For those in the States, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday! Now that Thanksgiving is over... I can go FULL CHRISTMAS MODE! Give me your holiday movie recs! I feel like I've watched most of the popular Christmas movies, but I'm sure there are still a few out there that I haven't seen! Here's a list of the big ones that I've already seen:
Not on the channel:
Elf
The Santa Clause movies
Home Alone
The Holiday
The Polar Express
The Nightmare Before Christmas and Jim Carrey's How the Grinch Stole Christmas - I know I've seen parts of these movies, but I'm not sure that I've seen them all the way through. I sat down to watch them with friends, but you end up getting distracted!
On the channel:
Die Hard 1 & 2 (and 3, but it's not a holiday movie)
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
It's a Wonderful Life
A Christmas Story
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Gremlins
Scrooged
The Muppet Christmas Carol
Lethal Weapon (It's a Patreon Exclusive because it kept getting blocked on YT)
Love Actually (Patreon Exclusive)
I'm thinking about watching Jingle All the Way this season because I feel like i need that movie in my life, but give me your other holiday movie recommendations! If you're curious about any other movies I've already seen, you can check out my Letterboxd:

There is a beautiful sequel to A Christmas Story that came out a couple of years ago. A Christmas Story Christmas. Highly recommended.

2024-12-03 20:11:50 +0000 UTCIt still baffles me that your "Lethal Weapon" reaction got blocked. 🤔 I've *never* seen any other reaction channel run into copyright troubles with those movies. 🤷♂️ And the second one is my favorite.

2024-12-02 06:50:57 +0000 UTCAgreed! Just keep recommending it till they have no choice!
Raj Hudek
2024-12-02 03:31:23 +0000 UTCEven though you've probably seen it, and it's not actually related to Christmas, The Sound of Music is one of those family feel-good movies around the holidays.
Steven Fordham
2024-12-02 01:34:41 +0000 UTCI know I mentioned/recommended Klaus the other month but mentioning it again. I highly recommend it. I just watched Christmas with the Kranks yesterday at my parents. Also, no Christmas movie list would be complete without the best Christmas movie of all time, Die Hard.
Mathew Coughlin
2024-12-01 22:59:37 +0000 UTCMine, too! I know lots of people that love this movie! I have found that many more people haven't seen it, or even heard of it, than those who didn't like it. We'll just have to keep spreading the word!!!

2024-12-01 19:53:07 +0000 UTCYes to "Trading Places"!

2024-12-01 14:12:42 +0000 UTCWell now we're going to have to get your opinion on the classics you've already seen that won't be on the channel.
Kyle
2024-12-01 05:23:00 +0000 UTCDEFINITELY stupid, but I love the movie, they're all great together and it has some good Christmas spirit to it (eventually).
Kyle
2024-12-01 05:10:22 +0000 UTCHi Addie, not counting those you have already seen, my favourite Xmas films are the following. (The Bishop`s Wife) 1947 Cary Grant, (Miracle On 34 th Street) 1947, (Scrooge) 1951 Alistair Sim, these I try to watch as close to Xmas Eve as possible. If you have not seen it yet. I find (White Xmas) 1954 Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney & Vera Ellen, a wonderful Xmas Day film. Others I enjoy are (The Shop Around The Corner) 1940 Margaret Sullavan & James Stewart. (The Man Who Came To Dinner) 1941 Bette Davis & Monty Wooley. (March Of The Wooden Soldiers) 1934 Best version of Babes In Toyland, Laurel & Hardy. (Trading Places) 1983 Eddie Murphy & Dan Aykroyd. (A Mom For Xmas) 1990 Olivia Newton John & Doris Roberts. (Home Alone 2 : Lost In New York) 1992. (While You Where Sleeping) 1995 Sandra Bullock & Bill Pullman. (The Long Kiss Goodnight) 1996 Geena Davis & Samuel L. Jackson. (Home Alone 3) 1998 different family with Young Scarlett Johansson, not as well rated but I enjoy it. Two films I believe are a continuation of Doris Roberts character from (A Mom For Xmas), are (Mrs. Miracle) 2009 James Van Der Beek & Erin Karpluk. (Call Me Mrs. Miracle) 2010 Jewel Staite & Lauren Holly. Finally, two other`s I have enjoyed but like Home Alone 3 they are lower rated, are (Xmas With The Kranks) 2004 Tim Allen & Jamie Lee Curtis. (Unaccompanied Minors) 2006. Hope this helps.

