fishnsled Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 A Christmas Story would have to be my favourite as well but also enjoy the these, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Carol with Alistair Sims and of course National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. Haven't seen The Polar Express, will have to try and watch that this year. They also came out with the top 10 worst Christmas movie list today. I think I'd like to see the number one pick. 1. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians 2. Silent Night, Deadly Night 3. Jingle All the Way 4. Jack Frost 5. Santa with Muscles 6. Ernest Saves Christmas 7. Home Alone 3 8. Deck the Halls 9. Surviving Christmas 10. Christmas with the Kranks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Speaking of "A Christmas Story", the film was shot in Cleveland, Toronto, Lindsay and St Catharines. The Ontario portions were at the Central Senior Public School in Lindsay, Cherry Street bridge in Toronto, some parts of St Catharines including the Victoria School in St Catharines.

BillM Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) My vote for best Xmas movie! Roy, my mom went to the school that part of that movie was filmed at, it's actually on Niagara Street, just south of the QEW.

The Ontario portions were at the Central Senior Public School in Lindsay, Cherry Street bridge in Toronto, some parts of St Catharines including the Victoria School in St Catcharines. Roy, the part in the flick where they are buying the Xmas tree, was filmed at the bottom of my mother in law's street. Queen and Elmer Ave, in the Beach. You can see the older style street car going by in the background as the father is haggling with the sales man. We love that flick... and getting myself one of their "special awards" has been a goal of mine for quite some time. I NEED to have one of those leg lamps in my window at Xmas... hoping my wife found one for me this year! LOL HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yes Joe I had recognized the Queen streetcar. I hung around the beaches for a long time and at one time lived at 2 Victoria Park...near the waterworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife and I lived in the apartments next to the water works for about a year, before we got married! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different sizes as well! I wanted to get one but was told no, should have got it any ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headhunter Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 That's the one.... it just reeks class and sophistication! And, given that it's probably made in Italy (says "fragile" on the box), you know it will be the envy of all my neighbours... Will, if you ever see one again, but it for me...!

adempsey Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Not sure about best of all time, but I like many of the ones listed like A Christmas Story and Miracle on 34th Street. Others I like: The Nightmare Before Christmas Nativity! Trading Places Gremlins Surprised nobody mentioned Home Alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I personally like Polar Express !! I think it was very well done. I watched it 3D in Imax and it was awesome and funny. karper I found the animation to be creepy, I don't know why, just creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
