Re: My favorite Holiday Movies

I've been hosting a Movie Matinee with three of my neighbors who are in my bubble. I provide popcorn and soda but tomorrow I have cider and hot chocolate. Someone always brings cookies.

 

Tomorrow by special request we are watching '' The Grinch" with Boris Karloff. I've never seen it. Usually we watch only free movies but it's Xmas. Two neighbors don't have TV and one has limited channels.

 

Last week we watched, "Meet me in St.Louis." What a beautiful movie. I'm Jewish but I really do like the Xmas movies. Since no one is going anywhere this  holiday I'll show movies all day if anyone wants to drop in.

My, what good taste you have! Heart

 

This has been my favorite film since its release in 1968.

 

Well, what shall we hang... the holly, or each other?

Re: My favorite Holiday Movies

Anyone who wants a sweet, heartwarming, and funny one that you may not have seen, try watching --- The House Without a Christmas Tree

 

This is mine and my husband's favorite Christmas movie and it reminds us of when we were little. 

 

Our second favorite is Christmas Vacation.  Of course, I always have to watch the Charlie Brown Christmas and both Home Alone movies.  Also, the one with the little boy who wants the BB gun -- what's it called --- Christmas Tale??  Any way --- it's priceless!

Re: My favorite Holiday Movies

Only two:

 

A Christmas Story - we call our neighbor's dogs the Bumpus hounds,

 

Die Hard -  Love Alan Rickman's delivery of Ho Ho Ho

 

We have Die Hard on the DVR.

 

TBS usually runs A Christmas Story all day Christmas Day and we watch it at some point Christmas Day.
