Blogmas Day 17: preferred holiday films

let me first preface this by saying that I am not into overly cheesy Christmas movies… I’m going to admit something: I’ve never viewed “It’s a fantastic Life” or “Miracle on 34th Street” in their entirety.  Here are the 5 Christmas films that top my Must-Watch list every holiday season:

5) Scrooged (1988)

Favourite scene: when the Ghost of Christmas present (this little wee high pitch voiced fairy) beats bill Murray up.
And I can’t hear the song “Put a little love in Your Heart” without thinking of this movie!

4) Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)

Not your common Christmas film but it’s a wonderful alternative to all the feel-good films out there – this is a “neo-noir crime comedy” (I pulled that off Wikipedia) and the only reason it’s even considered a Christmas film is that it takes place at Christmas time.   Val Kilmer is outstanding in this, and Robert Downey Jr… plays himself.
Favourite scene: When Gay Perry shoots his pants gun.

3) Elf (2003)

Favourite scene: The snowball fight. Buddy: “Son of a nutcracker!”
I’ve viewed this film 4 times this season already lol.

2) A Christmas story (1983)

Favourite scene: so numerous to choose from! Triple canine dare pole lick… the major prize leg lamp… bunny suit present… “You’ll shoot your eye out!”…  I’ll choose the one at the end of the film because it’s worth viewing it to the end: the Chinese restaurant Christmas dinner. Need I say more? лмао

And one that’s not technically a Christmas film but it’s always shown at Christmas time:

1) The sound of music (1965)

I just love this film through and through.  I know all the songs, I’ve been singing them because I was a little kid. I’ll never pass up the opportunity to view it whenever it’s shown over the holidays.
Favourite scene: again, so numerous to choose from. I’ll say one of my favourites is the singing of Do-Re-Mi – I just love viewing the montage of the Von Trapp children and Maria singing around Salzburg.

What are your go-to Christmas movies?
