The 6 Best Christmas Movies

December 20, 2009

I've been around the house a lot for the last 4 weekends; busy with all my bake sale baking, and Christmas stuff. I like to have movies on in the background when I'm home, and these are my Christmas favorites that I've been watching over and over and over.

Elf

  • It's a Wonderful Life
  • Elf
  • National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
  • A Christmas Story
  • Planes, Trains and Automobiles
  • The Santa Clause

I've also been watching “Dirty Dancing” and “Liar Liar”, just cause they make me happy, not because they're Christmasy.

So, did I miss any of your favorite must-watch Christmas movies?

    Funny that ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ was made so long, and it’s still #1 on so many of our favorite lists!

    I confess Hubby and I still love the classics from when we were kids! In fact Friday night we sat by the fire had hot chocolate and watched: Rudolf, Frosty and Santa Claus is coming to town!

    I love Rudolph and Charlie Brown too, Cathy. I need to buy those on DVD!

    I find myself watching either Love Actually or The Holiday almost nightly – but I do love It’s a Wonderful Life, Elf, Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation too!

    Have a Merry Christmas!

    Hey, Bo! I’ve seen Love Actually once, but never the Holiday. I need to check it out!

    Have a Merry Christmas!

    Definitely ditto to Love Actually! And this may be the effect of 3 brothers, but Die Hard is also a great holiday flick πŸ™‚ It laid the foundation for how I pictured office Christmas parties growing up…

    Hey, SAA! I KNOW you love Love Actually; in fact, you’re the first person to ever mention it to me. It’s a good one! Die Hard is a little more unconventional, but I can understand it knowing you have 3 brothers!

    Christmas in Connecticut [the Barbara Stanwyck version] is my absolute favorite Christmas movie – I highly recommend it! Also, Holiday Inn is pretty cute…I’m a sucker for old movies πŸ™‚

    Hi Megan! I’ve never even heard of Christmas in Connecticut! I wish I had time to run out to the video store and pick it up. Maybe next year. Thanks for the suggestions!

    Yep, we watched it again on Christmas Eve. It’s still as funny as it was the first time we watched it!
