CanAm Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 One Special Night This is an amazing movie. The chemistry between Julie Andrews and James Garner is wonderful. It's one of those unheralded little movie gems. A Charlie Brown Christmas This speech by Linus about the meaning of Christmas, never fails to bring a tear to my eyes. My two favourite Christmsas movies (White Christmas and the Alistair Sim version of A Chrismas Carol) were already nominated. However, I also love these two.

MindCrime Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 "A Christmas Carol" (1951) (Starring Alastair Sim...only the greatest of all the Scrooges!) I can't believe no one nominated it yet! ...Or did they? I was going to nominate that movie, but I'm still waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Albert Finney was a good Scrooge too, but the 1951 version is most true to the Dickens story and Sim really carved the definitive Scrooge from which the others borrowed.

TheLizard Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Have you seen the Muppets version? It's definitely the most true to Dickens, while still being the most hilarious. Moral of the story: Muppets make everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Have you seen the Muppets version? It's definitely the most true to Dickens, while still being the most hilarious. Moral of the story: Muppets make everything better. I watched it a couple of nights ago, and seriously thought about changing my nomination. I love it, and Muppets definately made my evening better.

It's a movie about trying to get home for Thanksgiving. I guess I messed that one up, but it's for Holiday Season Movies, which Thanksgiving is connected to.

Nightmare Before Christmas Though I love the movie a lot, never felt It's A Wonderful Life belongs in the Christmas movie genre - even though there is conveniently a Christmas tree at the end. But George could have tried to commit suicide in summer for that matter and the remainder would have played out the same, whereas the rest of the nominations needed holidays to work.

Carl Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 1) Elf 2) A Christmas Story 3) Christmas Vacation 4) How the Grinch Stole Christmas 5) A Charlie Brown Christmas 6) Miracle On 34th Street 7) Trading Places 8) It's A Wonderful Life 9) Plains, Trains, & Automobiles 10) Scrooged I think Elf was pretty much the perfect modern Christmas movie. Will Ferrell's best work, with a cast of very funny people being very funny. Bob Newhart, Amy Sedaris, the guy from Tenacious D, the little person who shows up all over the place, James Caan, Ed Asner, Andy Richter and Howard Stern cast member Artie Lange all show up and are somehow perfect in their roles. If they were to make a sequel, it would be the Christmas equivalent of Oceans 12, but I think they have the sense to leave it alone. The Zooey/Redbone version of Baby, It's Cold Outside has become the one we hear on most Christmas playlists, which shows the heart and soul that went into the film, along with the excellent decision not only to cast Zooey Deschanel as the girl, but to let her sing.
