What are your favorite Christmas movies?

Mine are several different versions of A Christmas Carol (though one of them, the 1938 version with Gene Lockhart as Bob Cratchet is inferior for having Scrooge call the cops on the ghost of Jacob Marley I do like it otherwise), A Christmas Story, the original Miracle on 34th Street (am watching it now), It’s a Wonderful Life, The Santa Clause, Home Alone, and Home Alone 2.

When I was a kid I saw Jingle all the way at the theater when it came out. But I did not know it had an end credit scene. I did not find that out til buying the extended version of it on DVD years ago. My girlfriend and I watched the extended version last Saturday and she had not seen it. I mean the movie at all. She is way younger than me.

there is alot like

home alone 1

die hard 1

die hard 2

gremlins 1

its a wonderful life

I like Die Hard 1, Die Hardx2, Lethal Weapon, and Batman Returns but I never watch them at Christmas. I like more family oriented movies at Christmas. Home Alone 1 and 2, unlike those others, do not have the villains get killed.

@Winston1986. Ironically, I did not know about the ending scene myself until I owned the VHS of the theatrical cut of the movie. It was quite a surprise. In 2007, I got a copy of the extended cut on DVD and it is now my preferred cut of the movie.

… The end credit is the funniest part of the movie, it should be in every cut

To be fair, in 1996, end credit scenes weren’t common like they are now. I also did not know about the joke at the end of the credits of Dracula Dead and Loving it til a few years ago.

A Christmas Story (1983)

Scrooged (1988)

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989)

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1992)

It’s a Wonderful Life – timeless, heartfelt, and still hits hard every time.

Miracle on 34th Street (1947) – pure old-school Christmas magic.

White Christmas – music, nostalgia, and comfort all in one.
