Holiday Movie Fans Thread - Just about that time of year again

The movie (I think in the U.S it was a TV show) I always watched when I was a little kid was called "It almost wasn't christmas"... I really, really love that movie!
Unfotunately it seems that it never came out on dvd or VHS and they're not showing it on TV anymore because it's so old. :(
I'd do almost everything to see that movie again *sigh*
 
I'm watching Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

It's so funny to see Matthew Laurence as a little boy and then the girl from the Torkelsons and An Eye for an Eye.. I forget her name.

And National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is a must for me too :lol: Love it :lol:
 
Aww, While you were sleeping is such a cute movie. Im glad she got with the other brother :love:
 
It's abit late now, but, I loved A boyfriend for Christmas. It was adorable. Another one I love and try to watch every year is A Holiday Affair . I'm dying to see Undercover Christmas , but, I can't find it anywhere and it hasn't been shown in the UK yet
 
I have them all as well! They are so great to own. I loved Ethan Embry as Rusty in Vegas Vacation. Him winning all those cars just by putting a dollar in a slot machine :eek: I wish I could do that!

Rusty: I put a dollar in, I got a car. I put a dollar in, I got a car. I put a dollar in, I got a car. I put a dollar in, I got a car.


I love the part when they go to the hoover dam.

Hoover Dam Guide: I am your dam guide, Arnie, please don't wander off the dam tour and please take all the dam pictures you want. Now are there any dam questions?
Cousin Eddie: Yeah, where can I get some damn bait?

:lol:
 
Blues- Me too, I like watching Christmas type of movies. I also like " Undercover Christmas" tv movie also. That was a good one.
 
I am excited to see the new Nancy Meyers movie! It has a holiday feel to it...it seems like it's going to be this year's Love, Actually! I think the trailer looks too cute! I also saw that they are doing a give away in coordination with its release. Here's the link, in case you want to enter. All you have to do is create a video saying where you would go for a change in scenery & why. Seems like a cool way to get $2500 for a trip!
 
I just watched both the Home alone movies yesterday, I really like the first one but the second one has some funny parts as well. Never seen the 3rd one before.
 
Okay, turns out I do too, I was looking through my collection - I seriously don't remember ever getting it though. :embarrassment: :lol:
 
:lol: Oh yeah, I remember all those! :lol: In the Martha Stewart thing she always has something covering her breasts somehow!

And the sweaty balls thing always cracks me up! Like how could they not know? ;) Eeew.. just picture that. :eek: ;)
 
Yeah it's a great movie. But if you are watching it with your kids be carefule when Steve Martin is at the car rental booth! :eek: I think he says the F-word about 20 times in a row! It's hilarious though.
