Favorite or Unfavorite Holiday Movie/Animated Feature

Cakers1 — Tue, 16 Dec 2014 00:42:42 GMT

None.

Cornball movies - he/she in love with him/her engaged to somebody else but it all works out with the help of imaginary elves/angels.

He/she returns to hometown and finds new love with old flame.

Bad Santa movies.

It's a Wonderful Life.

Miracle on whatever street that was.

A Christmas Story - funny a few first times around.

Elf - same as A Christmas Story.

All Scrooge movies - meh.

The Snowman.

I'm with you on the sappy Hallmark/Lifetime Christmas movies. I also don't like A Christmas Story (borrrring and not very funny).

I love, love, love A Christmas Carol and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (not the stupid Jim Carrey one).

I've never found (yet) a made-for-tv Christmas movie I like... well, other than A Charlie Brown Christmas. Love that one!

I know, I'm a sap, but I'll always like "It's a Wonderful Life." Not only do I like the actors in it, it was an early lesson to me that a single life really does matter.

I also like "Scrooged," and a few of the classics, like "White Christmas" and "Miracle on 34th Street."

To each her/his own. May the joy of the season be with all of you!

There's a new one out that's similar in genre to A Christmas Story. It's from a book by Wally Lamb, I enjoyed it.

Molly Ringwald stars as the teacher, some cute kid as the main character whose only claim to fame is that he is a cousin of Annette Funicello.

I'm not that big on christmas movies, but 'A Christmas Story' was brilliant. I have seen it enough times, though, so I haven't watched it lately.

I also thought that 'Christmas Vacation' (from the Nat'l Lampoon series) was hilarious.

The 'Grinch' thing - I just love the Grinch song, I believe from the animated version, but I don't remember the rest of it. Seems like the animated one was very cute and the live action movie was well done by Jim Carrey

Christmas Vacation! Sooooo funny!

Made for tv--Borrowed Hearts starring Eric McCormick and Roma Downey--I have to watch this every year

Christmas Carol the one with Patrick Stewart-- Fantastic!

Holiday Switch with Nicole Eggert--another made for tv movie--she crawls into her dryer and gets a whole new rich life--really good movie

Polar Express!! It's so good and the music--wow!

Another made for tv movie--Three Days. This one is so worth buying from Amazon. Kristin Davis from S---x and the City is in it

I have to say I cannot stand The Grinch with Jim Carrey. Sooooo boring and dumb.

I do love that one, and the one starring George C. Scott!

Thanks for sharing this, Noel! (And hello, to you!) Ever since reading "She's Come Undone" years ago, I've been a fan of Wally Lamb. I'll look for this. Thanks, again.

Hey, there, Ms. dBd

I think it's on Lifetime, but that surprised me because it was so good, not schmaltzy. Although, I do like a good cup of Christmas schmaltz, LOL.

Happy Holidays to you, my friend

Love Actually

Every time I watch it I recognize another well know star this time I recognized Martin Freeman (from Sherlock and the Hobbit) as the p*rn star guy // The star of Walking Dead is in it.

I HATE "It's a Wonderful Life"!

It's just soooooo stupid, and smarmy.

I never liked ""A Little Drummer Boy"". I think it may have been too dark for my younger self. Even the song sounds a little sinister to me - the ba rum pum pum pum's and steady drum beat.

I hate that the Hallmark channel has been running these movies back to back last month and this month.

Where's my I Love Lucy

Bah, humbug!