2024-11-30 19:19:23 +0000 UTCIt's refreshing to find someone that actually likes this movie. It is one of my favorite Christmas movies of modern yuletide-themed films.
Raj Hudek
2024-11-30 19:03:39 +0000 UTCThe Family Stone (2005) starring Dermot Mulroney, Sarah Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson, Claire Danes, Diane Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Craig T. Nelson, Elizabeth Reaser, and Ty Giordano! An uptight, liberal businesswoman accompanies her boyfriend to his eccentric and outgoing family's annual Christmas celebration and finds that she is a fish out of water in their free-spirited way of life! A fantastic all-star cast in a hysterical movie! It's a Christmas must-see!!!

2024-11-30 17:00:42 +0000 UTCI’ll second In Bruges being a great movie that’s not really a Christmas movie.
Doug
2024-11-30 14:59:43 +0000 UTCBoogie Nights is a great movie, I’m all for Addie watching it at some point. 👍 It has nothing to do with Christmas though. 🤷♂️
Doug
2024-11-30 14:58:58 +0000 UTCHey Addie, happy holidays! I know some good Hallmark Xmas movies, - Ghosts of Christmas always (2022) - On the 12th date of Christmas (2020) - A Dickens of a Holiday (2021) And some anytime movies I think you’d like - Maverick (1994) - Hidalgo (2004) - Joe versus the Volcano (1990) - Sleepless in Seattle (1993, some scenes happen during Xmas) - Miracle (2004, “…”) - The Family Man (2000, “…”)

2024-11-30 07:30:57 +0000 UTCI would like to suggest: • Trapped in Paradise • Dr Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas • Ernest Saves Christmas • Jingle All The Way • The Ref • Office Christmas Party • Home Alone
Future_Boy85
2024-11-30 05:13:07 +0000 UTCTo potentially avoid any confusion for Addie, it should be noted that "The Preacher's Wife" is a remake of "The Bishop's Wife."
Byrd N. Hand
2024-11-30 04:59:52 +0000 UTCAlas, she's already seen the first 2 Narnia movies, as well as the original Rudolph and Grinch TV specials, according to her Letterboxd.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-11-30 04:50:45 +0000 UTCI watch DIE HARD every xXxmas eve, but when I saw it as a teenager it was in July. There's a DIE HARD children's book which I bought for my son. We get a kick out of the cuss phrase that makes series iconic.
Philip Davetas
2024-11-30 04:22:52 +0000 UTCOh that is a good one, I forgot about that one.
Ronny Boss
2024-11-30 03:56:49 +0000 UTCExcept "Die Hard" takes place during Christmas in its entirety, whereas only a brief segment of "Boogie Nights" does. I'm all for Addie reacting to "Boogie Nights," but not during the holiday season.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-11-30 03:56:32 +0000 UTCThere’s also 8 Crazy Nights which I’ve heard is ok but never watched.

2024-11-30 03:35:29 +0000 UTCMy childhood favorite was Santa Clause Conquers the Martians. If you’ve seen it, you know. If you haven’t, you’ve gotta be intrigued by the title, right?
Simone's Coconut Squire
2024-11-30 03:31:48 +0000 UTCAddie, Please do Daddy's home 2. I know it's a sequel, but i actually that one before the first one and u don't need to see the first to enjoy it . it's very fun and the year i bought it i saw it 6 times that Holiday Season. You will love it. Also , please watch Jingle all the Way. it's hilarious and heart-warming.

