White Christmas, most definitely. I do like some of the others you listed, but that one just tops the list.

Yay! Another one who loves "A Christmas Story." And you guys that have not seen it, I suggest you see it because it's hillarious for kids and adults.

The Nightmare Before Christmas. Although IMO, its really more of a Halloween movie but I watch it at Christmas time. Also Batman Returns is a bit Christmasy so I may watch that too.

Other than that... nope... The Grinch with Jim Carry MAYBE but I really don't like that movie much.

If you want a really good version of A Christmas Carol, you should check out the Patrick Stewart version. It has a great scene where "Silent Night" is sung in several different languages as the Ghost of Christmas Present takes Scrooge around the world.
And for the record, the Disney version is pretty good too. Mickey Mouse makes an excellent Bob Cratchit. And Morty is an excellent Tiny Tim.

Now that I think about it I don't really know that many Christmas movies, but I like The Grinch (Jim Carry's one) and I've never seen The Nightmare before Christmas, which sucks but I'll try make a plan for this year.

My nephew checked out "The Christmas Shoes" a while back from the library. I should watch it with them when they watch it again ^__^

I have a feeling I'm going to be crying my eyes out when I do ;___; Have you guys heard the song?

You will, the movie is base off the song. Its a sad song, but its also a nice Christmas song as well.

The movie is very good as well.

GeneD, make a plan to watch It's A Wonderful Life. It's even on DVD. It's a great movie.

Some animated/claymation movies are awesome, although Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer used to scare me to death (and I still don't care for it)

A Christmas Story is classic. Awesome movie, look foreward to it every year.

You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

I somehow have a fuzzy mp3 of the cast of Sailor Moon singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" in Japanese, XD. I think some series have special Christmas episodes, but I'm not sure which ones.

I also love some of the Christmas movies they show on ABC. I remember seeing one a few years ago that was really sad. The wife got hit by a car and died so an angel like reversed time and let the husband do everything over again. Anyone know what movie that is?

Batman Returns.


Along with The Nightmare Before Christmas, A Christmas Story, How the Grinch Stole Chistmas, and It's a Wonderful Life.

Oh yes, How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The animated version, of course. I wish I had it on DVD but they always charge like 15 bucks for it, which seems like way too much for a dang 30-minute special.
