I’m excited about Christmas on Jan 1st but I hold in my excitement til November. I love this time of year but wish the weather was nicer. Granted in North Texas we get warm weather and cold this time of year back and forth.
A Christmas Carol (1951)
A Christmas Carol (1930s)
It’s a Wonderful Life
Charlie Brown Christmas
Muppet Christmas Carol
Yes, I love the story of A Christmas Carol and have the book as well and love that too. Would also like to recommend if you haven’t seen it the original Twilight Zone episode Night of the Meek. It is the only Christmas themed one. The 80s TZ reboot did a version as well that is good. I have to shamelessly plug the 80s TZ series for those who haven’t seen it. Not as good as the original but still very enjoyable. 80s TZ is on YouTube along with the 02 version if you want to see that.
Die hard
Blockbuster had it in the Christmas section so I think that’s fine
Came for this.
Ernest Saves Christmas is an annual watch. A Christmas Story, even though normies have tried their best to ruin it, can’t forget Home Alone.
Haven't seen an Ernest movie since I was a pre-teen. Need to watch them again. My mom hated him so I enjoyed watching his Saturday morning show to annoy her. Home Alone is great, but my favorite part is Candy's cameo. I will buy myself a Kenosha Kickers jacket when I get down to my ideal weight. How is A Christmas Story being ruined? People complain about the Chinese waiters?
Nah, people just run it into the ground, I think TBS airs it for 24 hours every year.
That's exactly it, I hate that movie because it's become of it's obsessive cult following and the fact that it is the most overplayed Christmas movie of all time.
I'd also blame it a bit on women born in the late 70s that go fucking on and on about the dumb teen girl movies they watched as a 13 year old as if they are the absolute pinnacle of cinema, and the Christmas Story seems to get obsessed with by those same people.
I think it's the most quotable of the Christmas movies, you are going go hear fragillay a lot furing a year, at least I do
Home Alone is definitely on the list but when I was a youngster the two that I watched over and over again were Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman.
Great ones indeed
A Christmas Story.
For those who dont know it is the story from the POV of a 9 year old boy around Christmas time.
True classic
This is my dad's favorite. Basically because it's his whole boomer childhood wrapped up with a bow. I like it too!
so few movies now use the inner monologue: Christmas Story, FIght Club, and the 1980s Dune are the only few prominent movies that come to mind for me. But when done right, its an incredible story telling tool.
Edit: American Psycho too. that movie was absolutely hilarious
Edit 2: its all coming back to me - Apocalypse Now, Memento, Wolf of Wallstreet, Goodfellas........
Great movie
Can't believe nobody has mentioned National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation yet.
This was our go-to as kids.
Me neither
I really like Klaus. It's a Netflix movie, but don't hold that against it. It's a traditionally animated movie that feels like a classic Disney film. It's funny, heartfelt, and it has Norm McDonald mocking the main character for his bad attitude.
Die Hard
Batman Returns
Jingle All the Way
Home Alone
Gremlins
Batman Returns is a great movie.
I really haven't liked a Batman movie since.
Keaton is great and Tim Burton's Gotham is basically canon to me.
Oh yea. I forget Gremlins takes place during Christmas season
There's a relatively famous monologue from Phoebe Cates where she recalls her dad pretending to be Santa who got stuck coming down the chimney and died.
Classic black comedy.
I almost forgot Ghostbusters 2
Isn't that more of a New Years movie?
Yeah I guess you're technically right but they do wear Santa hats in the movie. So at least partially both.
I always did have a sore spot for the classics like The Snowman and Father Christmas as the art style itself just feels warm.
A Christmas Story - because duh it'll be on all day on a Turner channel
A Christmas Carol - The Basil Rathbone one. It's probably one of the ones you listed. I know it by Basil, not the year.
Scrooged - Because it's funny.
It's a Wonderful Life - Capra makes charming movies and this is super cute
The Santa Clause - Just seen it a lot. I like Tim Allen so it's a fun watch
And, of course DIE HARD
Die Hard can definitely be a Christmas movie. I remember blockbuster had it in the Christmas section. Never saw the Rathbone version of A Christmas Carol
I liked The Santa Clause quite a few years ago, and just remembered it’s on my Plex. Christmas with the Kranks was also pretty good from what I recall, another with Tim Allen.
I can't say I like Christmas With the Cranks.
Isn’t there a sequel to a Christmas story taking place with them on a summer vacation? Or maybe it was just in book form
There is, I don't remember the name and it was made in the 90s I think. But it's summertime Ralphie
Thanks!
