[Dont Toews Me Bro]

Which of these beloved Christmas classics do you enjoy more?

I prefer It's a Wonderful Life. I think it's a great story that still gets me at the end every time.

I’ll always enjoy Its a wonderful life the most. It was the first Christmas movie I watched in English (with translations) and than eventually without translations. Great story and one of my favourites to watch

Red Ryder BB Gun for me.

For whatever reason, Wonderful Life just never resonates with me on the level it does with most others.

Its a wonderful life is such an awesome piece of story and character and it remains as one of my favorites. Christmas story was brilliant and I can watch it everytime it comes on. The sequel was horrific.

Do you mean A Christmas Carol (the classic with Scrooge and the Ghosts)?

It's a Wonderful Life is the better film but the one my family watched/watches every year is A Christmas Story.

A Christmas Story AINEC.

“You’ll shoot your eye out kid.”

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

easily A Christmas Story.

That and Christmas Vacation are the AINEC best xmas movies

I just can't get through "It's a Wonderful Life". And my mom, who grew up during the classic movie era thinks it's a B movie and loves "A Christmas Story".

That one would get my vote. Though here goes my annual plug for A Child's Christmas in Wales with Denholm Elliot.

I would vote for "Scrooge", the version of "A Christmas Carol" with Alastair Sim.

CTV in Canada always airs it on Christmas Eve.

Yeah, A Christmas Carol basically defines Christmas to me. That and the animated Rudolph special.
