Post by: Stephen_Zuckerman on December 17, 2010, 10:41:53 AM: Nightmare Before Christmas was fantastic when it came out... And I had a solid tradition of watching all of the claymation Christmas specials - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snow Man, Jack Frost, Year Without Santa Claus, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town... Really all of the Rankin/Bass stuff.

Post by: ShiffDrgnhrt on December 17, 2010, 11:16:54 AM: I like a certain Twilight Zone episode where Art Carney (Ed Norton of Honeymooner fame) is a down on his luck guy who is very generous, and becomes Santa Claus. :)
Title: Re: Whats your Holiday favs?
Post by: Mooneyes on December 17, 2010, 11:54:27 AM: I have to agree with Stephen except for the Nightmare Before Christmas. But what I would put above the list is "It's a Wonderful Life" with James Stewart.
Then I would say Princess Bride. Someone listed Home Alone and that is always good too. And of course The Christmas Story :)

Mr. Parker: He looks like a deranged Easter Bunny.
Mother: He does not!
Mr. Parker: He does too, he looks like a pink nightmare!

Post by: gilshem ironstone on December 17, 2010, 03:46:01 PM: In Mooneyes vein, "The Sound of Music"
Title: Re: Whats your Holiday favs?
Post by: Mooneyes on December 17, 2010, 04:38:13 PM: Gilshen, how would you know? The sound of Music is a wonderful one too. And the Wizard of Oz. That's why get holiday's off so we can play layo and vez on the couch watching our favorites in pajams with a big cheeseball and crackers *winks*

OH a minor mention? FOOTBALL Oh Yeah Buddy:D

A Christmas Story.

Post by: lonnarin on December 17, 2010, 06:15:25 PM: That scene in Santa Claus the Movie where all the children are crying because their poorly made toys all broke on Xmas morning still makes me laugh uncontrollably. Reminds me of when Steve Jobs rolls out the new Apple releases a month after everybody *JUST* bought the old one!
