Christmas Movies

[El Kabong]

All the Rankin/Bass films are great!!!!
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
Frosty The Snowman
Frosty's Winter Wonderland (not to be confused with the awful Frosty Returns)
Rudolph's Shiney New Year
Twas The Night Before Christmas
The Year Without Santa Claus
Santa Claus Is Comin To Town
ETC.


But a couple of off the wall ones that I love are as follows

The Muppet Family Christmas - it stars ALL muppets, from The Muppet Show, Seasame Street, and Fraggle Rock. It's a classic and one I have watched every year I can remember.

MST3K: Santa Claus Conquers The Martians - HILARIOUS...here's a clip

The only Christmas movie i love is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

[El Kabong]

That is a great one

I'm thinking of a movie, title unknown, where the father makes playing hockey with his buddies a bigger priority than quality time with wife and young son. Father then gets killed in a car accident while on his way back home, then comes back as a snowman that only the young son can communicate with.

Anyone know the name?

Jack Frost starring Michael Keaton and Kelly Preston

[CGM]

Yeah, that's the one. I looked it up and he was a travelling musician in a band, not a hockey player. Good movie.

I don't care for Christmas movies, but Bad Santa tops my list.

The original black and white "A Christmas Carol" starring Alistair Sim is a classic. A christmas tradition in my family.

Awesome choice, Alistair Sim in 1951's "Scrooge"

The original "Charles Dickens': A Christmas Carol" was supposed to star Lionel Barrymore as Scrooge but he had a bad fall and was injured doing another movie and wasn't able to do the part but he suggested Reginald Owen as his replacement and he was great.

As a side note, it gets to me every time I watch the scene where Bob Cratchit brings home the Goose and asks the kids to guess what he has and Tiny Tim (as played by Terry Kilburn) says "Roast'a Beef" hahaha....like he's Italian "Hey, whassa'matta, I gotta the roast'a beef a right here paisan" hahaha
