Christmas Movies

[Diane]

What are your favorite yuletide classics

Scrooged - 1980's adaptation of Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carol" with an all-star cast featuring Bill Murray at his absolute best! I love the 1980's-ness of the movie, anti-Apartheid pictures, Bill Murray drinking Stoli and Tab...hahaha it's great, I've grown a fondness for drinking vodka and tab during this holiday season because of this movie...it's not as horrible as you might think


I'll put some more up later but I figure we'll all be putting up virtually the same movies so I'll leave a few for you to describe.

I use to love the christmas story as a kid. The one where the kid gets a bee bee gun for christmas and that one kid gets his tongue stuck to something. Been awhile since I see it so I can't remember it that well.

These two are by far my favorites!!

Love Scrooged! As Lyle said, Bill Murray is at his best in this movie, along with What About Bob and The Man Who Knew To Little, of course.

But my fav is A Christmas Story. I have watched that movie at least 100 times!!! Either TNT or TBS does the 24 hour marathon of this movie starting on Christmas Eve night, and I sit there and wrap gifts while watching it. Then I'll watch it the next morning, then my mom has it on when I go over there. I never get tired of it. Plus of course, most of it was shot in Cleveland, so that adds to it.

They actually now have a play of A Christmas Story that is playing in Cleveland. A friend of mine went last week, and he said it was really good. Someone even bought the familys house from the movie, and turned it into a museum!! The restored it to look just like the house did in the movie. The place gets packed during this time of year.
