    Ok - Besides "Cars" what's your favorite Christmas Movie?

    I love the old Classics, "Rudolph", "Frosty" etc...

    Polar Express is pretty awesome!

    Christmas time has been tough the last few years...and I hate to admit it but the irreverant "Badder Santa" is one I usually watch this time of year...it makes me laugh :p

    I never miss 'Christmas Story" love that movie. "You'll shoot your eye out" great stuff. Ralphie Parkers quest for a Red Rider BB gun. Now a classic. Its a Wonderful Life never hurts either.

    Definitely "A Christmas Story". IIRC there's at least one Terraplane featured, I believe in the junkyard/alley where Ralphie gets in the fight.

    "One Magic Christmas," 1985. Harry Dean Stanton as a Christmas angel, dressed and black and sitting in a tree is priceless. :D

    Speaking of Chistmas Story, what kid wouldn't want a Zeppelin.

    How can you go wrong it was written by Shep the man himself. Love Jean Shepherd. Thats a fun movie. Even in the 60's when I was a kid going to the department store to see Santa was a big thing. And the toys were way better back then.

    A Christmas Story is a great movie. Nobody could tell a story like Jean Shepherd. Anther great old movie at Christmas is Babes in Toyland with Laurel and Hardy.

    Miracle on 34th Street I liked the best. Christmas story a close 2nd and a series of claymation specials was always fun too.

    BTW, Did anyone ever notice that in the movie 'A Christmas Story" that there was a Terraplane in one of the scenes where Ralphie is beating up Scutt Farkas? If you look in the background, There is a black 37 parked by a sidewalk.:) Another reason it was a great movie.

    Watched a couple of good ones on Turner Classic Movies last night- The Shop Around the Corner, 1940, with Jimmie Stewart and Margaret O'Sullivan (or something like that) as co-workers at a store who are at each other's throats at work, but unbeknownst to either of them, are secret pen pals falling in love with each other. Followed by a later version of the same story, 1949, called "In the Good Old Summertime", starring Van Johnson and Judy Garland, this time set in a music store, same story line (and some of the same lines). There was a recent version of it as well, starring noted babe Meg Ryan and some guy, emailing each other. After watching the two last night, it occurred to me how great an actor James Stewart was, and also how tragic was the loss of Judy Garland before her time.

    "The Christmas Gift", a TV movie, as I remember John Denver and a Hudson Taxi.

    Its a wonderful Life, Jimmy Stewart runs off the road in a Hudson touring car.

    Miracle on 34th ST, in the opening has a 46 Hudson sedan parked in the street.

    I like any Christmas movie with a Hudson in it.

    I'd have to say Christmas Vacation would be my favorite. However as I am typing this, the little ones are watching the Cars DVD for the 2nd or 3rd time today
