Does anyone know of any good christmas movies to rent and watch? +++++++++++ 12-03-03, 11:46 AM gojenni714 If you like old classics, my favorite is the Bishop's Wife with David Niven, Cary Grant and Loretta young. My very favorite Christmas movie!
Oh, I remember one awhile back with Dudley Moore. What was that......Santa ClausSanta Claus. That was a cute show.
There's a few to start with kitty. Enjoy.

I would also recommed Home Alone. The movie about the kid Kevin,played by Macaulay Culkin, who gets into a fight with his parents and ends up being left behind while the rest of his family flies to Paris. It is hilarious! And cute too. Of course the sequel, Home Alone2: Lost in NewYork is very good also.
I remember another one I used to watch every year from 1983. It was calledThe Best Christmas Pagent Ever. But I believe that one has been discontinued. It was about these children putting on a pagent about the real true meaning of Christmas. I loved watching that one. The movie may have been discontinued but they do have a book, which was before he movie btw.
And, as Jenni already recommended, I recommed too, White Christmas(my favorite Christmas movie. A very good musical) & Christmas Vacation(love that movie. It is hilarious!!!)
Miracle on 34th Street & It's a Wonderful Life are good too but I myself am kinda tired of them. Especially after AMC's 'the 24 hours of Miracle on 34th Street' last year. But still. If you have never seen them then like Jenni, I 'd recommend them too.
I remember watching Santa Claus with Dudley Moore every year as a child. Thanks for the rememberance, Jenni

Also, how about the 1972 movie, "The House Without a Christmas Tree" about a young girl who lives with cantankerous dad (Jason Robards) and all she wants is a Christmas tree but he won't allow it.
Also, Dolly Parton is in a cute TV movie and if it ever comes on try to catch it. It's called "Unlikely Angel"
Finally, I simply adore "Holiday Affair". The original is a 1949 classic but it was remade in 1996 with Cynthia Gibb and it's line for line pretty much the same as the original. And the more recent one has been on tv but if you missed it you can always rent the original.
12-03-03, 01:17 PM samantha Thanks guys! are these all out on video to rent? Smile
12-03-03, 01:25 PM Georgia85 With the exception of "Unlikely Angel" all the ones that everyone has mentioned are available at most video stores Smile
12-03-03, 01:28 PM gojenni714 I just realized I called you kitty! I am sooooo sorry sammy. Musta been a brain fart! Big Grin Sorry!!!!
And yes, they should all be out to rent. Most of them are all fairly older shows. I guess I depends on the video store you shop from. Mine is terrible! All they have is new releases! Their classics section is like 5 videos. Roll Eyes It's ridiculous!
12-03-03, 06:56 PM Texan-In-Exile I always watch A Christmas Story - and it's always hilarious! Big Grin If you get into a cynical mood, Scrooged is the one to watch! (I love the Sugar Plum Fairy! Big Grin ) And one I haven't seen in 25 years is A Pocketful of Miracles...
12-03-03, 08:37 PM Kelleygirl As far as new Christmas movies, looks like there are 2 this year --- "Elf" is getting good reviews. I've gotta see "Bad Santa" but have been warned not to take the kids to see it with me.
12-04-03, 10:59 PM samantha Thanks guys..im going to rent some of these to watch and I may see the new one too.. Big Grin

12-28-03, 08:07 PM megan_09 There is one christmas movie that I cant remember the name of...
It has like a Skaliton (I know thats not spelled right) and a whole bunch of weird looking toys...and the Skaliton tries to be santa and the towns people shot him down...There is like a doll with no arms or something like that...
Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about????
12-28-03, 08:28 PM Sherasi "Nightmare before Christmas" I think is its name.
It was about these children putting on a pagent about the real true meaning of Christmas. I loved watching that one. The movie may have been discontinued but they do have a book, which was before he movie btw.
Thanks for the rememberance, Jenni
