Christmas time is just around the corner, and I've caved and begun celebrating just a little early this year... I may love Christmas a little too much (just kidding- that's impossible!). I'd like to know all of your favorite Christmas movies and specials, so I thought it would be fun for everyone to post which ones they own on DVD (and then you can post some of your favorites that you don't own but would like to as well if you'd like). I've been trying to build up that part of my collection lately.

My Christmas DVD Collection
It's A Wonderful Life
The Santa Clause (pan & scan )
The Santa Clause 2

Holiday episodes of Boy Meets World, Friends, and The Simpsons
Recent Amy Grant Christmas appearances on DVD (from the fan club)

I'd really like to get the SE of Beauty & The Beast: An Enchanted Christmas. I want The Muppet Christmas Carol, too, but am holding off for now in hopes of a rerelease in the near future (the same goes for all the older Muppet films). I really wish they'd put Smoky Mountain Christmas and the original Life & Adventures of Santa Claus on DVD! There are plenty more that I want but those are the ones at the top of my list and on the top of my mind.

-Aaron

I'll just list my favorite Christmas films... the titles in bold are the ones I have on DVD (or in Elf's case, will own as soon as it comes out! ).

~It's A Wonderful Life (VHS) (Although there's little to do with Christmas in this entire film... ah well!)
~Annabelle's Wish
~Frosty the Snowman
~A Charlie Brown Christmas
~Miracle on 34th Street (the '94 remake - Richard Attenborough makes such a kewt Santa! )
~National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (VHS)
~The Garfield Christmas Special
~Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
~How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the original Chuck Jones film, thankyouverymuch...)
~Elf
~The Muppet Christmas Carol (I'd love to get this one on DVD, but the pan-and-scan puts me off... )


Mickey's Christmas Carol is also a nice film with that "classic" Disney feel. Call me nuts, but The Enchanted Christmas (VHS) is kinda sorta okay. Not a yearly staple, but hey. When I caught Robbie the Reindeer on CBS, I thought it was pretty good - I'd much prefer the original British voices, though.

ummm, that is a Groundhog's Day DVD

Most of my Christmas stuff is still on video, but I'm hoping to buy a few this year (namely Charlie Brown Christmas and the hard to find Claymation Christmas).

Escapay

The only X-mas DVD I have is "White Christmas", but on VHS I have
Small One,
Mickey's X-mas Carol
Claymation X-mas


What I would love to get is my old time favorite from the old Disney program, "From All of Us, To all of You."

Nonsense! It just incorporates Groundhog's Day into the beginning. It's a winter movie more than anything, I suppose, but I grew up watching it along with all the other Rankin/Bass specials, so I guess that makes it as Christmasy as anything.

I Have...

Spongebob Squarepants: Christmas
A Christmas Carol
A Very Merrry Muppett Christmas Movie
Charlie Brown Christmas/It's Christmas Time Again Charlie Brown
Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Animated original)

And various episodes on TV shows ('Thank Heaven for Little Girls, And Big Ones Too' on Magnum P.I.; X-Files Christmas episodes 'Christmas Carol'; 'How the Ghosts Stole Christmas' etc; Buffy - Amends, which is a really beautiful episode)

- Blackadder's Christmas Carol - pure brilliance
- League of Gentlemen: Christmas Special - even more brilliant

Oh yes, well I'll have to add "Die Hard" and "Gremlins" to my list too, I suppose.

Yes, I suppose I can add Batman Returns to mine as well, then.

-Aaron

I cant believe how many people dont own the Rankin Bass stuff. Cant list most of my collection because it went into storage last week.

I haven't got that many Christmas themed DVDs in my collection

Countdown To Christmas (Disney cartoon compilation)
Winter Wonderland (Disney cartoon compilation)
How The Grinch Stole Christmas (The original)
Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas

I'll be adding to that the Robbie The Reindeer twin pack soon.

Only one: George Balachine's "The Nutcracker"

However, I want to get The Nutcracker Prince, I haven't seen that movie in AGES since I was a kid.

I don't think I have that many, but it may be more than I think as I start to list them...

A Christmas Story (the old P&S.. need to get the new SE)
It's a Wonderful Life
Miracle on 34th Street (the old one)
White Christmas (best Irving Berlin musical ever!!)
Holiday Inn (more great Irving Berlin music)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Mickey's Christmas Carol (on the Treasures of course)

Geez, for someone who LOVES Christmas like I do, you would think I would have more. Hrmmm...

I have several. There are still a few I have on VHS that I need to replace with DVD (like It's a Wonderful Life).

A Charlie Brown Christmas
