'Auntie Mame', and 'Since You Went Away' tend to make me think of Christmas, I don't know why. What films will you be looking forward to viewing this holiday? For me: 'The Bishop's Wife', 'Edward Scissorhands' and especially the French film, 'Joyeux Noel'.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 9:48 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Where eagles dare (snow) Great escape Magnificent seven Any connery bonds    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 9:57 AM     By:   TominAtl   (Member) Sometimes, a film doesn't necessarily have to have 'snow and evergreen scent' to make them special for you during the holidays.

Die Hard, though there is an ongoing debate as to whether or not this is a true Christmas film between everyone who made the film it seems. I don't see it as a "Christmas Holiday" film but it does has that Christmas tone and feel to it of course as it does happen on Christmas Eve.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 10:22 AM     By:   tiomkinfan   (Member) Holiday Inn The Bishop's Wife It's a Wonderful Life Home Alone Christmas in Connecticut Miracle on 34th Street ( both film versions ) Meet Me in St. Louis Anything else I can squeeze in between work, shopping and wrapping. My brother and I compete each year to see who can watch the most titles before the 25th.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 10:30 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Where eagles dare (snow) Great escape Magnificent seven Any connery bonds Good selection - but I’d expect no less. Definite: Scrooged Likely: Muppets Christmas Carol Possible: Anything    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 10:40 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Actually bruv i nearly put both those...how freaky. ...and blackadder xmas carol.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 11:05 AM     By:   First Breath   (Member) None, as usual. Well, maybe CHRISTMAS VACATION again.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 11:14 AM     By:   Ado   (Member) Home Alone 1 and 2 Polar Express The Santa Clause 1 only Christmas Carol - Patrick Stewart Christmas Carol - George C Scott Christmas Carol - animated Zemeckis Christmas Carol - Mickey Mouse Miracle on 34th St, original ( I tried watching the remake, it does not do it for me) Prep and Landing shorts Arthur Christmas - (really good) Elf (But I think it is not as good as it's reputation)    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 11:54 AM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) I'd like to catch "A Christmas Story" every year, but it just doesn't work out for various reasons. I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned it yet.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 12:18 PM     By:   paulhickling   (Member) My daughter and I like to watch White Christmas. I used to watch it every year as a kid myself and transmitted the same feeling to her. She's 27 and I'm 57. Whether or not we do it this year is another matter. She likes lots of other Christmas films I couldn't care less about, and I watched another favourite last Monday evening at my monthly Sons of the Desert meeting. It was of course Babes in Toyland IN COLOUR from the Legend dvd. Lovely We started with The Fixer Uppers short where Stan and Ollie are doing door-to-door greetings cards selling. Both films were stellar and enjoyed by all. Beware of the Bogeymen!    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 12:46 PM     By:   johnjohnson   (Member) My three essential Christmas films    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 12:49 PM     By:   dbrooks   (Member) I know all the best classics mentioned above will be rotating on a regular basis from the cable channels. My family are not into movie watching as I am. So I try to watch the "different" Christmas picks, (or really bad ones the critics have rated). This year, Ernest Saves Christmas, Jingle all the Way, and Ron Howard's How the Grinch Stole Christmas.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 12:52 PM     By:   Ado   (Member) I know all the best classics mentioned above will be rotating on a regular basis from the cable channels.

Also, Laurel and Hardy's Babes In Toyland and the romantic comedy Love Actually...    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 3:04 PM     By:   ANZALDIMAN   (Member) Each one of these I own on disc. And that is how I watch them this time of year. SCROOGE (1970) The Albert Finney Musical Classic. A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1984) The George C Scott Classic. THE HOMECOMING A CHRISTMAS STORY (1971) The Patricia Neal / Richard Thomas Classic. The pilot TV movie that spawned the successful "The Waltons" series. ALL IS BRIGHT (2013) Paul Giamatti and Paul Rudd. This film has built a cult following. Not a Classic. Yet. But for those who have ever worked at a Christmas tree lot at some point in their lives and dealt with the various characters of the general public that drift through these places during the month of December this film connects. Equally quirky are the two leads in the film. Worth a watch if you have not yet seen it. Giamatti is among the best actors working today. A MIDNIGHT CLEAR (1992) Another offbeat choice to be sure, but every year around Christmas time it gets a spin. A powerful film that always makes me think.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 3:34 PM     By:   WagnerAlmighty   (Member) I live for Bad Santa.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 4:02 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Help me get into...christmas films.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 4:15 PM     By:   Tango Urilla   (Member) Help me get into...christmas films. You forgot to mention that you've never seen a Christmas film you liked and that you don't like Christmas in any way, shape or form. But in answer to your query: Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence. Come for David Bowie, stay for Ryuichi Sakamoto's stunning music. Pair with Bowie and Bing's Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy duet. Or watch Reindeer Games with a six-pack of beer if that's more your speed.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 9:12 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) If I understood the original post the OP is asking what non Christmas movies do you watch during the holidays because they have a christmassy feel. For me it would be The Secret of NIMH. The Rats lair is lit up with Christmas lights, there's tin toys as decorations, and the guards look like toy soldiers from the Nutcracker.     Non-Film Score Discussion: CHRISTMAS FILMS you'll be viewing?    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
