Best & Worst Holiday Movies

Well it seems some holiday movies are not meant to be viewed by Human Beings. They almost destroyed the reputation by making a musical with "A Christmas Story live!" on Fox. Making it into more a musical.
   What was Fox network thinking????

There are other train wreck holiday specials like:

Santa Muscles: Staring Hulk Hogan as Santa with muscles? I don't know, seeing him in Mr. Nanny was not helping either. He needed a Paycheck.
I got nothing for this one but "SHAME ON THE ACTORS"

There's also some Christmas specials like Shrek the Halls. LOL I never saw it but I don't think this one particular special is worth seeing. Then again the sequels weren't great either.

I got nothing as well. It feels as if these two have to date before Christmas day, or give presents.

"I'll be home for Christmas" Is another one, staring JTT trying to get home for Christmas to get a car. There's another one with Home alone, after the crappy Home alone three, there's another one that is around the Holiday Season called: Home Alone: The Holiday Heist. It seems every Home Alone Movie gets worse after the second one. WTH!!!!


  But, even if there are bad movies, there are still some good ones to balance it out.
             "Arthur Christmas" is one of them. About a young boy whose going to become the next Santa, but it seems the elder Santa Claus doesn't want to give up the job. I haven't seen much of it but it is worth the watch. I would put this one on the plus.

   The ORIGINAL Christmas Story that starred Peter Billingsley as Ralph and the late Darren McGavin as the old man.

I've already told about many of my favorites Christmas Stories long ago, and even though the ones we have now aren't as great as the originals, they are ok, and others well, get coal for Christmas.

I loved the Original Home Alone, and Home Alone two was fine. Those would be the only "Home Alone" movies worth seeing and not just because of Macully Culken.

The Bishop's wife is another oldie but goody. Carey Grant and Loretta Young (god rest their souls) were amazing and it seemed to be revolved around Carey Grant's role the angel that helps out the bishop, portrayed by David Nven find some happiness in his life. It's really good. The vintage holiday movies like:
  , Roman Holiday with Gregory Peck, White Christmas staring Bing Crosby as the lead, portraying an entertainer for the armies over seas. Miracle on 34th street was very good. Both versions the 1947 and even the redone version with Mara Wilson and the late Richard Attenborough as St. Nick. Although not many people like the 1994 version, I was ok with it. Actually, I liked both.

  Vintage or just plain amazing, Holiday Movies are special to us. Even if some are rotten like the redone version of "The Grinch" staring Jim Carrey (stick to the cartoon) it doesn't mean they are worth the watch. Maybe it's because of Nostalgia or even because we love them. And some of them don't even focus on Christmas, but is around the holidays like:

Love Actually, where it revolves around many people trying to celebrate the holidays their way. It is worth a watch, I love this movie and the soundtrack. A boy in love, hiding a romance because you're the prime minister or even thinking you might not be in love, and yet try to make it better for everyone else. All in one place.



   Till then: Holiday movies are special to people. Like "It's a wonderful life", "Home Alone" and "A Christmas story" are to me.

Even if the Live Fox version almost destroyed "A Christmas Story" doesn't mean the actors are bad. They did an ok job, but deep down, it is not worth seeing.

Holiday Movies are special to us, no matter what you see. Ciao bloggers, and happy holidays
