11. The Man Who Came To Dinner and Holiday

Monty Woolley and Bette Davis are great in the first one and Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Lew Ayers likewise in the second.

Oh and the Alastair Sim version of Christmas Carol.

[IrishEyes]

57. "Holiday" is a great film.

It is one of my favorites.

[PhylliPretzel]

41. Another vote

for "Love Actually."

[TexasBushwhacker]

44. Love Actually too!

[Roland99]

59. Add one for Scrooged!

but I also love A Muppet Christmas Carol

[tblue37]

70. "Elf."

[2naSalit]

2. It's a Charlie Brown Christmas and...

A Christmas Story. That's it.

Loved it

[jimfields33]

9. I liked it to. Underrated in my opinion.

[red dog 1]

20. It's now Poll Choice # 19

(I registered your vote in Reply # 1)

[Niagara]

58. Thank you for the movie recommendation.

I've never heard of this movie, which is strange because I like Mary Steenburgen. I'm going to have to search for it since it's not in any of my TV/movie services.

[Srkdqltr]

6. Actually Die Hard and Lethal Weapon. I'm not a fan of Christmas Movies.

[red dog 1]

38. I liked both Die Hard and Lethal Weapon, (which I've seen at least a dozen times)

[lkinwi]

7. The Bishop's Wife

[red dog 1]

21. It's now Poll Choice # 20

(I registered your vote in Reply # 1)

[red dog 1]

24. It's listed # 12 in "More Poll Options" (Reply # 1)

(I registered your vote)

[dewsgirl]

26. Thank you, my bad I missed the other thread.

If you need a filler, or somehow run out Christmas movies, the Ice Harvest is one that I would place in a category with Bad Santa and the Ref, only with strippers. Billy Bob Thornton, John Cusack and Oliver Platt all play lead roles.

[red dog 1]

34. Thanks for reminding me about "The Ice Harvest" ...(How could I have forgotten that one?)

I loved it and have seen it many times...Great cast, including those you named + Ned Bellamy, who played the bartender, Sidney.

(I'll add it to "More Poll Options" in reply #1)

[underpants]

16. Reindeer Games - thanks for including that.

Like Die Hard it was an excellently basic movie about modern Christmas

[red dog 1]

29. Thanks for that Kinks video

(I saw them once at Winterland, SF)

[red dog 1]

31. Reindeer Games is listed in the main poll, if you care to vote for it

(It has zero votes now)

[Lunabell]

19. It's a Wonderful Life!!

I cry and just boohoo. My second favorite is how the Grinch stole Christmas. The tv special. I guess that doesn't count so I'll say the Grinch.

[Niagara]

22. In no particular order.

Christmas with the Kranks

The Holiday

and


A Christmas Story

[ItsjustMe]

23. The Christmas Chronicles

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2990140/

[blm]

25. No Bill Murray?

Scrooged.

Personally, I don’t have a favorite. I like most of them.

[red dog 1]

32. "Scrooged" is included in "More Poll Options" (Reply # 1)

I'll register your vote there

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. I like "Scrooged" a lot.

I can't stand sentimental movies.

[red dog 1]

35. I'll add your vote...I don't particularly like "sentimental" movies either, (with a few exceptions)

("Scrooged" is Poll Choice # 16 and now has 2 votes)

[frazzled]

37. President Obama settled the issue the other night

Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie. It’s an action movie that tangentially involves Christmas. POTUS has spoken. Listen up.

(Video available in Video & Multimedia.

[Blue Owl]

39. Dye Harder With A Virus starring Rudy Guiliani

That might be my new fave if the main character gets knocked off

[red dog 1]

40. Good one! That one could be called "Hair Dye Running Down Your Face on TV"

(I can't stand that a$$hole)

[FSogol]

42. Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory. (the 1966 version)

Also like It's a wonderful life.

[rownesheck]

43. Krampus.

'Nuff said.

[Squidly]

66. hahahaha

great choice, and it gave me a much need laugh!

[beveeheart]

45. The Holiday and An Affair to Remember(1957)

Love them both!

[SharonClark]

46. Elf.

[red dog 1]

64. A Christmas Carol is now included in "More Poll Options"

(including your vote)

[sarge43]

48. A Christmas Story

"You'll shoot your eye out, kid."

[doublethink]

49. "Beyond Tomorrow" ... 1940 ...

