Movie Holidays!

[Myrrh]

Alright, since it's December I wanna hear what kind of movies/tv shows/5 min skits of Christmas that you people enjoy. Post em you fuckers.

As for me...

Bad Santa, Nightmare before Christmas, Jingle All The Way, The latest Episode of Boston Legal, and so many more that I can't remember at this time but I'll be sure to post em when I remember them.

Boston Legal is a great television show. I wouldn't think of that for a Holiday but still an awesome show.

Anywho, Nightmare before Christmas is always a great watch between Halloween and Christmas. I wouldn't be American either if I didn't say I loved watching a Christmas Story at least once. ;o You'll shoot your eye out! lol

May not be a TV or movie, but another thing I love about christmas is some of the music. If I could find a decent version of O Holy Night on youtube I'd be listening to that all the time. It's my favorite holiday song. Stupid celebrities have to go and ruin it though! /shakes fist

I'm a HUGE fan of all the classic Christmas kids shows, movies cartoons (if you will)

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
Frosty

I can build a fire in my woodburning stove, lay on my couch with a fuzzy blanket from the moment I wake up all day long through the afternoon watching classic childrens cartoons. Those are probably my happiest moments.

ANYTHING to do with Santas Elves making the little toys!!

Nightmare before Christmas is amazing!!!

Jingle All the Way is the best Christmas movie ever.

 

[Halifirien]

"Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas" is my favorite Christmas thing, followed by National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and The Ref.

 

[Propagandhi]

This is the only x-mas oriented movie I will watch.

I really enjoy the Muppets Christmas movies, mainly because my old boss used to play them at work all the time.

Even though it's not a show or anything, I always try to go to NYC and get a picture of the giant Christmas tree each year, that's always fun.

 

[Zyndara]

A Christmas Story, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, White Christmas, Scrooged, Robot Chicken Christmas (esp. Who Killed Santa), Bad Santa, The Ref, Miracle on 34th St., A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol.

I love the classic animated shows - Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman.

There's more but I can't think of them atm.

Jingle All The Way
Scrooged
Nightmare Before Christmas - it qualifies
A Wish for Wings That Work (Bloom County Christmas)
Muppet Christmas Carol

 

[Tim Wakefield]

The Grinch, bitches!

Also, Christmas Vacation never fails to make me laugh.

 

[Tristam Green]

It blows me away that Zyndara and I are the only ones who are able to recognize the classical merit that is "Scrooged".

 

[Myrrh]

It blows me away that Zyndara and I are the only ones who are able to recognize the classical merit that is "Scrooged".

Scrooged is a fucking amazing movie.

 

[Zephayra]

Nightmare Before Christmas (Obviously)
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer (the ORIGINAL only)
I also enjoy Scrooged
The Black and White "A Christmas Carol"
The Disney "A Christmas Carol" (Scrooge McDuck rocks my socks)
Elf
Prancer (Makes me cry like a little girl though)
Batman Returns (Its Christmasy!)
How The Grinch Stole Christmas (Both versions)
The Year Without Santa Claus (Only because of Heat and Cold Miser, they crack me up)

My ABSOLUTE favourite christmas movie is a Rankin-Bass puppet production from the early 80s which is the only Christmas movie that didn't make it to DVD because it was TOO DARK. It's called The Life and Adventure of Santa Claus (If anyone else has seen this, I will love you forever).

It's about how Santa was an orphaned child that was adopted and lived in a forest of wood fairies and a lioness and once he was of age, the Great Ak showed him man's world. After seeing all the treachery and cruelty of Mankind, Claus decides to dedicate his life to bringing joy and happiness to innocent children. There's some monsters and a freaking dragon in it. It's actually based on a story written by L. Frank Baum, who wrote "The Wizard of Oz". I fucking love this movie so much. I wish I could find it on DVD.

As for tv, I always end up watching "The Secret World of Santa Claus" on teletoon. I don't even like the show, but I've been doing it for 5 years straight.
