Anyone else addicted to....

[EngTeach]

Anyone else addicted to corny, sappy Christmas movies? I watch them every year and end up boo-hooing half the time. I also love the holiday episodes of old and new Tv shows.

Hi ET,

When I was little I used to watch the Wizard of Oz every Xmas. Still love it now.

Hey engteach, you sound as sad as me. I have a selection of xmas films which I watch every year, including: Scrooged, National Lampoons xmas vacation, The Grinch, The santa Clause, Home alone, Jingle all the way and one of all time favourites ELF. And as for christmas tv episodes, I've watched The Vicar of Dibley the Christmas lunch incident about 600 times. I also like 'The greatest store in the world' and 'Flint Street Nativity'.
Strangely enough, another favourite to watch at xmas even though it isn't an xmasy film is 'Arsnic and old lace'. It's well before my time but I got it for my mum one xmas and it's become the tradition to watch it.

"Its a wonderful life" has got to be the best one! Really schmaltzy but great!

We have 2 channels here in the US Lifetime Tv for women and the Hallmark Channel that produce their own made for Tv movies. I love them along with the classics you all mentioned. These are about families finding their way back together or an orphan finding a family or some ridiculous take on A Christmas Carol-crabby TV exec gets the spirit or some such thing. They are goofy and sappy but i watch them anyway.
Glad to know i am not alone.

Hi tiggerblue,

I am watching right now a mini-series called the Tin Man. It is a spin on The Wizard of OZ. It is on the SCI-Fi channel. Seems interesting. My students sais it was good as did my sis-in-law. If it's any good I'll let you know so you can be on the lookout for it there.