David Martin
2024-11-29 23:52:01 +0000 UTCFrom your list, I would say the top of the list, in order is best - 1. Elf (a modern classic!), 2. The Santa Clause (1 anyway), and 3. Home Alone (same). Not from your list, I would say 1. the CGI Grinch (Benedict Cumberbatch), 2. Ernest Saves Christmas, and 3. Batman Returns
Brian Nix
2024-11-29 23:19:04 +0000 UTCIn order of preference: Scrooge (1951), Scrooge (1970), A Christmas Carol (1984), A Christmas Carol (1999) Unordered: Miracle on 34th Street (1947), The Family Man (2000), Arthur Christmas (2011)

2024-11-29 22:43:44 +0000 UTCFor decades the first group were thee ones to watch! Mostly because there were only a few TV Channels and they played them year after year, but are beloved! "A Christmas Carol" (1951) "White Christmas" (1954) "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (1964) "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (1965) "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" (1966) "The Little Drummer Boy" (1968) "Frosty the Snowman" (1969) "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" (1970) "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" (1970) "Mickey's Christmas Carol" (1983) "Little Women" (1994) "Crown for Christmas" (2015) "The Christmas Chronicles" (2018) "Christmas Jars" (2019) Her name is Hannah! "The Christmas Chronicles 2" (2020)
Randolph Tirazona
2024-11-29 21:21:13 +0000 UTCMiracle on 34th Street 1947 B/W version one of the true classics. White Christmas is a classic. Bad Santa, Meet Me in St Louis, A Christmas Carol 1951 or 1936 version. Jingle All the Way
thomas king
2024-11-29 21:15:59 +0000 UTCViolent Night(2022) - dark action comedy - Starz/rental The Shop Around the Corner(1940) - romantic comedy - MGM+/rental Home Alone might still be worth it if only seen once or twice and not in many, many years.
Michael Kemmet
2024-11-29 21:03:43 +0000 UTCElf, The Santa Clause (only one and two are worth watching) and Home Alone are pretty solid movie choices for Christmas and are common Christmas staples. All of them are comedies so you should enjoy them. Personally I'd recommend Bad Santa(only the first one) and Fat Man. Bad Santa is a crude comedy and it's rated R. Fat Man is not well known and is about a kid who gets coal for Christmas so hires a hit man to kill Santa. Fat Man is rated R and straddles the line between being genius and campy.

2024-11-29 20:36:16 +0000 UTCIf Die Hard is considered a Christmas movie. And it is by lots of people, Then Boogie Nights is also. But that’s just my humble opinion.

2024-11-29 19:55:01 +0000 UTCI disagree that It’[s a porn film just because it’s about the porn industry and its actors, but I do agree that it has as much to do with Christmas as the typical porn movie.
Daniel Goldberg
2024-11-29 19:53:37 +0000 UTCA porn film? I didn’t know Burt Reynolds, Mark Whalberg, John C Reilly and Heather Graham Made Porn Films?
Rickie 1978
2024-11-29 19:52:35 +0000 UTCThe 1951 version of A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim. This is by far my favorite, but the version with George C. Scott is good. And if you are a Star Trek or X-Men fan there is also a.version with Patrick Stewart. But like I said, I think the Alastair Sim version is the best. Being in black & white gives it an atmosphere that is perfect for the story. I’d avoid the colorized version. The 1940’s A Miracle on 34th Street is also very good.
Daniel Goldberg
2024-11-29 19:47:54 +0000 UTCdon't fall for this addie. Boogie Nights is a porn film 🙄

2024-11-29 19:42:11 +0000 UTC"Krampus" and "In Bruges". Let it be known, however, that "In Bruges" takes place at Christmas time, but that factors very little into the plot. It's just in my top ten fav films of all time.

Robert Lemond
2024-11-29 19:13:37 +0000 UTCI would recommend 'Jingle All the Way', its not very good, but its a guilty pleasure and it has Arnold it in so that's a plus... and yes, has some memorable and quotable lines. Although its not a Christmas film, 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles' is a holiday classic and John Candy is a national treasure, RIP. I also have to highly recommend 'Krampus', its a modern classic, a holiday themed horror comedy that has no right to be as great as it is. The practical effects are top notch.
Kyle Brandon Sanger
2024-11-29 18:51:32 +0000 UTCThat's fair, but I wasn't going to suggest the first one, as she's already seen it, and these are my suggestions.
Alex Lee
2024-11-29 18:47:40 +0000 UTCKlaus (2016)is a wonderful animated film on Netflix. Fred Claus (2007) is on Disney + Miracle on 34th Street 1947 is on Disney + A Christmas Story Christmas (2022) is on Hulu
Billy Dancel
2024-11-29 18:43:14 +0000 UTC"Home Alone 2" is basically the same movie as the first, albeit just relocated to NYC. I'd rather she do a re-watch of the first one first. Also, "Jingle All the Way," despite being filmed in the Twin Cities metro area where I live, it's frankly a bit past my time; one particular moment honestly remains one of the most intelligence-insulting moments I've ever seen in a movie. 🤔

Cody Cameron
2024-11-29 18:21:17 +0000 UTC"Violent Night" (2022) became a new favorite of mine, in the tradition of the unconventional Christmas movie with action and violence. Unlike "Die Hard" there is no dispute whether this is a Christmas movie or not. It certain IS! Please consider it!

