What Is Your Favorite Christmas Movie?
David In Indy:
"A Christmas Carol" is definately my favorite all time Christmas movie. I love the Hallmark Hall of Fame version with George C. Scott. I think it came out in 1989 or 1990. I also love "The Preacher's Wife". :)
Ellemeno:
Dear Father Christmas, I mean David,

I chose It's a Wonderful Life. What a community! :)

What a great idea for a poll David :-* I use to love the Bishops Wife when I was growing up. I watched it everytime it was on TV and the original Miracle on 34th Street with Maureen O'Hara...very fond memories of lying on the floor in front of the fire with a big pillow watching both of those. Of course my brother and I lived for Charlie Brown, The Grinch, Rudolph and Nestor the Christmas Donkey....we loved that Rankin Bass stuff in the 60's. :D
I still watch them all and if they're not shown I have the videos, But ever since the late 80's my all time favorite has been Prancer. I so identify with little Jessica Riggs, even the town she lives in and her family farm remind me of my childhood. Except my Mama was there. Great feel good film for me. Brings back lots of memories.

i like the oldest one i guess the brittish version, it seems the closest to the dickens book in my opinion,,its black and white and i guess that also adds to the feel of the movie. but as you asked any year is great.

Yes. There are many versions of "A Christmas Carol". I also really like the old black and white verson of the Charles Dickens novel with Alistair Sim. I think that version came out in 1950. Of course this was entitled "Scrooge" and not "A Christmas Carol". Same story, different title.
I wonder if you are thinking of the 1938 version starring Reginald Owen as Ebenezer Scrooge and Gene Lockhart as Bob Cratchit?
