Just viewed Black Christmas again the other day and it kind of put me in the mood.
 Seriously, my all-time favorite (and of many other people) is Christmas Story, recently released in a very nice 2-disc deluxe treatment. Nightmare Before Christmas is fun too. |

My favorite film to watch at Christmas is : CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE. Despite the lurid title, it's a sensitive fantasy about a lonely girl who befriends the ghost of her father's first wife. The finale is haunting and intriguing and the whole sequence takes place on Christmas Eve. Great flick directed by Jacques Tournier that is sadly absent from DVD.

My fave:
1. Miracle on 34th Street - the colour one. Haven't seen the B&W. 2. Home Alone - only love the first one. 3. The Santa Clause - quite good in picturing how Santa works .

It's a Wonderful Life is my favorite for a "pure" Christmas movie.
Other movies that I like which take place during the Christmas season: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Reindeer Games Serendipity While You Were Sleeping I'm sure there are a few more that I like, but those are the ones off the top of my head.

I only ask because in our current situation, well, it could prove to be useful information, MAYBE! |

The tale of Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite stories, so I try to watch as many versions as I can at least once.
Jim Backus as Mr. Magoo Albert Finney as a singing Scrooge - Probably number one on my list. Seymour Hicks Alastair Sim - He gives the best performance George C. Scott Patrick Stewart Last year I saw an excellent updated British version with Ross Kemp as Eddie Scrooge, a mean loan shark. I even liked Jack Palance as a cowboy Scrooge, and Henry Winkler as a Depression-era Scrooge. However, I do not care for a female Scrooge (Susan Lucci, Cicely Tyson, Vanessa L. Williams).  Bah! Humbug!
