We own lots of movies. So many, I doubt we’ll ever watch
them all again (hmmm… sort of like my books, I think!). But some we watch
yearly or more often. Like around Christmas. Why? Because they’re either about
Christmas or set during the season. How many of you consider these “Christmas”
movies?
- Bridget Jones’s Diary
- Die Hard
- Die Hard 2
- Donovan’s Reef
- The Family Man
- Gremlins
- It’s a Wonderful Life
- Lethal Weapon
- Love, Actually
- When Harry Met Sally
- While You Were Sleeping
- White Christmas
- You’ve Got Mail
Do you have a favorite movie you like to watch every
Christmas? I know a lot of people who love The Christmas Story and can’t go a
Christmas without watching it. Frankly, I hate that movie! I just don’t see
what’s so gosh-darn special about it.
Have a good weekend! Take in a movie!

It's a Wonderful Life has always been one of my favorites! And it wouldn't be Christmas without Love, Actually.
We were talking about watching Gremlins this year, but our youngest is 7 and I'm not quite sure he's up to the scare factor yet. LOVE that movie. Two of our "must watch" movies are It's a Wonderful Life, and Muppets Christmas Carol.
Julia - I agree about Love, Actually. All I have to do is HEAR a song from that movie and I get in the spirit and yearn to watch it again!
Crystal - If my husband would watch It's a Wonderful Life, I'd be watching it every year. I just don't like watching it alone. :( And I completely understand about Gremlins. However, I did take my daughter to see Jurassic Park when she was 8. Did it scare her? Yep! Did she love it? Yep! I corrupted her at an early age! Haha! :D
That sounds a lot like our list, but we also include The Long Kiss Goodnight and The Ref. :)
We watch the X-Files Christmas each Christmas Eve. The one with the haunted house on Christmas Eve.
Happy Moving Watching :-)
Samantha - I remember you talking about The Ref before. I still don't have that movie. I might have to solve that someday soon!
Ivy - I've never watched the X-Files (husband wasn't interested so I never bothered). I should probably request the series as a present someday, huh? I'm sure it's good!
Oh my gosh, I love that show. And I hear now the complete season is super duper cheap. Back in the day, we paid 100 smackers for one season. Talk about painful.
Ivy - I did the same thing when Friends first came out on DVD. Bought the whole series at a small fortune. I was so sure I'd miss a season if I didn't buy them when they first came out!
A Christmas Story is just so gosh-darned funny! Ah, well, my kids hate it, too. Enjoy your Christmas movies!
Jeff - I have a friend who used to watch the Christmas Story marathon TNT (or was it TBS?) put on (heck, they probably still do it, huh?). I sure hope she's bought her own copy by now. The commercials alone would have driven me nuts!
We always watch the Muppets Christmas Carol. I love the Muppets!
Jen - I love the Muppets, too, but sadly don't own that movie. :(
