Christmas Movies (or hanukkah or ...)
« on: December 16, 2012, 06:20:23 pm »
We watched White Christmas last night.   Lots of great dance and song.  Vera Ellen.  Wow!  The last 10 or 15 minutes are especially heart warming.

I also bought a copy of Miracle on 34th St.  I've probably watched both of these every other year for a while

So what else are you watching?

I picked up a LG 3D blu-ray Player last week and the following films

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides 3D
Avatar 3D

I think I am going to try to get a few more 3d films to watch.

like Prometheus Blu-ray 3D

I also got my self a new camera, the old one was 4mp, this new one is 16mp

I think I seen Miracle on 34th St. (the 1947 and the 1973 version) and "it's a wonderful life" like 70 times, I watch them every year.

Not a Christmas theme but nevertheless great music, hilarious, and genuinely fun: Pitch Perfect

For Christmas themes I've got Bad Santa queued to watch with my son when he returns home from university.

Bad Santa and Christmas Vacation (The Griswold family) are both a must every year.

+1, though I always wait for Christmas Day for that one (you might as well, since it is pretty much all that is on that day).

The family got together just the other day and watched the old, stop-motion Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer movie.  I don't know if I'd call it "good", but, you know... It was good.

PS.  That made me think of this...

Every year, one of the things my department does is put out a fun calendar that the marketing folks give out to our customers.  They're quite popular, and one of our designers in particular does an immense amount of work for it every year.  Anyway, a few years back, we had a "movie themed" calendar (you'll get the idea when you see the picture).  This was the December page, and it was one of my favorites:

http://jaxmice.jax.org/news/2009/december2009calendar.html

All of the rest of the 2010 calendar was fantastic (though they're all pretty good).  We have most of the original artwork in my office (except those they've put up around campus on the walls), and they're really amazingly well done.

Elf is one of my favorite modern Christmas movies.

I cried like a baby the last time I watched It's a Wonderful Life.

Die Hard--best Christmas movie ever, and I've always been more partial to Holiday Inn than White Christmas...
