First an apology. I posted a topic without a title and that messes everything up. A guess there is a first for everything. Now on to my original topic.

Do you have favorite holiday films you like to watch now that Thanksgiving and Christmas are approaching?

I watch "Bell Book and Candle". It does not empathize Christmas, but I see Kim Novak, as Gil, get her Christmas wish in the form of James Stewart, as Shep.

I also like "The Lemon Drop Kid" with Bob Hope just because I enjoy this film and Marilyn Maxwell as Brainy Baxter is not hard on the eyes.

Planes, Train, and Automobiles for Thanksgiving.

And DIE HARD is the best Christmas movie EVER.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Seconded on both! Planes, Train, and Automobiles is really the only movie I associate w/ Thanksgiving and watch each year.

For Christmas, besides Die Hard I watch these movies:

A Christmas Story
White Christmas
Holiday Inn
A Charlie Brown Christmas
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Miracle on 34th Street
Mr. Krueger's Christmas
A Christmas Carol

A GREAT Thanksgiving movie is "Pieces of April." I laughed, I cried. Fantastic.

Get it from Netflix. You won't be sorry.

Fremdfirma, that is the one indeed! Own it on dvd and I agree, Vera Ellen has always been a crush of mine.

I see that there are people who step out of the box when it comes to holiday movies.
Another film I watch is "Battleground" staring Van Johnson.

Ok, these are not movies but they are worth mentioning:

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (cartoon version)
A Charlie Brown Christmas
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

If these don't put you in the mood, seriously what's wrong with you!?
