Henry Rifle Forums

Of course we've talked about Christmas Story on the forum but what are some others you folks enjoy?
Every year we watch John Ford's classic "3 Godfathers" starring John Wayne. If you have seen it I highly recommend it. We also like Elf and without fail Christmas Eve we watch A Christmas Carol starring Alistair Sim.

Of course,"you'll shoot your eye out kid" !!
I also like It's a Wonderful Life. It's a Christmas classic. Still chokes me up a little at the end

I remember watching a version with Patrick Stewart that was good too.

Ya that ending is tough to get through.

Easily....."It's a Wonderful Life" is always a must along with some eggnog.

"White Christmas", 1954. Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen. I saw it in the movies that year when it first was released. A theater in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Ho Ho Ho......... Now I have a machine Gun

I like when Nick throws George & Clarance out of the bar and rings the cash register saying "I'm giving out wings "!!

Capra's It's A Wonderful Life is at the top of that list. George C. Scott was great as Ebenezer Scrooge, so was Patrick Stewart. For a fun change of pace, we also enjoy Bill Murray in Scrooged.

Can't forget National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!!! Clark Grizwald shows us what not to do !!!

I've never seen How the Grinch Stole Christmas! But if I did it would be my second favorite Christmas movie.

I've only seen it once, but it does have an uplifting message. I loved the ending.

For our household, in order:

-It's a Wonderful Life
-Christmas Story
-Home Alone #1
-Home Alone #2

It's a family tradition, lol.

Great choice.

Family Man is one of my favorites too although maybe not officially a Christmas movie.

I get tired of Christmas music pretty quickly, but Boris singing Mr. Grinch is the best!!
