Part Two "The Junky's Christmas"

Someone already said it, but Nightmare Before Christmas is a classic.. Five Star..
Mine would be
It's a wonderful life
Bad Santa
Nightmare Before Christmas
The Grinch
Home Alone
For some reason I've always really disliked Nightmare Before Christmas. And I've never managed to watch It's a Wonderful Life right through either. Agree with whoever said Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, it really wouldn't feel like Christmas morning if one or more of the stations didn't have it on.
It is definitely a classic, love itQuote:

Grinch animated classic with Karloff, or modern live action with Jim Carrey??Quote:

Just to add another one, Miracle on 34th Street, the original is the best though I do have a sneaking preference Dickie Attenborough in the remake over Edmund Gwenn. Can't find a decent YT clip though.
bad santa is brilliant.
f*k me santa, f*k me santa, f*k me santa :D
Come to the foot.ie christmas meeting up and I will show you that line in sign language!! :DQuote:

I saw the Nightmare Before Christmas last year for the first time and I agree it is great. Have never seen the Grinch. As I said our gaff is manic from 2 days before Christmas until 2 days after so I dont get to see much telly.
Just watched it's a wonderful life. Probably only the 2nd ever black and white film to watch in full(the other being To Kill A Mocking Bird which I had to watch for leaving cert:D). Not bad at all.
Agreed..Quote:

Silgoman, you would be surprised man, seriously, film didn't just get automatically good because they were in colour. There are some gems out there in black and white.Quote:

And remember colour film was around surprisingly early (at least the 1920's if not earlier) many directors chose to make films in B&W because they often looked better this way than in colour. I Mean, a film noir in colour just doesnt have the same effect.Quote:
