What is your Christmas movie?

[Encentrik]

Everyone has that one special film that they watch during Christmas time; What is the movie that you watch to fully enjoy this time of year?

Mine would be "It's a Wonderful Life" directed by Frank Capra; this is that quintessential Christmas film that shows that one man can make a difference in the lives of so many. Whether it'd be a minor event, your choices affect everyone and when you help others out, they'll help you out in the end. This film has been parodied in so many ways, the latest in my mind being the episode from Warehouse 13. It's one of my favorite movies of all time and it always puts a smile on my face.

What's yours?

Gremlins its on tv every year at christmas

The Rankin/Bass versions of "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings". I know, not Christmas movies, but when I was a kid they would always air them at this time of year.

Now that is one awesome Christmas movie! Although I'm surprised many don't consider it to be because it's so action oriented.

Elf, because I'm not really a fan of sappy old Christmas movies. And it was before Will Ferrel's downward spiral.

 

[Lightning Delight]

Dang it, OP! You stole mine. That's actually a tradition my family has. We get the entire extended family together of Christmas Eve and watch it.

I do like Elf a lot, even though I don't really like Christmas films

Though there are plenty of films I always watch at Christmas, mine's also "It's a Wonderful Life". It makes me feel grateful for what I have and reminds me to take nothing for granted. After all, someone once said to me that even a man who has nothing still has everything to lose.

Gremlins is my favorite but I don't own it so I can't watch it year after year. I usually watch Batman Returns, another odd Christmas choice hah. It's really great, catwoman is sexy, the penguin is scary, and Christopher Walken is awesome as usual.

 

[piplink]

either home alone or a nightmare before christmas , they were always my favorites. :3

Muppet Christmas Carol (Muppets rule!)
Wakko's Wish (awesome Animaniacs movie that didn't get the attention it deserves)
and the MST3K version of Santa Claus conquers the Martians.
