With the autum coming to end and winter winds blowing in, it means Christmas is just around the corner. So in the festive spirit, what are your fave Christmas movies to cosy on down to?
I love a Christmas scare and some festive action films. Every year I watch a Christmas film every day (sometimes more than one) from the 1st to the 26th of December. Always something new and a few that are ones I watch every year.
my traditional ones include:
Die Hard (yes it is a Christmas movie)
Black Christmas 1974
Gremlins
Arthur Christmas
The Christmas Chronicles
It’s a Wonderful Life
Better Watch Out
Krampus
Violent Night
Fatman
Home Alone
Silent Night, Bloody Night

also I’m looking forward to a new Christmas horror coming soon called It’s a Wonderful Knife. A horror version of the James Stewart film. After saving her town from a psychotic killer, Winnie Carruthers' life is less than wonderful. When she wishes she'd never been born, she finds herself in a nightmare parallel universe where without her, things could be much, much worse.

The best holiday film is Christmas Evil. I am looking forward to Eli Roth's Thanksgiving.

 I haven't really watched many Christmas things lately, but I do watch the scene with the "Scrooge" song from Muppet Christmas Carol every year on YouTube. Which reminds me, its about time to watch it again!

Well fans of Die Hard might recognize my avatar.  I'm DEFINITELY excited to watch that Christmas movie soon!

 

We do watch a lot of the ones mentioned here--Christmas Vacation, Elf, It's a Wonderful Life. I traditionally watch the He-Man & She-Ra Christmas Special while we put up the tree.

 

A couple that I haven't seen mentioned here are the very cheesy yet nostalgic A Very Brady Christmas.  And my wife and I watch The Holiday each year as a date night movie.  

 

As for Thanksgiving films...I remember seeing the original Eli Roth Thanksgiving trailer in the Death Proof/Planet Terror showing so I'm down to check that out.  I also always watch Prisoners.  Not a feel good holiday film but it does take place during Thanksgiving and I absolutely love it.

 

Enjoy the viewings, everyone!

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Christmas with the Kranks (yes, terrible reviews, but something about the cast just works for me)

I also fondly remember "Santa Claus: The movie" - with Dudley Moore from 1985. Haven't watched in a few years, but this thread reminded me to put it on the list 😉

And finally, The Santa Clause, with Tim Allen.

@adam_prince-of-eternia just watched Thanksgiving. It was standard slasher fare. Nothing special or stand out. Practical effects were pretty good. It was let down a bit by some poor dialogue/acting and bad cgi. Overall it wasn’t a disappointment and delivered plenty of thanksgiving gore and I really enjoyed the whole Black Friday/Thanksgiving idea.

I am going to see it with my family next Thursday.

What blasts from the past. I believe I watched both of these but I honestly don't remember much about them. Do you both remember Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol? I surprisingly found that on DVD in a discount bin and am looking forward to watching it after all these years. 😀

The Muppet Christmas Carol is one I'll watch more than once a year, also MST3K's Santa conquers the martians and their Santa Claus, the Mexican film where a devil gives Santa grief.
