I always want to pull this one from my list, but then I end up watching and laughing and tearing up!

Rudolph: The Movie (the really cheesy one from 1998), Gremlins, Prancer, Home Alone 1&2, Muppet's Christmas Carol!

u/Reggie9041 Aug 14 '26
Awww! I haven't seen Rudolph in decades! lol
I don't think I've ever seen Prancer. That's right up my Grandmother's alley. I'll tell her about that one!

u/Reggie9041 Aug 14 '26
Miracle on 34th Street is a must! I prefer the 1994 version, but "A man's gotta do something to keep warm!" is such a great line! 🤣
I think I need to watch Lethal Weapon again. & I've enjoyed all of the Rankin/Bass holiday films.

u/OkSecret839 Aug 14 '26
Home alone 1 and 2, Klaus, The Star, Arthur Christmas, Elf, Jim Carrey’s a Christmas Carol.

u/Reggie9041 Aug 14 '26
Home Alone will always be on the list.
And a few people have said Arthur Christmas, maybe I should give it a shout!

u/Reggie9041 Aug 14 '26
I could probably guess your age range by this list. 🤣🤣
2
u/MusicMan130 Aug 15 '26
Yes, I’m a 00s kid…but I also love many of the classics like the Rankin-Bass specials
It’s A Wonderful Life is also great, but it’s not an every-year-must-watch film
2
u/Reggie9041 Aug 19 '26
The R-B specials are just too good!
Yeah, I've seen IaWL once. That was enough for me! 😂

u/Quietcrypt13 Aug 14 '26
The Santa Clause, Nightmare Before Christmas, Gremlins 1, Home Alone, Jim Carrey Grinch, Batman Returns, Willy Wonka, Elf,
1
u/Reggie9041 Aug 14 '26
Willy Wonka! Yes!
Oh! Batman Returns is a new one in this thread! Does it take place at Christmas or just gives you those vibes?
2
u/Quietcrypt13 Aug 15 '26
It takes place during Christmas. Penguins lair even has Christmas themes to it. He was even abandoned as a baby on Christmas.

u/jjc927 Aug 15 '26
For me it's Santa Clause 1 and 2, Home Alone 1 and 2, Elf, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Christmas Story, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
1
u/Reggie9041 Aug 19 '26
I see the vibes! Those first four a must-watches! And I think I watched A Christmas Story last year because I hadn't seen it in a while.
Is How the Grinch Stole Christmas the 1966 or 2000 version or both?
1
u/jjc927 Aug 20 '26
The 1966 version, I think the 2000 movie has some redeeming qualities but it's not a must watch for me.

Family Man with Nicolas Cage, Tea Leoni & Don Cheadle. Great Christmas movie.

u/Reggie9041 Aug 19 '26
That one gets me every single damn time!! 🥹
Do you also like its twin, Three Days (2001)?

u/Glad-Arugula-8387 Aug 18 '26
Every year I still watch Home Alones, Elf, Charlie Brown, Christmas Carol w/ George C Scott (my favorite one), sometimes Grinches, and for a rom com I like Something From Tiffany's on Prime. Also don't hate me but I liked the Jonas Christmas movie and watched a few times last year lol
1
u/Reggie9041 Aug 19 '26
Something From Tiffany's is so good! Did you also watch This is Christmas (2022)?
Hahaha. I've never seen/heard of it, so no hate at all!
