Mine exactly!!! We watch them year round. Last night the Grinch was on TV in HD and I DVR'd it. My God the detail, vivid colors, no scratches!!!!! I'm speechless to describe how breathtaking it was. Did anyone else watch it?Originally Posted by keeunjames
It was amazing.

I also adore all those little old Christmas cartoons, the ones from like the 60's and such; they look like little wood carvings or something. (just woke up, can't put my finger on any names or who makes them.)
And definitely Frosty the Snowman, the original form 1969 with Jimmy Durante as the narrator.
I had it on VHS when I was little and for some reason it's always stuck with me. The scene where Frosty melts still gets me teary eyed!
??If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.? - Michael Jackson
Yes yes!! I think you can get it on dvd now. I loved that movie. Used to watch that and The Little Drummer Boy, one after the other.

Amahl and the Night Visitors
"The Year Without a Santa Claus" with the Heat Miser and Snow Miser is my absolute fave.
Love 'em all:
Frosty
Rudolph
Charley Brown
&
Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol
I know I am going to catch hell for this but:
A Very Brady Christmas! Especially the cheesy ending when they sing O Come All Ye Faithful and Mike comes out of the collapsed building.
A Christmas Story and It's Christmas Again Charlie Brown are also my favorites!
Renowned Death Hag
It just isn't Christmas without "A Christmas Story." I double-dog dare ya to skip watching this classic.
with razzleberry dressing!
OMG Hox.....not Christmas Evil....me and hubs watched it the other night on FearNet and I was dying laughing.....that and feeling creepy.....the end was great though....
Rankin Bass? They did Rudolph.
My fav?
hmmm. I profess a love of Opus and Bill: A Wish for Wings That Work.
The only Bloom County animated special. Not available on DVD- But I have a copy on VHS.

My sis tried to order a copy of it for me for Christmas one year, apparently it was only out on VHS. For some reason the company she ordered it from ended up not being able to send it, don't know what the deal was, but I'd sure love a copy of it.

There's more to the truth than just the facts. ~Author Unknown
I love the ending! Did you know most of the Christmas stuff came from the director's own collection?
Evidently, 'Christmas Evil' is one of John Water's favorite films.
** I haven't seen this-but 'Two Front Teeth'
It is about an airplane that is brought down by a flying
creature with a glowing nose. Santa is a vampire who puts people on his list and kills them. He has an army of zombie elves.
You always have the best info....I gotta say the scene at the courthouse when " Santa " goes ballistic had me in stitches......the fake ax was tooooooo much.....LOL
Did you notice the scene when the parents go after 'Santa'-the director made it look alot like the scene in 'Frankenstein' where the villagers go after the Monster?
That`s when hubby lost it.....he wanted me to turn it off and I said HELL NO.......I have never seen anything like it........LMAOOOOOO.....and where the hell did those torches come from.....I mean he`s hugging the kids one minute and running for his life the next with Frankenstein parents......
Renowned Death Hag
...with no hesitation I say "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" - the cartoon NOT the movie!
I actually worked with someone who looked like Cindy-Lou Who.
I also love A Christmas Carol with Alistair Sim, excellent!

It's a wonderful life.
Santa Claus conquers the martians.

I really don't care if I catch hell for it or not...I love Jim Carey and will til the day I die...He absolutly personified the Grinch...I love both versions...They are both xmas staples in my home...
Oh, I forgot Olive, The Other Reindeer it is really clever and cute!
A Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation..though I do have a soft spot for It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol starring Patrick Stewart.

A Christmas Story! Meatloaf, Beatloaf-I hate meatloaf!
Can't really much to what's already been mentioned, but a special big-up for the original Scrooge movie with Alastair Sim - by far the best version for me. And A Christmas Memory the TV movie version of Truman Capote's short story with Geraldine Page. That's quite lovely. Finally, a couple or so years back the BBC made a version of The Snow Queen for Xmas which was stunning. If this is on DVD do buy it.
Momma's litttle piggy..show momma how the little piggy eats! LOL absolutely love this movie!
Renowned Death Hag
For me its got to be: Santa Claus The Movie! I love Dudley Moore ! I have a nickname for him: Cuddly Dudley Moore and he's so cute as a elf!
Those are my favorites along with Christmas Vacation oh and the Charlie Brown Christmas.
i like George C Scott and Bill Murray in their respective roles as Scrooge.
Good stuff.
Rudolph is on tonight.
Renowned Death Hag
Call me old fashioned but I have always liked
A Charlie Brown Christmas.
When near the end Linus Quotes the Scripture of
the Gospel of Luke. Just seems very nice to me.
Almost all named above! I do have to agree with ShatteredMirror and the Alistar Sims version of Scrooge ~ the best.
I am so corny, I have the Christmas Story on for 24 hrs. when they run it on TBS!!!!
I just found out that they are having the Polar Express in 3D! I know what I'm buying myself for Christmas
Yep. CBS. in hi-def.
Olive is sweet and reminds me of my late JR terrier, Coorsie!
Apart from It's a Wonderful Life, I love The Muppets Christmas Carol. "There goes Mr. Humbug, there goes Mr. Scrooge...."
Also, I've watched Love, Actually for the last two Christmases, and probably will again this year!
Senior Death Hag
It's a Wonderful Life, without a doubt is top, followed by Scrooge with Alistair Sim, followed by Miracle on 34th Street - the old one, where Natalie Wood is a little girl
But also like Polar Express, Home Alone and as for Elf - it makes me laugh out loud no matter how many times I've seen it!!!
