My favorite scene is with Colin Firth and Lucia Muniz in the restaurant. I weep like the soppy girl that I am. Every, every, single time.

Love Actually is my favourite – such a great movie. The scene with Andrew Lincoln and Keira Knightley with the boards is THE most romantic scene ever. It is amazing.

Is LOVE ACTUALLY a chick flick? I couldn’t sit through it.

Favorite Christmas movie is probably also a trifecta:

1) Claymation stuff (e.g., Santa Clause is Coming to Town; Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, etc.)
2) Bells of Saint Mary
3) It’s a Wonderful Life

I would’ve added “About a Boy” or “Definitely, Maybe” in there but wasn’t sure if they qualified as Christmas movies.

And I think 99% of the people who hate it hate it because of TBS. What movie is good 24 hours straight?

Well. Apart from a Top Gun-a-thon. That’d be pretty sweet. And maybe a Dirty Dancing Day.

TBS, are you listening??

I’d totally forgotten about MCC. “Light the lamp, not the rat!” Hee!

Here are my top 5:
1. Elf — because I love smiling. Smiling’s my favorite 🙂
2. Muppet Christmas Carol
3. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer — I’d take a Charlie in the box any day
4. The Santa Clause
5. A Christmas Story — oddly, I am not sick of it yet.

1. It’s a Wonderful Life – I’ve seen it at least 100 times and I still cry at the end.
2. A Charlie Brown Christmas – just because.
3. Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas – a retelling of “The Gift of the Magi” with Muppets. Edited from the original on the DVD version.
4. Bells of St Mary’s – a little hokey, but good
5. Christmas Carol – with Alastair Sim

A Christmas Story is an institution in my family (I even have the red rider bb gun) but as good as it is…I’m over it. TBS made sure of that.

I like Elf and A Muppet Christmas Carol.

And Miracle on 34th Street. (BTW, i am asking Santa for a house this year, too.)

Crap, forgot one of the best – Die Hard.

(Come on now folks. I know it’s not a traditional Christmas movie, but that’s what great about it!)

Love Actually, Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, It’s A Very Merry Muppet Christmas, Elf

@Robin – I think people either love or can’t stand Christmas Story. So, normal or not, you’re not alone 🙂

I like The Santa Clause. Reminds us of the magic of the season that seems to slip away as we get older. And it’s funny.

I love LOVE, ACTUALLY, too. And I really like the new version of MIRACLE ON 34th STREET.

And sorry, Sac, but I hate, hate, hate A CHRISTMAS STORY. Does that make me weird? Oh, wait, according to Sarah, weird is good… and normal. So that’s okay! 🙂

There is no better ‘Christmas’ movie for me than Groundhog Day with Bill Murray. Making the most of every day in terms of your everyday relationships conveys a powerful theme for the season.

How about a humor category? Chevy Chase Christmas Vacation

A Christmas Story
