The Great Escape was always on here at Christmas as well up until a few years ago.
I never liked the thing, but my German BIL was an avid fan of the movie! :shrug:

True story..... James Garner played my father in The great Escape.

My favorite Christmas movie is White Christmas. Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen...... magic.

I stopped when they said Christmas in Connecticut with Barbara Stanwyck was only the 64th best Christmas movie of all time. It is clearly one of the BEST Christmas movies of all time. Should be in the top ten for sure. Die Hard is not really a Christmas movie.

I just watched Home Alone again but had not seen it in years. :popcorn:

It is number 5 on this list.

Not sure if I would consider Die Hard a Christmas movie.

The Santa Clause or Bad Santa

Different parts of the country, even the world have unique traditions. Where I am from, Thanksgiving is not complete until we all gather and sing Alice's Restaurant. At the end of the song, the Christmas season begins.

Any of the classics from that time. I like the ORIGINAL, "The Bishops Wife" with Carey Grant.

Anyone who has gone shopping early on Black Friday at Walmart will understand why Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

Very cool!

The Bishop's Wife
 
The original 1947 version of The Bishops Wife. Incomprehensible how that was not on the list, yet some modern hallmark channel films were.

The 1947 version of Miracle on 34th street

We watch While You Were Sleeping, Holiday Inn and White Christmas.

My favorite is Mr Magoo's A Christmas Carol. Great music.

It was an amazing story. Your father was lucky not to get out that night.
He probably flew his plane over my father at some time in N.Africa!
