On this post Thanksgiving Day (the "unofficial" start of the holiday season) I thought this might be a good time to start this thread.

What are some of your favorite holiday movies?
I will post three, each from different eras:

Classic: "It's a Wonderful Life"
Mid Classic: "A Christmas Story"
New Classic: "Love Actually"

Miracle on 34th Street, the original. It's actually one of my favorite movies, not just a Christmas classic IMO.

Yeah he needs a cartoon classic. I think its a tie with Rudolph and Year without. Wait no Triple tie. I need to see Rudolph, Year Without and Grinch.

I'm only 23 but old movies are almost always better IMHO


So my vote would either be for White Christmas or It's a Wonderful life. It's a tough decision

But a Christmas Story is right there under those 2

Agreed. It's not Christmas until Kevin foils The Wet Bandits.
