I just love holiday movies. In fact, I recently streamed a very funny one called THE SANTA INCIDENT, which stars Ione Skye and Greg Germann (you may remember him from his Ally MacBeal days). The story centers around two kids aiding Santa (and foiling "a pair of overzealous Homeland Security agents") to reconnect with his elves after he was accidentally shot out of the sky when he flew through restricted military airspace. What a HOOT! There's a rather meh love story (because they're pretty much a prerequisite for holiday movies), but the real enjoyment comes from Germann. I recommend it if you like a good chuckle.My twelve favorite Holiday Movies (not in order):
The Family Stone
The Holiday
When Harry Met Sally
Home For The Holidays
Scrooged
Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas
The Christmas List
A Christmas Story
Love Actually
Surviving Christmas
Christmas Vacation
Home Alone
I left out oodles, but these are the ones I tend to go back to again and again (even when it's NOT Christmastime!)
How about you? Do you have a favorite you want to share (or agree on)?

Oh, yeah! I love those, too. I just watched Santa Claus is Comin' to Town again, and I enjoyed it just as much as I did the other many times I watched it when I was a kid. I found myself singing along to the songs, too!

That's one that shows up on a lot of people's lists, but I haven't watched it (yet). It didn't seem like my cup of tea, but so many love it, I think I'm going to have to stream it this year. Thanks for the idea!

DeleteI love all the kiddie specials, especially Rudolph.
ReplyDeletekesummer69(at)gmail(dot)com
Me too! They make me feel very nostalgic.
DeleteI love While You Were Sleeping. It takes place around Christmas and I find myself watching it every year. I just think it's a cute movie and I love Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman.
ReplyDeleteJYL22075 at gmail dot com
YES!! I forgot about that one--and Sandra Bullock is one of my all time faves (so is Bill Pullman, too!)
DeleteWhite Christmas - because I love musicals
ReplyDeletePolar Express - because I love the idea that Santa could be real.
I love musicals, too, and that is a good one for the season.

I love Jim Henson, too! I love all things Muppet, LOL! Great choice.
DeleteI love a ridiculous movie from the mid-1990s called Mixed Nuts. It's a funny movie and I probably like it more because of things that were going on with me around the release, I still will watch it every time I see it on.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I think that was the first movie I ever saw Adam Sandler in. (I only knew him from SNL). It's got a great cast.
DeleteNational Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is my all time favorite movie.. but I absolutely LOVE watching all the Christmas cartoons.. They are a must watch in this house. Can't do Christmas without Rudolph, Frosty, Charlie Brown, Jack Frost and Santa Claus!
ReplyDeletecms72023 at gmail dot com
Yep, it's a classic. I love all the children's Christmas specials from my childhood, too!!
DeleteMy favorite holiday movie is Scrooged with Bill Murray! I love this movie because it's hilarious and I laugh out loud every time I see it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!

It's got such a sweet romance in it, too. Plus I LOVE LOVE LOVE the scene where they can't get the antlers on the mouse, so he tells them to staple them on. WHAT A SCROOGE, lol!!
DeleteLove Actually and Home Alone are my favorites. I can watch them over and over again
