November 24, 2009 at 11:00 amWhenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion love actually is all around. Love Actually (2003)

November 24, 2009 at 11:32 amElf is your favorite holiday movie?!?
don’t get me wrong, i think Will Ferrell is funny and Zooey Deschanel is hot. and overall, it’s not a bad movie.
but it’s certainly not a holiday classic (despite my family’s annual attempt to make it so.) and it shouldn’t be anyone’s favorite movie. holiday or otherwise.
well that’s my opinion anyway.
November 24, 2009 at 11:39 amchad, your opinion is spot on.
November 24, 2009 at 11:42 amelf is good up until it gets all new yorky. the first 20 minutes are amazing though.
November 24, 2009 at 11:45 amToo many to list. Scrooged is pretty damned good (that’s the one with Bill Murray, right?)
A Smoky Mountain Christmas (Dolly Parton)
The old old old version of A Christmas Carol
Miracle on 34th Street
The Year Without a Santa Claus
Rudolph the Red Nosed Raindeer
It’s a Wonderful Life
Home Alone (which is also Chad’s nightmare scenario)
I’m impossible to date during Christmas because I insist on seeing all of these when they come on the teevee (renting doesn’t count).
November 24, 2009 at 11:47 amSo many comments and no mention of A Christmas Story? Blasphemy.
November 24, 2009 at 11:54 amMy favorite holiday movie has to be “A Christmas Story”! When TNT starts running the 24hr marathon on Christmas Eve, I never turn the channel. Granted, I’m not watching it straight through, but it stays on from 8pm 12/24 thru 8pm on 12/25 :) The humor warms my heart, the childhood pursuit of what you feel is the perfect toy ever invented, and the joy the parents feel when they give Ralphie his gun…it’s such a great movie. And…of course, some of the most quotable dialogue in movie history…”FRA-GIL-E! Ah, it must be Italian!” Classic! lol
November 24, 2009 at 11:56 amHome Alone may be my nightmare scenario, but it’s also my third favorite christmas movie. after Die Hard and Gremlins. (Die Hard 2 is number 5)
November 24, 2009 at 11:57 amoh, and btw, i’m gonna be outta town for this Zero 7 (whatever that is) show so don’t bother putting me in for the tickets.
thanks.
November 24, 2009 at 12:05 pmre: A Christmas Story. I recently went camping in Gettysburg and promptly went to a Wal-Mart and promptly purchased a Daisy Red-Rider lever-action bb gun and 5,000 bbs.
I did not shoot anyone’s eye out but I did lend it to a friend to shoot someone in the foot.

November 24, 2009 at 12:11 pmHome Alone is the greatest, and it teaches us valuable lessons of how to painfully prank and evade robbers while still getting into the Christmas spirit. And Love Actually, cause I’m a sucker for the sap!
November 24, 2009 at 12:20 pmMichael, shut the fuck up.
That would be “A Christmas Carol’ by Dickens.
November 24, 2009 at 12:26 pmIt has to be Bad(der) Santa for me. Classic!

the old shit
:P
why it was on during thanksgiving i’ll never know.
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer/ Santa Claus is Coming to Town”….The “Claymation” versions. Yes, when I was a child we didn’t have any of this CGI stuff, our animation was made of clay.
