to watch the Charlie Brown Christmas special.

The Family Stone with Diane Keaton was good.

I Love all the Santa Clause Movies!

Im so soooo so excited.  My DH has not seen a lot of these which is good a change.  We somehow get stuck watching a movie only one of us has seen before.  Thanks everyone.  I think I might subscribe to Netflix for the Holidays!

Don't forget "Muppet Family Christmas" -- it has the Muppets, the Sesame Street characters AND the Fraggles!

"The Night They Saved Christmas", it isn't very well known but is so good.  They usually play it on ABC Family or Hallmark.

Oh! The Holiday with Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, and Jude Law would be a good one too!

Muppet Christmas Carol is the best.