Vintage classic fantasy Christmas movie ... free in as HD as you can get it on youtube ... surprised it hasn't shown up in this thread. Worth the watch as anything mentioned so far ... Merry Christmas everyone !!

[electric_blue68]

50. Pls add another vote for "Scrooged" 👍 and

add A Christmas Carol with Alistar Sims (if that isn't the 1952 already).👍

Just thought of "The Polar Express". 🙂

[red dog 1]

63. I'll add your vote for Scrooged

[First Speaker]

51. My Favorite is *Christmas in Connecticut*...

...from right after WWII. Barbara Stanwyck and Sydney Greenstreet, which is heaven enough...LOL...and I just love the way it shows the old CT, the one my parents grew up in, when it was really small-towny and rural and not "developed". And I just like hokey old pieces of Hollywood schmaltz.

[Straw Man]

52. "Three Godfathers" (1948)

[yellowdogintexas]

53. "We're No Angels" starring Humphrey Bogart

Peter Ustinov, Aldo Ray, Joan Bennet, Basil Rathbone and Leo G Carroll
Three Devil's Island escapees hide out in the house of a kindly merchant and repay his kindness by helping him and his family out of several crises.
Delightful movie. We watch it every year

Also:
Christmas In The Clouds
We watch this one every year also
The only well known actor is Graham Greene; he plays a vegetarian chef who tries to discourage the diners from eating meat. Graham Greene is always a treat.

A classic comedy of mistaken identity and romance set during the holiday season at a ski resort that is owned and operated by a Native American Nation. Shot on location at The Sundance Resort in Utah, this is the first contemporary romantic comedy to feature an almost entirely American Indian cast. The film was featured at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. Written by Anonymous

[malthaussen]

68. On my short list.

I mean, really, what a cast!

-- Mal

[Rhiannon12866]

54. Not a movie, but I love The Grinch! And I always watch the Christmas Story marathon

[Paladin]

55. "Scrooge" (1951)

It's just not Christmas for me until I see Alastair Sim do justice to Dickens' classic tale. No other Christmas movie comes close, in my opinion.

[IrishEyes]

56. My favorite is "The Shop Around the Corner" with Jimmy Stewart.

It is not as well known a film as the rest but I love it.

I also love "The Apartment" with Jack Lemmon.

[musette_sf]

60. Just saw this one on TCM

As he does every winter, hobo Aloysius T. McKeever (Victor Moore) moves in to a mansion on New York City's 5th Avenue while its owners are away for the winter and invites all his hobo friends in from the cold. But this Christmas, Mary O'Connor (Ann Harding) comes home unexpectedly after a quarrel with her boyfriend to find her house occupied by jovial street dwellers. To make matters even worse, her father (Charles Ruggles) disguises himself as a hobo to get an invitation to stay in his own home -- and keeps his identity secret in this perennial Christmas favorite about rediscovering family and the joy of being together.

[bikebloke]

61. Bon Noel

WWI spontaneous christmas truce.

[Mad_Dem_X]

65. My husband and I watch Bad Santa every year

I've never seen It's A Wonderful Life. Does that make me a bad person?

[red dog 1]

74. Nope

[malthaussen]

67. "Fitzwilly"

I'm weird.

-- Mal

[bluestarone]

69. It's a Wonderful Life is our favorite BUT

It pisses me off that the banker got away with keeping the $8000!

[Dukkha]

71. Scrooge (1972)

The musical version with Albert Finney. Watch it every year.

[jrandom421]

72. My favorite is not on either poll

Mine is

The Gathering 1977

starring Ed Asner and Maureen Stapelton

[yellowdogintexas]

73. Pocket Full of Miracles with Bette Davis and a host of other great actors

March of the Wooden Soldiers with Laurel and Hardy. Currently on Prime
Sometimes it is referred to as Babes in Toyland
For some reason one of our local TV stations in Nashville would run it repeatedly during the Christmas season. This was in the 60s, I think back when local stations had blocks of time to be filled. Our whole family adores this film
I found it on Amazon and sent a copy to each of my sisters.

It is a very silly and fun movie

[Ilsa]

75. Underworld: Blood Wars (2016)

BBC America is running the series repeatedly this month. Great for Christmas, eh? Lots of great actors:
Kate Beckinsale
Theo James
Charles Dance
Lara Pulver
Tobias Menzies
James Faulkner


Love Actually is one of my favorites.

[Stuart G]

76. I would guess that "It's A Wonderful Life" is my favorite movie of all time..

K & R...
