Last night Hubby and I watched "It's a Wonderful Life." He realized that all these years he had mistakenly thought that "It's a Wonderful Life" was the movie "Miracle on 34th Street," which he didn't really like that much. So, while I was watching a Christmas classic again for the 10th time, Hubby accidentally watched it for the first time. On the bright side, he liked it!
*All photo credits go to Wikipedia for these ones, folks*
The other ones that I love and/or remember growing up watching are:
-Love Actually (*the only one I did not watch as a kid, obviously)
-The Muppet Christmas Carol
-Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
-Frosty the Snowman
-Santa Claus is Comin' to Town
-Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas
-The Little Drummer Boy
...which, by the way, is one of the most violent kids' movies I've ever seen. I somehow didn't notice when I was little but I watched it again a few years ago and was shocked by all the stuff I missed back in the day.
-Miracle on 34th Street (the 90's one)
-Prancer
And finally, I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who has ever seen or heard of this movie, but
-The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus
I liked this last one when I was little because it had a lioness in it. And I was obsessed with animals. As in, if a movie didn't have at least one animal in it, I probably didn't like it. Also it had forest faeries and to-be Santa hand-carved all of his original toys out of wood, which was neat.
Has anyone else seen it/heard of it?
When I think of Christmastime festivities, I always think of these movies.
Which finally leads me to my question in the title of this post: What is your favorite Christmas (or other holiday) movie?
Are you a fan of the classics or do you like the more modern Christmas movies? (Or do you watch something totally unrelated to Christmas?)
And on a side note: Christmas is only 13 days away! Have you started your shopping yet?
I can never manage to stop at one question with these. I'm too curious! One of these days...
Four Christmases with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn is hilarious. A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation are also good. Elf is a funny one too, one of the better Will Ferrell movies.
ReplyDeleteI've actually never seen A Christmas Story, or Four Christmases--but I've seen the other two! Very funny. :)
DeleteYou should definitely watch Elf and Four Christmases. We have Four Christmases, so you can borrow it if you want.
DeleteI meant A Christmas Story, not Elf. :)
DeleteHaha, no problem! I would like to borrow Four Christmases. :)
