I know the Horror Movie Challenge just started, but when checking for last year's thread, I did post the discussion thread on October 7th, this is a few days early but I really wanted to start it now.

The 4th Annual Holiday Movie Challenge

2007 Lists Thread (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-talk/517498-3rd-annual-holiday-movie-challenge-lists-go-here.html)

OFFICIAL RULES

-Movies, TV shows/specials, Short Films & Cartoons Count

-The movie or TV show DOES NOT need to be holiday oriented. It could simply take place during the holiday season (i.e. Batman Returns, Gremlins, Die Hard, etc.)

-Although the movie doesn't have to take place during the holiday season, a MAJORITY of the film HAS to take place during the holiday season. No movies with just one scene during the holiday season. If you're not sure, ASK!

-Any holiday from Thanksgiving through New Years Day may count

-A film can only be viewed once, UNLESS you watch it and then watched it again with a commentary

-This year there won't be a goal, but instead a personal goal. Whatever you want your goal to be go for it. For returning participants maybe your goal should be to beat a previous year's goal.

-A new addition to this year's challenge, as suggested by bluelitespecial is a THREE Wild Card Option. This is here to include movies you might watch as a tradition during the holidays. My family used to watch Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory every Thanksgiving. So ANY movie is allowed, up to THREE. Thanks bluelitespecial

-PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE number your lists!

It doesn't matter how you see the film, VHS, DVD, Laserdisc, Theatrical release, it will be counted. Just have fun.

This year the challenge has been extended by 1 day to include all of New Years Day.

List thread is now up here (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-talk/544100-4th-annual-holiday-movie-challenge-lists-go-here.html#post9083213)

Sure, I'll toss my hat in for this one. I don't think I participated last year, but my gf and I have been planning to watch a lot of Christmas movies in Dec, so I'll have some fun with it while I'm at it.

I thought of a new category for the checklist: Watch a Christmas Movie that takes place during a war or has a war scene. There are a surprising number of them, off the top of my head I can think of A MIDNIGHT CLEAR, JOYEAUX NOEL, and even WHITE CHRISTMAS.

Also, how do participants feel about movies taking place during December? Pearl Harbor Day really isn't an official holiday, but if you want to commemorate the attack on Pearl Harbor by watching PEARL HARBOR or TORA, TORA, TORA on December 7 or BATTLE OF THE BULGE or BATTLEGROUND in early December, should that count towards the challenge?

Both ideas look good to me.

Here was the expanded checklist (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/8288802-post101.html) from last year.

One idea I wish we could add to the challenge would be to watch movies that are a holiday tradition to you but they might not be christmas movies, for example I always watch the Lord of the Rings Trilogy during the holiday season. Maybe have a three wild card option for this.

RobCA
10-05-08, 05:15 PM

The thing is, though, there are so many Thanksgiving movies that one could watch (movies about families getting together Thanksgiving have become a sub-genre unot themselves) and starting it the Monday before Thanksgiving doesn't even give us a weekend to get them in. I would prefer starting on the 17th as originally stated, or the 20th or 21st.

Trevor
10-05-08, 09:55 PM
That's a good point. No one like to watch Thanksgiving things after Thanksgiving Thursday, we all move on to Christmas then.

There is so much Thanksgiving content out there that 4 work days really aren't enough time to get much in.

RobCA
10-06-08, 01:29 AM
No one like to watch Thanksgiving things after Thanksgiving Thursday, we all move on to Christmas then. Last year, I started watching Christmas stuff the day after Thanksgiving... and ran out of stuff to watch on December 14th. (I only watch stuff I own on DVD, a couple of things on VHS, and any holiday-themed episodes of the handful of new shows I watch on TV) So this year, regardless of when the challenge starts, I'm not going to start watching any of my Christmas stuff until December 1st.

Rob

The Monkees
10-06-08, 02:19 AM
I'm going to stick with the 24th starting date, because every year I keep changing the dates, but I want to stick to the tradition of starting the Monday before Thanksgiving. I did change the end date this year (last year the last day was 12/31).

If anyone is interested Fye has this exclusive Family Guy Christmas dvd. It has Family Guy's only Christmas episode, but also includes last year's American Dad Christmas Episode that should have been on the volume three set. I am kind of pissed that the AD christmas show should have been on the last box set, but this was only $9.99 so I got it.

Bluelitespecial
10-12-08, 09:36 PM
Has anyone started thinking about their lists yet? I printed mine out from last year to edit and add to it from holiday dvds I have just bought recently.

