Is it too early?
With the phoniest looking snow and snowman in the history of film. That back yard set looks like the temperature is about 90 under all those lights.Hawkcigar said:Even though it's not really a "christmas movie", I watch Meet Me in St. Louis every year. It's hard to beat Judy Garland singing Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
Twinkle said:I guess it is different here in the UK as with no Thanksgiving things start earlier… The Christmas lights went on in Oxford Street last Thursday (it was murder trying to get home on the tube). Selfridges and Harrods even opened their Christmas ‘grottos’ in August for heavens sake!!!

Ecuador Jim said:Not a classic from the traditional perspective, but since Lampoon's Christmas is on the list, I'd toss in "Trading Places" which also takes place during the holiday season.
sweetfrancaise said:Ooh, good one. And in the same non-traditional vein, Planes, Trains and Automobiles is usually the first movie of the season I watch. John Candy brings me to tears every time.
I'm with you on this one. I love it!Prairie Dog said:Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (1963) is another seasonal favorite of mine. OK it's a cartoon, but it has a great score by Jule Styne. The entire film-toon is very sentimental and heartwarming.
