I can also get into the Lifetime and Hallmark schmaltzy holiday themed movies. I do love the old movie channels and this time of year brings a bonanza of Christmas movies ... usually. :)<br /><br />Happiest of holidays, and stay warm and safe as the weather turns!<br /><br />Light,<br />Nancy<br />Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10019662451227188065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-36068134564826766712013-12-03T21:38:28.673-06:002013-12-03T21:38:28.673-06:00I guess I have several favorite Christmas movies -...I guess I have several favorite Christmas movies -- Miracle on 34th St with Maureen O'Hara; It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart; The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant.

Saw that for the first time in 1974 in New York when it was bitter cold and I think that was the first ever showing on TV after the movie was resurrected or the patent found or whatever that deal was. We had it on VCR but never used it because whenever we got ready to watch it, it was on TV again. Best line?

It's probably one of his better movies. Lots of shooting and violence, but there are some funny parts as well. I don't like violent films and I enjoy this one. <br />Yes, It's a Wonderful Life is my favorite and it's going to be perfect for our upcoming chilly weekend.<br />Sylvia <br />Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08739086544916478044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-78597843263452399442013-12-03T10:52:41.974-06:002013-12-03T10:52:41.974-06:00I am a total "It's a Wonderful Life"...I am a total "It's a Wonderful Life" junkie. I ADORE that movie, especially the scene you've got pictured, when they are both listening to the same phone and the chemistry and awareness is just simmering out of the pot!!!!! Love it.<br /><br />Never actually seen Die Hard. :) I've somehow escaped seeing Alan Rickman doing one of his best bad guys. Sigh.

Those were their favorite car movies. For the next three weekends they don't know it yet, we're watching Christmas movies...Old Christmas movies. So I'm going to check out The Bishop's Wife and maybe even Pocketful of Miracles. <br />SylviaSylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08739086544916478044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-73093866390497440262013-12-03T08:57:04.768-06:002013-12-03T08:57:04.768-06:00well isn't that strange - I was typing in my n...well isn't that strange - I was typing in my name and the thing posted before I got past the C - hmm- lolchris kenistonhttp://www.chriskeniston.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-68122737990262675422013-12-03T08:55:42.329-06:002013-12-03T08:55:42.329-06:00I have so many favorite christmas movies but they&...I have so many favorite christmas movies but they're all older- <br /><br />I love The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant - I think that's my favorite<br /><br />Christmas in Connecticut with Barbra Stanwyck- that's just a laugh movie<br /><br />Pocketful of Miracles with Bette Davis.

Since I'm in a house of men, one of our favorites is Stalag 17. A WW2 movie taking place on Christmas. It is magnificent and William Holden rocks in this one. Other favorites include Love Actually and Millions. Hugs!Vicki Batman, sassy writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846704675542248648noreply@blogger.com
