Home Alone

Description

I'm not sure if it's even legal not to have seen Home Alone at this point. It's farcical and funny and a classic Christmas fantasy for every kid of being left home alone.

Another animation movie - classic, old school animation - paired with the greatest children's book writer ever. Oh, Boris Karloff - read your Christmas cheer to me...

Description

OK, OK, so I'm a sucker for great kid fantacies.... wellllll, here's an often overlooked one that just fits that Christmas kid in all of us. Animation? Ususally, I can leave that. But its amazing what can be done with some computers and graphic knowhow. I saw it in the IMAX/3D (yup, classes and all) version. The 4 year old I was with would oooh and ahhh and reach for different objects apparently floating by. In any event, I bit big time at the box office and now this is one of my favs. Take me up on it, your inner kid will be as happy as if you'd had a popcicle.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

First to recommend

7 people recommended this item

Description

The first time I saw this movie I laughed till I cried. For anyone tight on cash, cursed with psychotic relatives, desperate for a perfect holiday, and fed up with their boss, Christmas Vacation is the cheapest therapy you'll get all season.

A Christmas Carol (1938)

First to recommend

Description

We love to watch this 1938 version of A Christmas Carol because it's classic 1930's-style acting...it's so over the top, but so innocent and heart-wearming. You just have to love Dickon's classic Christmas story - and there's just something about the grainy black and white that makes it that much more special.

A Christmas Carol (1984)

First to recommend

Description

Hands down George C. Scott plays the best Scrooge ever, and as far as production value, I think this 1984 version is wonderful.

Greatest. Christmas movie. Ever. You'd have to be a cold, cold lump of coal not to love this American classic. I weep openly every time I see it...it always makes me look at the world through rose colored glasses again.
