Favorite Christmas Movies!
Well with channels like TBS running their 300 days of Christmas you may be Christmased out………but what if you are still unable to discover your holiday cheer? Here’s a list of Christmas favorites, some are new, some are golden oldies still cherished and never forgotten. Grab the family, some festive sweaters, and curl up to enjoy some Christmas Cheer.
For the kids:
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer- though created in 1964 who can not love the crazy Dentist Elf, the Abominable Snowman, and the island of misfit toys. A classic loved throughout the ages!
Prancer:for those of you who love the reindeer this movie is for you. It will bring a warm feeling in your heart and tears to your eyes as a little girl discovers one of Santa’s reindeer who got left behind. Definitely a keeper.
Muppets Christmas Carol: Well this is a self explanatory winner: The Muppets, telling the story of Charles Dicken’s The Christmas Carol. Gotta love the Muppets!
A Christmas Story: Red Ryder Carbine Action 200 Shot Range Model B.B. Gun. Need I say more?
More: The Polar Express, Deck The Halls, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, The Santa Clause 1, 2 and 3,
Comedy:
Trapped In Paradise: Three bumbling convict brothers try and rob at small town bank on Christmas Day. Join Nicolas Cage, Dana Carvey and Jon Loviz definitely make this a must see.
Elf: Just getting to see Will Ferral in a giant elf suit is amusing, but as usual his crazy antics and acting make this an awesome Christmas Choice.
Scrooged: Billy Murray portraying his own crazy Christmas Tale Version, back when Bill Murray was hilarious.
Mixed Nuts: A handful of favorites starring Steve Martin and Madeline Khan but with random cameos by Jon Stewart, Parker Posey, Rob Reiner, Juliette Lewis, and Adam Sandler(who sings a song about jello! ). Obviously from that alone, a must see!
Reindeer Games: All the action and excitement of an action movie…………set at Christmas. Won’t exactly put you in the spirit, but it may keep him interested in watching the rest of these movies!
Love Actually: A romantic comedy about love, the holidays wiht extra charm and crazy twists!
More: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Ernest Saves Christmas,
Oldies but Goodies:
It’s A Wonderful Life: Who says movies get old? This one is still a holiday favorite bound to bring the family together!
Miracle on 34th Street: Virginia there is a Santa Claus!
A Charlie Brown Christmas: Always a favorite family tradition. Who can resist all our favorites: Linus, Snoopy, Lucy, and of course, that crazy Christmas Tree Charlie picks out!
All right I’m sure I missed some, please share!
