More Christmas movies

I ran across an article about The World's Most Obnoxious Xmas Comedies tonight. Is it a coincidence that I own three of them? Ghostbusters 2 (how could I have forgotten that one the other day, particularly since I'd just watched it!)? Also, Jingle All the Way, not a great movie, by any means, but not THAT bad. And Christmas With the Kranks--I love this movie!

And looking at my original list, I see that I forgot White Christmas. I put Holiday Inn on the original list, but not White Christmas. And I like Miracle on 34th Street, but I've never been a fan of It's a Wonderful Life. Bob loves A Christmas Carol, but I can take it or leave it (mostly leave it), and the same with the George C. Scott version, Scrooge, which I bought for Bob this year. Ooh, and Scrooged! I haven't seen that for years!

So, a new, better list of Christmas movies (Christmas movies I like, not an exhaustive list of Christmas movies, obviously):

  1. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
  2. Die Hard
  3. Home Alone
  4. Home Alone II
  5. Jingle All the Way
  6. Ghostbusters 2
  7. Nightmare Before Christmas
  8. White Christmas
  9. Holiday Inn
  10. Christmas With the Kranks
  11. Love Actually
  12. Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas
  13. Miracle on 24th Street

Here's another Christmas movie article: Christmas with the cranks, or "anti-Christmas movies." It only includes two from my list (Die Hard and Nightmare Before Christmas).

I found the book "Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas" at a garage sale and added it to my keeper books because I enjoyed the movie. Ann C.
