The latest holiday movie I watched was Elf... and this was a few weeks ago, actually.

I haven't yet saw anything playing on TV that caught my eye (granted that I don't watch TV too much anymore) and I don't have any holiday-themed DVDs (plus my VHS player's broken--drat! I really wanted to watch my VHS copy of The Nightmare Before Christmas...) so... ;)

Afterthought: O wait, wait! I did watch the Christmas episode of "Family Guy" a week or two ago. I love, love, love that episode to bits and pieces.
Wherever. Whatever. Have a nice day.

Well it's got holiday elements so I guess it counts. At the moment I'm watching 'Rabid'. It's a David Cronenberg directed movie from 1977 and it's set around Christmas. A poor mall Santa just got shot up. I wonder how many kids were traumatized that year? haha. :roll:

They were playing A Muppet Christmas Carol on the Disney channel last night so I watched it. I love this film! Disney really needs to release it in its original aspect ratio (in this case, widescreen). |:<
Wherever. Whatever. Have a nice day.

I watched the end of The Muppet Christmas Carol last weekend. I don't actually watch that many Christmas movies really. Don't wack me, but I've never seen It's a Wonderful Life. :oops:

Haha! I just saw that for the first time today. It's hilarious . . . and it even includes "KISS save Santa" ("everyone knows that pterodactyls can't stand the screech of an electric guitar!") :lol:

Besides that . . . Elf, that Alvin and the Chipmunks one where Alvin is basically Scrooge, and the Simpson's christmas episode (where he buys the astrolabe, or whatever it is).

With my Christmas marathon tonight I've seen almost all of my Christmas must-sees...

Sadly Charlie Brown Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (original animated) never got a viewing this year and won't since I'm leaving for a couple days soon. :(

I won't list 'em all but the ones I viewed tonight in the order I saw them were:

Santa Claus is Coming to Town - It was the first time I saw it in a decade! It's not on my must-see list but since I now have The Original Television Classics Christmas Collection I can see it every year!

The Little Drummer Boy - Another one that isn't a must-see every year but I saw it this year for the first time in about five years.

Frosty the Snowman - This is my faovurite Christmas special (not counting movies) and I have never missed it. I've been watching it for as long as I can remember. Now I have it on DVD though.

Frosty Returns - Not as good as the original but I sure still enjoy it. I saw it's first broadcast and have watched it every year since. :)

A Garfield Christmas - Another one of my faovuites that's a must-see. This probably comes in second for specials, tied with Rudolph.

A Christmas Story - This is my all-time favourite Christmas movie I have to see every year. Actually it's one of my all-time favourite movies. Sadly I only have the original pan and scan DVD which I bought just before the special edition came out! AUGH! I will be replacing it this Boxing Day however.

Mickey's Christmas Carol - I just finished watching it. I loved it. It's one of my must-sees but sadly I haved missed it various years like Charlie Brown and Grinch. :( Now I'll never miss it since I have it on my Treasures. :)

Well that was tonight's fest. Earlier I saw my other must-sees like Christmas Vacation, Rudolph and others. Those I got to see early. :)
I even saw Christmas Vacation 2 this year since I missed it's premiere last year. I'll be okay if I miss that one next Christmas. :lol:

Well I've been using the Disney/Non-Disney threads for Holiday movies, so I'll use this one for non-movies. So far I've seen Christmas/Holiday episodes of Boy Meets World (2), The Simpsons (2), Step By Step (1), According To Jim (1), Even Stevens (1)... that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Also, I've been enjoying my 3 DVDs worth of Amy Grant's Christmastime television appearances as well as her "Grown-Up Christmas List" video, with and without commentary, on the GV DVD.

Hi

Post by Disney Guru »

I recently watched The Yearling, with Jane Wyman and Gregory Peck. I know it isn't an Easter Film. But my whole family always considered it an Easter Classic for some odd reason.