My Summer Story
I like the old Burl Ives ones and the Charlie Brown Christmas myself. Mainly because I watched them as a kid I guess. My nostalgia is for the old simple Christmas I guess. I'd totally rather have a boring Charlie Brown stick tree and a simple Christmas dinner or something rather than the explosion of extravagance it's become for the "holidays"
Die Hard
Edward Scissorhands
Batman Returns
Elf
Home Alone 2
I haven’t seen Edward Scissorhands in years. Vincent Price’s last movie right?
I dont care what bruce willis says. Diehard 2 is a christmas movie
I can see that argument
A classic underrated one I used to like as a kid is "Santa Clause" with Tim Allen slowly morphing into the new Santa.
I am ashamed I still haven’t seen it. I need to
It's surprisingly good. Definitely worth a watch.
You do. Also look into Christmas with the Kranks, another with Tim Allen.
Get on that, it's so good it spawned multiple shitty sequels.
Rocky IV
Christmas Vacation
That’s all I got. I don’t watch a lot of movies. I’ve seen “It’s a wonderful life” and found it to be a slog, but I’m sure that’s sacrilege.
Nothing wrong with that. I can be sappy at times so it’s right up my alley
Look up the SNL sketch "It's a wonderful life: The lost ending." Makes me lol every time.
lol never saw that before. Old man potter gets his ass kicked while everyone sings auld lang syne. I think that would have made me like the movie better
Nightmare Before Christmas The Grinch (DreamWorks) Muppet Christmas Carol Home Alone 1+2 Strange Exports.
I also watch a few Christmas marches with demons and Santa Klausen. Walk through of Christmas markets as well.
Honestly, I haven't really been feeling it this year.
Hopefully the spirit gets you
It's A Wonderful life, I'm 40 And saw it for the first time about two years ago and was beside myself. Being a husband father, and I consider myself a very hard worker and good guy, it really hit home. I probably wouldn't have got it, much less appreciated it as a kid. As a man, it's heart wrenching but also heart warming.
Four Christmases
Home Alone
Home Alone 2
A Christmas Story A Christmas Story Christmas Christmas Vacation
That’s about it.
I rather enjoy Patrick Stewart's version of A Christmas Carol, which was a TV movie on TNT back in the day. I still bust out the DVD every few Christmases!
Oh yea, forgot about that one. It was good
In no particular order:
How the Grinch stole Christmas (original animation)
Die Hard
Klaus
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
The Santa Clause
Great list
Pretty much just the classic Grinch and Rudolph movies. I’m not a big Christmas movie fan.
Didn’t see Scrooged on here, definitely worth a watch very 80s bill murray
I enjoy Violent Night, and if Die Hard counts then so does it.
Trading Places always feels great this time of year. Yes, it spans from early winter through New Year's, but if you were ever in Philly for this time of year (before John Street turned it into a hellhole) it was pretty nice and the movie nails that.
As you retards keep spamming me with tags on your stormfaggot containment board...
Inglorious Bastards. I love watching the Nazis die painful deaths, and the ending scene where they carve a swastika into the Nazi's scalp is 10/10 filmmaking.
I wish there was just a movie that's like John Wick, but with Nazis being killed in masses.
Imp’s gonna get a visit from three ghosts this Christmas.
If they're the ghosts of dead Nazis, I'll get the vacuum cleaner.
Only good Nazi is a dead one.
Go away Imp
Hang yourself, Nazi.
Nah, I think I'm going to breed some White children with a White woman just to make you seethe.
How's the MGTOW recruiting going? Still nobody wanting to join a cult of sad pathetic losers?
He got banned from MGTOW. LOL
Pottery
How on earth?
It actually makes sense. He was trying to use them as a "personal army" against White Nationalists on this site. It was a lot of shit stirring.
Sure you will, stormfaggot.
Pretty good. Birth rates and marriage rates have never been lower.
Have you learned how to not get on a website? That may help.
It might, but I'd rather just crack your echo chamber with reality for a bit.
I think you’re wasting your time. Unlike me, because I’m just an idiot with too much time on my hands.
I'm waiting for LMU to update so it's no big deal.
What? Im not a nazi
You know the drill, they label you a nazi so they can go after you with all the institutional power they have
It's apparently Imp's alt, and he is insane. Don't worry about him.
*She.
Yea, I’ll let others handle the current events. More fun to talk about nerd stuff or fun topics
Oh, hey.
You must be the last sane person left.
This place is a Nazi dumpster fire and mods ignore my calls to ban people who tag me, so I'm going to force the issue.
