It actually wasn't easy to narrow down my list. There are a lot of them that I enjoy watching. Some I would never. haha.
And since Jojo already mentioned How the Grinch Stole Christmas, I will bypass that for another favorite. ;-)
1.
Miracle on 34th Street. The original. In Black and White. With Edmund Gwenn and Maureen O'Hara.
2.
It's a Wonderful Life, with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.
If I don't see anything else at Christmas time, I watch these two. I even record them and watch them more than once...
3.
A Charlie Brown Christmas. I love the speech that Linus gives about what Christmas is.
4. This is a tie. Normally I prefer the original of a show, but I have to admit to liking one remake more than the others. So first:
Scrooge.
The original B&W version with Alastair Sim.
And second:
A Christmas Carol, with Patrick Stewart.
And not last, but not really last.
5.
Rudolph, the red-nosed Reindeer.
The original, sung and narrated by Burl Ives. Anything else, to me, is just not right.
I could probably have done 10 or more, but I think I'll leave it at 5.
Thanks for sharing your 5, Jojo; and inspiring me to share mine. :-)
Happy Sunday to you all. ♥
how could I have forgotten Miracle and Rudolph! I could have made a much longer list too, just seems like there are a lot of oldies to choose from. Am I the only person alive that doesn't like It's a Wonderful Life? I think it's boring...I know.
ReplyDeleteAw, Jojo. There are so many wonderful Christmas shows. I don't think you have to like them all. I know I don't.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Monday. :-)
I love all of these as well, but I do own the Jimmy Stewart movie --- my mother always said that he was her "boyfriend!" haha

Not really a movie, but I always loved watching the Walton's Christmas story when I was much younger. :)
ReplyDeleteLana, Haha. My mom used to do that, too. :)
ReplyDeleteNancy, that one needs to be a Christmas special because it is a good one. :)
have you seen the new A Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey? Now that's a little spooky, especially in 3-D.
ReplyDeleteThose are all great movie choices though!
Nicole, I have not. Not a big fan of Jim Carrey, haha.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading! :)
It might be A Wonderful Life but, it's a crappy movie. imho.
ReplyDeleteI do like The Bishops' Wife with Cary Grant, David Niven and Loretta Young, though.
I think I remember seeing that one once, Mike.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Those are all my favorites too! I just watched Charlie brown tonight!
ReplyDeleteRudolph and Charlie Brown Christmas are the best of those!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melodie!
ReplyDeleteGood to see you around, Chris!
Our home's beloved animated holiday film is "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" with the character of "Burgermeister Meisterburger". The songs are dance worthy and we just *love* the story. :-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe you're feeling the holiday spirit a bit more now after listing your holiday faves, Linda?
We finally got our tree up last night and, finally, I feel a bit of holiday happiness - just looking at all the pretty twinkling lights.
:-)
Oh girl, it wouldn't take much for me to become a Christmas Movie addict. I love 'em with a passion!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat lists sweetie!
Have a blessed and beautiful day...'every one!!!' :o)
Thank you, Nezzy. Hope you're all doing well! :-)
ReplyDeleteyou've mentioned all my favs! Merry, Merry and HO, HO, HO! Hope your trip turns out to be delightful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dmarie. And thank you for visiting! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your choices! Sometimes I feel like I belong in the land of misfit toys. haha.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, Thomas, I know what you mean. :-)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
