Four Christmases looks funny & DD loves Reese so we could maybe watch this together.

Looking forward to seeing some previews! TFS!

four Christmases should be funny- I like Reese and Vince. We go to see a Christmas movie as a family every year together, but it doesn't look like either of these are for kids. Anyone know of any kid friendly ones coming out this year?

 

[HouseElf]

I have not seen any holiday movies for families advertised yet?!
I am interested in seeing the two mentioned though, will drag DH along - if I give him chocolate he will sit through almost anything :haha:

 

[cipalla]

I will definitely be checking these out!

I live in a small town and we don't get every movie. Four Christmases sounds funny though. Maybe it will come here.

 

[Santa_Elf]

Can't wait to see both of these, But I'm also looking for something to see with the grandkids.

I seen the preview at the theater today for 4 Christmases and it looks VERY, VERY funny. Good cast and PG. Perfect for a family movie.

A Christmas Tale is a French movie that will be released in theatres as of November 14, 2008. It's is going to be playing at the Vancouver International Film Festival in early October and I am going to be going to see it.

It has Catherine Deneauve in it and I am really looking forward to it. I will give you a review once I've actually seen it in early October. :bigsnow:

Anyone who has a little girl at home I'm sure already knows that the Barbie version of A Christmas Carol is coming out on DVD on November 4th (here in Canada anyways!). These movies are all extremely well done, and I have to say I'm looking forward to this movie more than my daughter is! She's only 2 after all ;o)

I love the film "Christmas Vacation" with Chevy Chase.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097958/

Furthermore I also like the films "The Santa Clause" as well as "The Santa Clause 2" and "The Santa Clause 3"
with Tim Allen
And of course I love Tim Allen's "Home Improvement" christamas episodes (not a film, I know, but funny)

I found the original cartoon version of The Grinch at a thrift store yesterday for .50 and yes I still have a working VHS!

 

[aggy]

You know (last year I think it was or the year before that) several of our Dollar Trees had the classic cartoon Christmas movies on VHS - Rudolph, Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, Frosty the Snowman. I couln't believe it. I already had them on VHS, but that was a great find for someone who still owns a video machine (which I still do too - two of them).

 

[Debbieoz]

I was an extra in a wonderful movie that will be coming out. It's called "The Last Ounce of Courage". It's about a time when a town takes back christmas. Not sure exactly when it will come out, but it is great. http://www.lastounceofcourage.com/

I just watched the trailer. It's a tear jerker. I see "Shaft" himself (Richard Roundtree) is playing the bad guy. The trailer says it will be out in 2009,

Four Christmases looks funny. He is my favorite actor, and she is my favorite actress, although they do make an odd couple. :rudolph:

 

[BamaMom]

Looking forward to some great Christmas movies!! But I still love the classics also!
