Nothing Like The Holidays with john leguizamo. Great movie about a puerto rican family. Silver Linings Playbook - forgot this is set during christmas time towards the end. Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

there was a showing of the apartment (introduced by kids in the hall's kevin mcdonald) at out local art-house cinema last week, but i missed it because i took too long getting new cross-country skis. I have never seen it. harrumph. . i really love in bruges, & that would probably be my choice. i even saw it based on your rating here, not that i'm trying to pad your ego or anything!

I have several classic X-Mas that I like, but I'd be lying if I tell you that I watch those movies year after year...I have not watched a X-mas movie in I don't know how long...In December I'd rather watch the regular non-holiday movies that come to the theater... | |

1. Home Alone. An all time classic with something for everyone. There's the slapstick humour of Joe Pesci getting his gold tooth knocked out, head set on fire, hand burnt, falling down the stairs etc, and Daniel Stern getting hit in the face with an iron, getting a nail through his foot among other things. Then there's the side story of the old man reuniting with his family. Also, one of the best cameos of all time for John Candy. The last great Christmas movie. If you don't agree, you'll get what Snakes got. 2. A Christmas Story. Another classic. You'll shoot your eye out, kid. 3. It's a Wonderful Life. Brilliant movie made better by James Stewart. Honourable mention. Die Hard A group of "terrorists" take over the Nakatomi building and it's up to an off duty cop to take them down. It shouldn't work as a Christmas movie, but it does. Now I have a machine gun. Ho. Ho. Ho. | |

1. Remember the Night - Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray, with Beulah Bondi and Sterling Holloway 2. The Bishop's Wife - Cary Grant, Loretta Young and David Niven. (TCM isn't showing it this year - how does such a thing happen?) 3. It's a Wonderful Life - James Stewart, Donna Reed - with an amazing supporting cast. Plus, Frank Capra directed.

Rudolph's Shiny New Year is miles better than Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, imo. Black Christmas ('74) Christmas Vacation Goodfellas Christmas Story

I thought that movie was terrible; it can't compare to the 1964 classic. Goodfellas is a Christmas movie?! [Edited 11/28/16 9:59am] "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

I really must be a scrooge, I honestly don't have a tradition of Christmas movies. A couple listed above I like on occasion, but not necessarily at Christmas time, and some I can't figure how people stand those movies. I haven't seen "It's a Wonderful Life" going on a decade now, yet every year in these parts it gets mentioned. Yep Zuzu's petals went right the heck over my head because of this quirk of mine. I think it's the obligation syndrome I suffer from. | |

Kinda surprised Goodfellas isn't on everybody's list! I enjoy RtRNR, but you're just fooled by the cuteness factor. Can't really blame ya, sooooo many reindeer! But Shiney New Year has better characters, develops them and the story better than RtRNR, and the suspense is much thicker. Gripping, I say. Gripping. | |

...and if I'm being honest, Xmas movies are just buying me time until I get to watch Groundhog Day on Groundhog Day. I look forward to GD more than any other winter time film. | |

IMHO< there's a difference between "Christmas movies" and movies that feature Christmas scenes during the arc of the movie. I'll refer to both.
Favorite Movies With Christmas Settings
The Godfather (1972): Likely the Greatest Film of All Time had pivotal settings during Christmas. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016
