I was typing up something about Christmas and I realized it's December (already). I'll have to sneak in a movie here and there while I make sure the DVDs I just got plays. I think I'll start with "Love Actually" since I was just typing about that. Bill Nighy was great in that "kids don't buy drugs". Love this movie.
Even Rick Grimes is in this.
Comments
A few I like but many more also too many to list them all
But a few
It's a wonderful life
Christmas story
A Christmas Carol
Chevy chase Christmas
All the old Christmas cartoons of course
I think they all just open up old memories of past friends and family who have all passed on .
Tune into the Hallmark channels every night from 7 'til 1 A.M. 185 & 187 if you have DISH. Kinda mushy but no T & A and no cussing .
IT was funny how they did that movie at Christmas. A bit of dark comedy.
Hans Gruber opened the elevator door, the tall blonde terrorist was sitting there, bloody and dead, and on his chest was written
NOW I HAVE A MACHINE GUN HO HO HO.
Try ..................."A Midnight Clear" 1992.
Gary Sinese......Ethan Hawke..........and others.
Set in WWII................not a happy movie.
saw it late last night
We have a channel that is now showing "old" 1940's +- Xmas movies. Really enjoy watching them.
How about Rare Exports or Dead Snow ?
I like Bad Santa. Funny movie with Billy Bob Thornton.
I watched Home Alone last night for the first time.
One of my favorite holiday movies is The Bells of St Mary (Bing Crosby Ingrid Bergman(
"Independence Now, Independence Forever."
John Adams
Even with the VERY early Xmas store displays TV adds, newspaper adds etc. I always miss the season when it's over😐️
It would just be weird to miss it when its here. Don
I like all mentioned so far. My wife also enjoys the Hallmark channel.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I was going to watch it the title was not one I remembered
But reading the review I remember seeing the movie
Good movie and like some other war movies take away the government instilled hate and most are the same at heart
Not so much with current enemies
But WWI And WWII
Mostly common people forced to fight
"Rare Export" is always in the rotation along with Krampus movies. Was "Dead Snow" during Christmas?
Mr. Perfect - "First Blood" was that Christmas movie? "The Princess Bride" also Christmas movie?
So far I've watched "Four Christmases" kind a like "Christmas With The Kranks". "Nothing Like The Holidays" a Latin family gathering in Chicago (commentary was better than the movie).Then there was "Serendipity" a John Cusack movie and we all like John (well most of his movies).
I think I'll watch Santa as action hero. "Fatman" and "Violent Night". Since I'll be watching the "Star Trek: Strange New World" season 2 the Christmas movies will not be the main focus. Then there is the new woke "Indiana Jones" that's also out and Sallah is in it. I am kind a curious if they killed off "Mutt". I may wait until they're cheap or I'll buy it used.
Also "The Winchesters" season 1 will be out. I really wanted to like this show but I got to about the 6th episodes before I gave up.
A Storm for Christmas...Norwegian and
Three days of Christmas.....Spanish
Both are kind of quirky with subtitles, or dubbed.
Yes. Both those movies take place during Christmastime.

ltcdoty - "A Storm For Christmas" looks good. I'll have to look for them when it comes out on DVD. "Three days of Christmas" another Netflix show. I haven't seen Victoria Abril since "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!" (not that I really paid much attention to her works) one of the early Antonio Banderas movies. I half watched that movie while waiting for a ride home back in 1990.
Mr. Perfect - I guess I'll have to move "Dead Snow" to the Christmas movie box. That's gonna throw off "Dead Snow 2" since they'll be separated.
So I got the new "Star Trek: Strange New World" that's gonna eat in to the Christmas movie viewing. I have to say so far 5 episodes in it's good as the first season.
Christmas Vacation
Elf
Christmas with the Kranks
It’s a Wonderful Life
Scrooged
The Grinch
Home Alone
Violent Night(fun Christmas Die Hard knockoff)
Step Dads 2…love Mel Gibson in this one
Die Hard and Lethal Weapon
I'm watching "It's a Wonderful Life" as I type this. I haven't watched it in 28 years. Since I live I Donna Reed's hometown, I suppose it's fitting that I watch it.
also Scrooged, All The Santa Clauses and yes the Hallmark Channel
"Dead Snow" took place around Easter Break their words. And since "Dead Snow 2" was a few days after that. It was a nice transition to watch "Fat Man" and "Violent Night".
Saw "Christmas With The Kranks", "Surviving Christmas", "Last Holiday" and something else.
So today I was looking at something and I saw "Harold and Kumar 3" was a Christmas movie then I remembered "Friday After Next" was another one that I usually forget.
Last leg of the Christmas movies. I'll have to get out "Die Hard 1&2", "Lethal Weapon" and all the Christmas Story movies. Might not have time for all those Krampus movies.
I plan to go to San Jose on Friday to pick up a roast duck so I can watch and eat duck along with Ralphie and his family singing badly accented Jingle Bells.
I watched my VHS copy of "Michael" over the weekend. Been a long while since seeing it. John Travolta as an angel and who can resist seeing Andie MacDowell!
Kind of sad that quite a few actors in this movie are no longer with us.
I'm thinking it's sad that quite a few actors in this movie "are" still with us.
