  • Your Christmas-Eve Movie

    Do you typically watch a particular film on X-mas eve?

    For me, it's usually Die Hard or How The Grinch Stole Christmas (the original animated version). However, this year, I might go with A Nightmare Before Christmas and/or Christmas Vacation.

    I used to watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation every year. Love that movie. Die Hard is a festive choice, I also like A Christmas Story and It's a Wonderful Life.

      If I can find it on t.v., I like to watch the older version of "A Christmas Carol" with Alastair Sim. He's the best scrooge I've ever seen.

        The original Black Christmas is some good counter-programming

            I've already seen Christmas Vacation several times this month, but it never gets old for me. I saw it in the theater on the original run and have loved it ever since.

            Die Hard 2 also has that Christmas spirit.

              When I was younger I thought it was something trying to watch parts of each of the 12 times they showed A Christmas Story on TV. Finally someone got me the DVD and VHS for Christmas...yet I've never watched either. I still wait for it to come around every year and watch it.

                      One of my all time favorites is Christmas In Conneticut, an old black and white comedy.

                        A Christmas Carol w/George C. Scott. Scott is great, but I especially love Roger Rees' performance as Ebenezer's nephew, Fred.

                          As far as I'm concerned, this is the definitive version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Utterly fantastic on every level.
