Favorite Christmas Movie that puts you in the mood?

[Mike Ventrella]

What's your favorite Christmas movie that always puts you in a holiday mood? (For instance, there are Christmas movies that take place during Christmas that really aren't "Christmas movies" if you get my drift.)

Another one I like, 8 Crazy Nights with Adam Sandler.

Okay, it may not be a movie but ya gotta give props to A Charlie Brown Christmas. Best christmas music ever came out of that special. I had to vote for Christmas Vacation, though. Don't know if it 'gets me in the mood' so much as 'prepares me mentally to deal with the not-so-fun aspects' of the holiday.

Mike,
I'm sad. NONE of the old claymation christmas movies made the list...

Oh no! I almost forgot about Rudolph, the Little Drummer Boy, The Year Without a Santa Clause...shame. Shame on all of us! :cry:

Well, those were TV specials, not movies. Maybe we should have a separate thread for that!

 

[Gunnar]

If we listed a separate thread, I wouldn't know which to pick because that's a huge list that would include the chuck jones' How the Grinch stole christmas.

Out of this list I chose Scrooged. I actualy don't like xmas. I really don't like xmas actualy. I have my reasons. Back when I was a kid however, I would totaly have to agree with Ali on this one, that the origonal claymation tv specials were how I knew with no question it was xmas time.

I'd go with either It's a Wonderful Life or A Christmas Story.

 

[Wraith]

Santa Claus VS The Martians, MST3K style.

 

[Maxondaerth]

Christmas Vacation definitely. Beverly D'angelo is hawt big time.


Wait, is that not what you meant by "in the mood"?

 

[jpariury]

Love Actually.

 

[Marcena]

None of the above actually. Nothing beats the Yule Log burning on the television at six in the mornin'.

 

[Maxondaerth]

Wrong. Still being asleep at six in the morning has the yule log beat hands down .