Numes
10-13-08, 07:16 AM
Wow. How did I miss this thread? I don't think I'll be anywhere near 200 like I was last year. Last year I tried to watch 1 of every possible sitcom or cartoon that had a holiday theme. There are probably only a handful of shows now that I haven't tapped into. I'll try to knock out as many holiday themed DVDs I have. I should have deferred Gremlins from the October Horror Movie Challenge to this challenge. Oh well.

RobCA
10-13-08, 11:02 AM
Has anyone started thinking about their lists yet? :wave:

I didn't print my list out, but I have it saved as a text file in Notepad, and have been adding to it as I buy new stuff. I think I missed some of the qualifying TV show episodes on new sets I bought; I should check on that pretty soon. I know last year, I had 13 Christmas movies to watch, and this year, I have 20. In fact, here are the current counts on what I have to watch. I'm not saying I'll watch all of this, but this is just the stuff I own:

Thanksgiving movies: 5
Thanksgiving TV shows: 40

Christmas movies: 20
Christmas TV specials: 14
Christmas & New Year's TV shows: 120

...for a grand total of 199. Plus, the handful of shows I watch on TV usually have some holiday-themed episodes as well.

RobCA

Forgot to mention, I bought It's a Wonderful Life back in April, but have held off on watching it. I've never seen it before (-eek-) so I figured I should wait until it's closer to Christmas before I finally watch it for the first time.

I'm looking forward to finally seeing what all the fuss is about! :)

Rob

We used to watch It's a Wonderful Life every single Christmas Eve before we could open presents. After about 10 years in a row, it got a little obnoxious and we kind of nixed that tradition. That was about 15 years ago, so I hadn't seen since then. I watched it again last year, and it was just amazing. I have a lot more appreciation for it now that I am an adult.

Trevor
10-13-08, 12:23 PM
I could see where watching it every Christmas Eve would be annoying as a kid. But now that I'm old enough to appreciate it, I can't imagine not watching it at least once per year.

Numes
10-13-08, 12:29 PM
There are only a few movies that I can watch once every year. In general, I need at least 2 years between movie viewings. The only movies that I seem to watch every year are Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, The Matrix, and the original Star Wars Trilogy. Some of my absolute favorites I like to go even longer (like every 4-5 years) because I don't want to over-saturate myself with them. A good example would be The Shawshank Redemption.

As for It's a Wonderful Life, I think that may be a once every 2 year movie for me. Although if there is a commentary on the DVD, I may watch it and listen to that this year (last year I didn't have the DVD yet).

Trevor
10-13-08, 12:38 PM
Yep, some movies I just seem to have to watch, or can't turn off if I stumble upon them. But then some movies, even my favorites, I go years without watching. Partly due to the over-saturation fear, and partly due to a silly "save the best for last" philosophy of sorts. Hard to fully explain without sounding even sillier than it already does.

The Monkees
10-13-08, 01:41 PM
I started this holiday challenge simply because I all ready do watch so many movies every Christmas that I may as well make a contest for it.

Be honest Davy/Micky/Peter/Michael. You started this challenge to save a dying child. If we can just get 20 participants to watch 100 movies each, the child's dying wish will be granted and the angel Griswold will take them to 34th Street where a virgin will heal them.

I just saw Pride and Glory last night, if its still in theatres by 11/24, it would be a movie to add to anyone's list. The whole movie is set within the Christmas season.

Numes
10-24-08, 05:17 PM
I haven't checked the thread from last year yet, but I don't remember "End of Days" being listed for one of the rare New Year's movies.

Unfortunately, another one that I inadvertently watched for the October Horror Movie Challenge that I should have reserved for this challenge :(

The Monkees
10-24-08, 05:42 PM
Yeah, I forgot about End of Days. I usually don't watch anything after Christmas anyway because I'm done watching stuff like that at that point.

There is a bit of a letdown after Christmas is over, but I remember last year I was really looking forward to watching Strange Days because I hadn't seen it for 6 years or so. Unfortunately, my excitement turned into disappointment when I put in the DVD and realized it wasn't anamorphic. I may have to see if the R2 German SE is available somewhere.

Before I forget, the season finale of Pushing Daisies Season 1 would falls into the Christmas/New Years timeframe. The name of the episode is Corpsicle.

I must admit, I am making a special point to mention this because I just started watching this show yesterday and it is an absolutely brilliant show. Love it.

I kind of like this idea for a Wild Card (or 2 or 3). Like my sister (whom I don't see very often) and I go see a movie every Thanksgiving Day and every Christmas Day as a family tradition, but it's rarely an actual holiday movie. But it FEELS like holiday because it IS part of our holiday tradition.


Personally, I'm psyched for this. First year for me, and I missed most of the October Horror Challenge. Already planning my list for this one. Gonna kick it off with Home for the Holidays, and it will culminate with Strange Days. (or When Harry Met Sally. Does that qualify for New Year's?)

