My favorite all-time Christmas show--"Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" with the nearsighted one as Scrooge. Hasn't been on TV in many years. With Tiny Tim singing about "Razzleberry dressing".

"Ah, Magoo, you've done it again, you've brought down the house" as the entire stage set collapses around him after he trips over a rope.

Gotta go w/ "Its a Wonderful Life" just a great movie...big Jimmy Stewart fan

"How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is my favorite animated one.

"Elf" is a great movie to see if you haven't yet




Badder Santa is a Riot though "Boy, Thats some mouth you got on you midget"

Great BF, I don't know you but that exposes a lot about you. Its a Wonderful Life is one of THE greatest films ever. I truly think you can ditch all the religions and pholosphies of the world and follow the lessons in this movie. Its funny, sad and inspiring.
I watch this film several times a year, whenever I feel down on the world. We never realize the impact we have on those around us and the power of the individual. I think this movie gets "trivialized" because it is played so many times. I am suprised at how many people have NOT seen this movie. I had a high school teacher make us watch this when I was 16 and it has influenced my life. The scene when George comes home after Uncle Billy loses the $, his family is decorating the tree and he is in the process of losing it is one of the most intense scenes I have seen. The acting and directing is superb. Heres a guy who spent his entire life helping others and now is on the verge of getting screwed. His family watches him crack. I'm getting all teary eyed so I'm going to stop, too embarssing at work.

I agree RIJimmy, I believe its one of the finest pieces of celluloid of all time! Great, great lesson to be learned from that movie if your sharp enough and you "get it"!;)

I'm a fan of Mr. #^&#^&#^&#^&ens, so it would have to be A Christmas Carol, only the one from the 50's with Alastair Sim as Scrooge. Although A Christmas Story is right up there, especially the waiters' rendition of Deck the Halls.

A Christmas Story. I first saw this in July in the mid to late 80s. HBO had it on at 0 dark 30 and I had to wait about a month for it to come on during the early evening so the wife could see it.

"I think it says fragile."

Christmas Vacation is an annual favorite.
