I thought this would be a fun thread to find out what everyone's favorite Holiday movie is.
I have a few favorites which include
Miracle on 34th Street
White Christmas
A Christmas Carol - w/ Alistair Sims as Strooge
I also like these in the original classic verison of Black and White I hate the way they colorized a lot of the old movies...
So what's yours?
What is your Favorite Holiday Movie

Can we add cartoons, or those half hour televison shows?
how i know its the holiday season is only by the ringing sound of "you'll shoot your eye out kid" coming from the living room of my parents house...i guess that would make my favorite "A Christmas Story"...not very classic, but modern classic i guess you could say.

I'd have to go with Rockhound. Not really classics in the normal sense of Christmas classics but definately 'A Christmas Story'........"the glow of electric sex gleaming in the window" and probably my second favorite 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'........."I never get what I really want for Christmas,.........Realestate!"

My personal favorite is Dr. Seuss' Grinch (the original, NOT that Jim Carrey abomination).
