What Is Your Favorite Christmas Movie?
southendmd:
My favorite are two that aren't on the list:
Sublime: "A Christmas Memory", a memoir by Truman Capote. A black-and-white film done in the late '60s, I think. Stars the sublime Geraldine Page as Capote's eccentric aunt. Used to see it on PBS; I bought the old VHS copy from my local independent video store.
Ridiculous: "Scrooged" with Bill Murray is a hilarious update of the Christmas Carol story.
Also:
Hall of Fame: Has to be "It's a Wonderful Life".
Hall of Shame: Susan Lucci as Ebbie (Elizabeth?) Scrooge.

My favorite isn't on the list. It's the 1944 Vincente Minnelli classic Meet Me in St. Louis, which has a little something for every season, not least the Christmas one! This is one of my favorite films of all time, one I never tire of watching.

I like a lot of these, but my all-time favorite is actually "The Homecoming" - the movie upon which the series "The Waltons" was based with Patricia Neal. I think I like it so much not because it's such a great movie but because I have pleasant memories of watching it with my Mom every Christmas time when I was a kid.

Snow snow snow snow SNOW! It won't be long before we'll all be there in snow. I long to wash my hands, my face, my hair in snow.
White Christmas

David, you're such a softie. :-*
I chose "A Wonderful Life" because if George Bailey and Clarence can't make you feel glad to be alive, I don't know who can. :)
But I'm glad you included "Bad Santa," which, although seemingly the anti-Christmas movie, is really unexpectedly poignant, all the while being so, so funny. ;D
*Throws a snowball at RouxB* Gotcha! ;D
