FriarReb98: \\glad the Albert Finney Scrooge isn't - that, Scrooged and The Muppets Christmas Carol are my favorite Scrooge ones, with the Disney one getting honorable mention

No love for Alastair Sim? For me it's not Christmas until I see the black and white classic with Sim as Scrooge.

PainInTheASP: Emmit Otter's Jugband Christmas is one of the few things that caused me and my brother to stop plotting against each other and actually get along for a little while.

RIVERBOTTOM NIGHTMARE BAND!

/again

I don't think I've seen 'A year without Santa' on TV in at least 30 years.

The_Sponge: Remember how Schwarzenegger porked his ugly maid, knocked her up, and Maria Shriver is about to get millions out of him?

That's karma coming back to bite him in the ass for "Jingle All the Way".

/Had to suffer through it on a flight from Phoenix to Orlando back in 2004.

I liked Jingle All the Way. There, I said it.

FriarReb98: The Onion is prophetic: Weren't several of these listed on the "worst holiday movies ever" list that went green earlier this week?

Possibly; didn't read that thread. Though I do remember the Mickey Rooney as Santa-Rankin/Bass productions (hell, I remember almost ALL of their Christmas shows), and I remember Santa Claus the Movie for the whole "mauve" thing. I'm not sure how people wouldn't remember Jingle All The Way and Ernest Saves Christmas, or especially the Mara Wilson version of Miracle on 34th Street, unless they're oblivious twenty-somethings who've repressed any memory of their childhood. Never heard of the rest, though the Mixed Nuts one rings a bell.

\Surprised that Prancer isn't on this list
\\glad the Albert Finney Scrooge isn't - that, Scrooged and The Muppets Christmas Carol are my favorite Scrooge ones, with the Disney one getting honorable mention

its "puce", not "muave". saw it at the theaters with my dad when i was but a lad. even then, i knew it was a terrible, terrible movie.

Anybody who dares forget about the otters deserves to have a Christmas tree shoved up their ass

wow, I loved J.T. as a kid but I always thought it was J.P. so I could never find it, only saw it once. Has it held up? I remember crying .

didn't even remember it being a christmas movie

Hey look, it's the Big Lebowski!

FTFA: "Winkler was TV's biggest star, portraying the Fonz, not only on "Happy Days", but also on crossover appearances on "Laverne and Shirley", "Mork and Mindy""

Wasn't Happy Days set in the 50s and L&S and M&M set contemporary to their filming (the 70s)? Was the Fonz a Time Lord?

Ive got a Christmas movie memory that dates back to the late 70s early 80s of a Christmas 'movie' or TV special that I am trying to find. Any help would be appreciated!!!

The show is set in the future where Christmas is so commercialized that the 'true spirit of Christmas' is forgotten. The only thing I remember is them singing a song that was to the tune of "The 12 days of Christmas" that ended with the words "Egg nog galactic, and some astro (word I cant remember) juice"

I remember sitting in my family room watching this with my younger brother, who kept pestering me as to when this was going to be over, because the "Star Wars Christmas" movie was on next.

I really want to find out what it was titled, and if I can pick up or download a copy of it, just to prove that I wasnt hallucinating this show.

Thanks!!!

I actually don't mind the 1994 version of "Miracle on 34th Street", but cannot stand the 1973 version with David Hartman.

(*shudder*)

One other thing that I recall, in case it helps, the decoration for the top of the Christmas tree was a dollar sign.

L&S was a spinoff of Happy Days, so I think they were both in the 50s. Don't know about M&M though. That does seem odd.

And I loved Emmett Otter when I was a kid. I'll see if I can find it for my daughter.

Aw, I liked the Dudley Moore Christmas movie when I was a kid. I mean, I know now that it's terrible, but growing up I enjoyed it.

WANT

The Year Without a Santa Claus? I watch that every year!

Hey! Unto You A Child Is Born! (new window)

Yes, Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol was a favorite.
Pretty sure "Babes In Toyland" was a re-make of an older film that the author seems unaware of.
OK so some folks claim they continue to play "The Year Without A Santa Clause" which never became a fave for me.

I do remember the Heatmiser song and Elliot Smith's old band was called Heatmiser.

I just bought Ernest save Christmas on DVD, that's a Christmas classic!

Mork made his first appearance on Happy Days. I remember him freezing everyone in place except Fonzie. No I'm not proud that I know this.

/I was a very sensitive, cat loving little girl when I saw "J.T.," IT RUINED MY LIFE! Thanks farkers.

For the other Emmett Otter fans, it can be live-streamed on Netflix. My 6 year old has been watching it every day for the last 3 weeks. lol

Mork first appeared in Happy Days and messed with The Fonz. He must have been such a hit that they gave him his own show. But M&M was set in contemporary times.

I think it was explained off as some sort of time warp, or something to that effect..

the online adventures of ozzie the elf.




i think it aired once. i taped it and made a vcd out of it. it's pretty great. has drunk gambling reindeer and the elf makes a toy hotrod monster car that belches.

Thank you sir! You are indeed a Gentleman, and a scholar.

Now off to see if its available on video somewhere!!!

Not really forgotten, but this classic isn't really recognized as the Christmas movie it truly is:

Mork time traveled and ended up in 1980 eventually.

Mork: "You like peanuts?"
Fonz: "Yeah"
Mork: "Then you'll love Jimmy!"

My sister and I absolutely loved Babes In Toyland. My favourite part was the bubble popping noise the cars made. I have no idea why.