Joe Cross
2024-11-29 18:04:31 +0000 UTCIn addition to the ones already suggested in the comments, if you want to go in a totally other direction, there's the infamously terrible Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, which you could either watch the original or (probably even better) watch the MST3K version where they make fun of the film the entire time. 😄 (I can't speak to how easy or hard it is to find the original to watch, but the MST3K spoof version appears to be available via streaming service.)
Doug
2024-11-29 17:59:38 +0000 UTCFeature films: The Holdovers (2023) The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) These ones are more short films rather than feature films and they are pretty dated, but they’re still Christmas classics nonetheless if you’re willing to include them: Frosty the Snowman (1969) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966)
Thomas Wetherell
2024-11-29 17:58:42 +0000 UTCShe's seen it, as shown on her Letterboxd account... though "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" and "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" are NOT confirmed on her 'watched' list, but it's probably too late this year for her to watch either one.

Pendragon1951
2024-11-29 17:54:33 +0000 UTCI'd definitely rather she re-watch the first movie before reacting to the second one. It has to have been a number of years since she's seen it anyway, thus, who knows how well she remembers it?
Byrd N. Hand
2024-11-29 17:52:15 +0000 UTCIt’s not a movie, but have you seen the Charlie Brown Christmas Special from 1965? That’s pretty classic.
BareJordan
2024-11-29 17:51:50 +0000 UTCTrapped in Paradise stars Nic Cage, Jon Lovitz, and Dana Carvey. It's an absolutely stupid Christmas movie that I watch every year because it makes me laugh the entire time
Mark Dahlen
2024-11-29 17:50:13 +0000 UTCI think if I had to choose between her rewatching the original Grinch and Scissorhands I'd go with Grinch, but that's just me. 🤷♂️
Doug
2024-11-29 17:48:53 +0000 UTCIf you're in the mood for a romantic comedy with fantasy thrown in, I'd suggest Bell Book And Candle (1958) - I think it might be right up your street.

2024-11-29 17:19:19 +0000 UTCHonestly, the second "Home Alone" movie is pretty much the same as the first -- just relocated to NYC. I'd rather she re-watch the first one before venturing into that one, especially given that I feel it's kind of awkward when a reactor doesn't start a franchise from the very beginning. 🤷♂️

2024-11-29 17:14:51 +0000 UTCHonestly, Addie, you've already seen a lot of the really good Christmas movies! But here are a few good holiday(ish) movies that it sounds like you haven't seen that you'd hopefully like. - Miracle on 34th Street (1947), it's one of the top classic Christmas movies of all time - Trading Places (1983), a very funny Christmas-adjacent movie (i.e. same category Die Hard) - The Holdovers (2023), a more recent holiday movie that got very good reviews - Batman Returns (1992), surprisingly this kind of fits both the holiday theme AND as the sequel to Batman that was on the channel a few weeks ago! - The original How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966). I can't speak to that Jim Carey movie but the original is a classic! P.S. If we're also including Thanksgiving, then throw in Hannah and her Sisters (1986), it's an academy award winning comedy centered around Thanksgiving gettogethers. P.P.S. Oops, looks like you saw Edward Scissorhands, I took that one off.

2024-11-29 17:13:44 +0000 UTCHappy Friday, Addie! I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving. 😊 "Jingle All the Way" and "Polar Express" are definitely must-watches for me every holiday season. Maybe as a rewatch for the channel: "Home Alone 1 & 2", the "Santa Clause" trilogy, "While You Were Sleeping", "Sleepless in Seattle", "Elf", and "Christmas with the Kranks". Have a great day today, and a great weekend! 😊

2024-11-29 17:06:14 +0000 UTCI think While You Were Sleeping is actually a good holiday movie that people tend to overlook as a holiday movie
