The best christmas movie?
« on: December 20, 2007, 02:54:56 PM »
I've been looking around the boards lately and there arn't too many festive themed posts so I thought it would be nice to talk about christmas movies. Now I know most of them are total cr@pola but there are some wicked ones.

For me the best christmas movie has to be Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas!

I love everything about this movie, the music the animation, the theme, just so weird and wonderful.

Not checked the tv guide but I hope theyre showing it, as it aint christmas for me without this being on TV!

Nice to see a Festive topic.

It's a tough choice but I would have to go for ... It's a Wonderful Life.

It's an absolute classic and pushes all the right Christmas buttons for me.

Jingle all the way. Arnuld kicking loads of Santas in the crotch and battling against his neighbour, the guy who voices Troy Mcclure. Inspired film-making.

Comon people you know the best christmas movie ever is Scrooged with Bill Murray...heart warming at the end, but a comedy classic

It has to be 'It's a Wonderful Life'............
'Scrooged' a close second
'Santa Claus The Movie' in third, simply becasue of Dudley Moore, and John Lithgow doing his insane bad guy bit that he does so well (see Cliffhanger! :wink: )

I think you probably are.  :D

I also like the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol (with Alistair Sim as Scrooge).

And Black Christmas.

Tim Burton's Nightmare....... is great. So is The Grynch and of course both Muppets X-mas movies. And let's not forget Gremlins!
