Fellow Narnians,
it is once again time to break out those DVDs (VHS tapes even, if any of you have kept that link to the past like I have), or simply tune in, because 'tis the season for Christmas movies!
We all have our favorites. That movie that simply must be watched when the time rolls around. Maybe there are some that you can't stand Either way, this is the place to talk about them. On Christmas day I'll post a piece of trivia and/or music (or other fun thing) about whichever movie gets the most love
My favorite? Well that would be the classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer! It has such a special feel to it. There are a few that are close, but I'll save those for as the days go on
Thank you to those who allowed me the privilege of opening this thread, and as we get ready for a very joyous time of year, the very best to all!

AROOOOOOO!!!
Given time I have quite a slate full of Christmas movies I keep on my shelves at the ready for December viewing.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Elf, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, Die Hard (YES, it's a Christmas film! An action-packed Christmas film! ), Home Alone (the only Christmas film I've watched this year so far... ), and my personal favorite It's a Wonderful Life. That's probably going to be saved for last because it's my favorite.

I watched The Christmas Candle (2013) on DVD two weeks ago. Read my review in the link below. I recommend Christmas Oranges (2012) and Silent Night (2012) instead. I watched all three films after writing the blog post above.

I used to watch a lot of Christmas cartoons but I gave up on TV. Now I stick with news, weather, sports, and the occasional film. I still like Rudolph, the Grinch (cartoon), Frosty, and Peanuts.
The movie "Shop around the Corner" is on of my Christmas favorites. It's a lesser known Jimmy Stewart movie that takes place in Hungary. The story focuses on the employes of a small department-store type shop.
and my personal favorite It's a Wonderful Life. That's probably going to be saved for last because it's my favorite.
That's my parents' favorite, but it gets so sad! I do love the beginning and the end, just not the middle.
Die Hard (YES, it's a Christmas film! An action-packed Christmas film! )
Ahaha, I was hoping someone would bring that up!

Haha, done! LWW needs to be on any Christmas viewing list.

I've heard of that one! Must add it to my watch list.
Great choices if I do say so myself. As was every movie you guys mentioned. So many movies, so little time right? I know I only got to watch a couple on my list this year. But hey, that's what the rest of the twelve days of Christmas are for, right?
Well I am a bit tardy, but it seems like It's a Wonderful Life and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer were tied for most mentions! I must say, I approve Well as promised, things you may not know about both (but you probably do )
The first episode of the famous Batman: The Animated Series, takes place on Christmas Eve. In this episode (which also originated the famous "Jingle Bells, Batman smells..." ) Robin repeatedly tries to get Batman to sit down and watch It's a Wonderful Life with him.
On to Rudolph! For one, as many of you might know, the famous song about the titular character predates the movie by 25 years. Also if you take a close look, the Roman Numeric copyright date in the opening credits reads MCLXIV (1164) instead of MCMLXIV (1964). Go take a look!