This is a great idea. I used to watch the original Star Wars trilogy over Christmas break every year. There should be a stipulation, though, that you have to write about the tradition (at least a sentence or so) in your list thread. Not that it wouldn't count if one didn't, but it would be cool to get a little insight into peoples traditions.

Thank you so much, I like this idea as there are certain movies that I love to watch during the holiday season as well and is part of my own holiday tradition. The whole Lord of the Rings Trilogy will be added to my list. They were a part of my christmas break for three years in college, and thats why they are important to me.

The LOTR movies were a bg part of my Christmas break in college as well. We so looked forward to the next installment after each, and we'd see them in theaters again and again.

I could see where watching it every Christmas Eve would be annoying as a kid [It's A Wonderful Life]. But now that I'm old enough to appreciate it, I can't imagine not watching it at least once per year.

We always have it on in the background on Christmas Eve at my mom's. Occasionally, everybody will become engrossed in the movie but overall it is just on for ambiance and tradition.

Actually, my cousin's husband had never seen it before. One year, on Christmas Eve, he watched the whole thing and loved it. My cousin was pregnant at the time, and when their baby was born, they named her Susan. But they call her Zuzu for short.

Now "A Christmas Story" is another creature altogether. Aside from when "It's A Wonderful Life" is on TV, we have this on all day long in our house. Oddly enough, we never get sick of it.

I have added a new exception this year, which can be found in the rules on the first page:

A new addition to this year's challenge, as suggested by bluelitespecial is a THREE Wild Card Option. This is here to include movies you might watch as a tradition during the holidays. My family used to watch Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory every Thanksgiving. So ANY movie is allowed, up to THREE. Thanks bluelitespecial

Most excellent. We used to watch "Wizard of Oz" every Thanksgiving. Maybe we'll start that tradition up again.

We also used to go to a movie on Christmas Day after dinner. We haven't in several years (since before my kids were born), but who knows when we might start this one up again.

Watch anything having to do with Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's between November 24, 2008 and January 1, 2009. it doesn't even have to be about those holidays. It could just take place during the holiday season

You can also watch 3 movies that have absolutely nothing to do with any of the holidays and it doesn't have to take place during that time either. Just three random movies. This is here to include movies you might watch as a tradition during the holidays.

Any questions. :D

I think the best way is just hit the "report post" icon (the red triangle with an exclamation point in it.) Or you can post a message in the feedback forum. Or you could PM one of the mods for this particular forum.

If I may make a suggestion, regardless, is don't make the list thread until the middle of next week or something, that will cut down on the confusion.

I've never seen the movie before (gasp!) but DVDEmpire had a used copy for 51˘ and I needed to find a third DVD to get free shipping, so I figured why not... :) I actually bought it back in April, but haven't watched it yet; I figure since I've never seen it, the first time I watch it should be at Christmas time.

The list thread should be up by Wednesday, if not Thursday at the latest.

I, personally, can't wait for this to start. Last year I had such a crappy holiday, because my semester in school was going terribly and my father hurt his back so I was taking care of him and it was so much stress, even when school ended I was still stressed beyond belief. But this year, my semester in school is going great, and I love the holidays. Can't wait! I just always have a problem with wanting to watch my Christmas movies right away, but I must wait until after Thanksgiving!

We can watch thanksgiving movies after Thanksgiving still, right? I'm thinking of buying the Garfield holiday special collection with the Thanksgiving episode, but I won't have the money until after Thanksgiving.

I also want to buy the Night Before Christmas with the little mice. There are some on eBay and I'm thinking of doing it just because I love that special so much. I still need "White Christmas" and "A Miracle on 34th Street" in my collection too.

Yes, you can watch any Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years (I guess I should just say Holiday) movie/show any time during the duration of the challenge.

Really? I thought there was only one. Shows how much I know about movies. :nopanic: The one I'm taking about came out in the 90s I think. It looked cute but there's no touching the original for me. I wish I could buy it and watch it now. I have to actually restrain myself from watching "It's a Wonderful Life" until the challenge starts. I'm impatient. :-p

My mom had the VHS copy from many years ago, but I never watched it though. A couple of years ago, my mom was watching it and forgot to eject the tape from her VCR, which was set to record something later that night. For some reason, they record tab was still on and the "It's A Wonderful Life" got erased.

I've been tempted to pick up this version, but at this point I'm wondering if I should just wait for Blu-ray.

There were three back in the 40s and 50s, and I think some more modern ones with different names.

