    So what is yours? I love Christmas Story, of the newer ones I actually find Fred Claus not as bad as I thought it would be. I am also quite fond of Holiday Inn, I think I need to go out today and see if I can find it on DVD.

    One movie that aint my favourite any more is "its a wonderfull life". I remember back in Omaha, when we only had three TV channels, we had IAWL playing on all three networks at the same time!!!! I definitly experienced WAWL overload.

    I am surprised that "Holiday Inn" is not shown more often as it pertains to pretty much all our holidays (and I still have a big crush on Marjorie Reynolds -- sigh).

    One of the movies I was so disappointed in was Bad Santa. So bad I could not watch the whole thing. :(

    It simply would not be Christmas without both the Charlie Brown Christmas and Ruldolph. Been watching them every Christmas season and probably always will.

    Elf is one of my favorites, but I also tend to like "alternative" Christmas movies like Die Hard and Edward Scissorhands.

    "It's A Wonderful Life" is my favorite movie period! I usually only watch it around this time of year, but it remains my favorite move of all time. I don't even go to church, but I love this movie!

    For a more recent holiday favorite, I'd have to say "The Polar Express". I also can't go without watching "Christmas Vacation" for a good laugh ever year.

    "White Christmas" is my all-time, hands-down holiday favorite.
    I love every song in it!!!! Rosemary Clooney is awesome!

    A car that we owned at the time was used in Home For the Holidays. It was Charles Durnings car.

    ...wait the wood panel station wagon, the muscle car or the car used at the toll booth leaving the airport? Either way too cool.

    My all time favorite scene toss up: When the father hoses down the in-laws fight on the front lawn during the football tossing.
    Dumping the turkey on the sister's head & lap.

    It was a grey 1984 Olds 88. We got it from my father -in-law who kept his cars in immaculate condition.

    Don't remember a wood-panel station wagon but the muscle car was Robert Downey's.

    Here is a pic of them in our car. (We kept the compass :D)

    My favorite holiday movie has got to be Scrooged, with Bill Murray.

    Hilarious take on the classic Christmas Carol story.
