Just watched ‘Violent Night’ as our Christmas flick.

Not bad.

For me its a toss up of either "It's a Wonderful Life" or "NL Christmas Vacation"
The wife likes "The Santa Clause with Tim Allen" and The first two Home Alones
The kiddos like the Home Alone as well and "The Star"

LOL… great movie
Die Hard is the number one Christmas movie in Sweden - you can find it on multiple channels!

Evidently many Swedes have an unusual sense of humor... crazy grin

A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim.

I've watched it almost every year on Christmas Eve for the last 50yrs. Last night was no different.

Only one???
There’s probably a dozen that are holiday favorites.
It a Wonderful Life
NL Christmas Vacation
Scrooged
Miracle On 34th Street
It Happened On 5th Avenue
Pocketful Of Miracles
Donavans Reef
Either or telling of Scrooge, and the Muppets version too.
Probably a couple others that are escaping my mind!
Not to mention the kids shows on TV
Frosty The Snowman
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
Charlie Browns Christmas
And my biggest favorite, The Grinch
The Old classics from the 60s. I’m not a fan of the remakes.
I remember how even after we had grown up, we’d be out in the garage working on something, and Mom would call on the phone to tell us “such & such” is coming on TV.
We’d drop everything to go in and watch it with the whole Family.
It always made me happy, and I know Mom loved that we watched with her.
Like I said many times before, I wouldn’t trade my life for that of a prince!
One other thing, just because the movie happens on Christmas, doesn’t mean it’s a Christmas Movie! “Die Hard” and Lethal Weapon” are not Christmas movies!
They’re Action Movies which take place on Christmas.

Can't say for sure but my guess is "The Three Godfathers" movie JamesJr is talking about is this one, not the "Godfather" mafia movie and it's two sequels...

Another favorite, but I can’t remember Christmas being part of the plot!
Did it take place around Christmas or something?
I honestly cannot remember that it happened on Christmas.

Really?
That’s something that had always aggravated me, when big broadcasting bought the rights to, what I consider Christmas Classics!
When I was a kid, before cable, the big 3 would show Frosty, Rudolph, the Grinch, Little Drummer Boy And the others during the Christmas season
I seem to remember that nobody “owned” these shows, and each of ABC, NBC & CBS each showed these stories at different times, sometimes more than once.
Like I said, we knew when they were gonna be on, and planned ahead to watch as a family. It was always, to me, one of the highlights of the season.

TRH, I don't what to say about anyone who would confuse a John Wayne movie with something else.

LOL. Oh, well, you see, there were three movies in the Godfather Trilogy, and I assumed that's what you were referring to. I didn't know John Wayne made a movie called The Three Godfathers.

A Christmas Carol, the 1951 version with Alistair Sim.

The Mrs. and I watch it every Christmas Eve. A holiday tradition of ours.

It was suggested that we watch the colourized version last night. My reply was "absolutely not!".

And you call yourself a 24hr Campfire member? confused
Holy smokes, I thought that being a Duke fan, and a basic knowledge of his movies was one of the requirements for joining! grin
It’s a great movie, but then, I guess that applies to any movie with Duke and John Ford.

There are three movies called The Three Godfathers, there are two versions earlier than the John Wayne version and they all have a slightly different take to them. If you run across either of the earlier ones take a look at them, they are both good in their own way.