There was a TV Movie version of MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET in the 70's with Sebastian Cabot as Kris, and Jane Alexander and David Hartman in the Maureen O'Hara and John Paine roles. Not bad, but not particularly memorable either. There was also a Broadway musical version called "Here's Love" in the early 60's, but there's no recorded performance version available.

I recorded this TV version (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0501933/) of Miracle on 34th Street a few years ago from Fox Movie Channel. It stars the little girl from Them! as Susan and Uncle Billy from It's a Wonderful Life as Kris Kringle.

According to this Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000HT3PPG/ref=nosim/dvdpricesearch) review, you're correct.

For not only does the release feature the original black & white version shown in theaters and the circa 1980s colorized version of the same feature film, but also hidden away on the second disc is the curiously titled "20th Century Fox Hour of the Stars: The Miracle on 34th Street," which turns out to be a 46 minute 1950s remake for television that is surprisingly in incredibly good quality.

For anyone who can answer this, I decided to order the Black Christmas remake that came out a few years ago, but have been thinking about getting the original as well. Would it be worth my time, how do the two versions compare to one another. It will be good to have a christmas horror flick to watch along with everything else.

Are the Gossip Girl episodes Thanksgiving or Christmas?

I'm currently in the middle of adding my list and Trevor's list from last year. I figured between the 700 titles we watched, it would cover a lot of titles. I've already noticed quite a few doubles I didn't delete. That will be resolved shortly.

(Damn you Trevor for putting your comments on the same line as the title, it took some ingenious search/replace methods to delete that stuff) :D

For anyone who can answer this, I decided to order the Black Christmas remake that came out a few years ago, but have been thinking about getting the original as well. Would it be worth my time, how do the two versions compare to one another. It will be good to have a christmas horror flick to watch along with everything else.

The original is vastly superior to the remake. Order it...you won't be disappointed.

Based on comments from the Horror Movie Challenge, I've been trying to get Black Christmas from my library. I went in to pick up what I thought was the original, and they handed me the remake. The funny thing is, my library has the remake and I had to try and get the original via inter-library loan. They actually went ahead and requested the remake from another library! I don't know if it was my library's error or the lending library's. I DO know that I requested the original though. Anyway, I put in the notes section of my new request that I want the original directed by Bob Clark, not the 2007 remake. Hopefully they won't make the same mistake.

I'm currently in the middle of adding my list and Trevor's list from last year. I figured between the 700 titles we watched, it would cover a lot of titles. I've already noticed quite a few doubles I didn't delete. That will be resolved shortly.

(Damn you Trevor for putting your comments on the same line as the title, it took some ingenious search/replace methods to delete that stuff) :D

Great job on all the lists Numes!

Sorry about not being forward thinking and formatting my list to make cut and paste easier. :) I admire your ingenuity though, I would have given up and just manually done it.

Couple minor things. You probably meant to add "movies" to the top of your Christmas list. I don't think the King Kong/Mighty Joe Young movies weren't officially sanctioned as counting for Thanksgiving. They could count as wildcards at the minimum, as it is a Thanksgiving tradition in many areas to show them each year.

I went through the discussion thread from 2007 and this year (so far) and I have compiled a listing of everything that anyone mentioned in those threads. If I get really ambitious, I will go though last years list thread too.

I plan on keeping this list up-to-date, so I will continue to add/delete titles as mentioned.

Finally, all of this was just cut/pasted and sorted, so if there is an error, please let me know. Impressive lists! One error: the Mad About You episode "Met Someone" should be under Christmas, not Thanksgiving.

A couple of additions to your very impressive list, Numes:

Christmas:
Scrubs Episode 1.11 "My Own Personal Jesus"

New Years:
3rd Rock From the Sun Episode 4.9 "Happy New Dick!"

Also, the Sports Night episode "The Six Southern Gentleman of Tennessee" is listed twice.

I have in my notes that the Space: Above and Beyond episode "The River Of Stars" (1.11) might be a Christmas episode, but I haven't actually seen it yet so I can't confirm.

Are the Gossip Girl episodes Thanksgiving or Christmas?


Blair Waldorf Must Pie-Thanksgiving
Roman Holiday-Christmas

Tonight's Episode "The Magnificant Archibalds" is also a thanksgiving episode. I am going to tape it so I can watch it next week for my list.

I just started watching my Scrubs DVDs again but I didn't time it very well. I'm going to have to ration my episodes so that I don't get to "My Day Off" until the 24th.

When we saw it in theaters on Christmas day, I loved the Black Christmas remake. Now, on DVD, I think either it was the excitement of the day or I was just on crack, because the movie sucks, but it's fun enough for me to watch it again. The original...well, the thing is, I love it and there's a lot of good in it, but there are a lot of stupid crappy things about it too that no one mentions because its so beloved. To me, it's just like any
