The only ones I can think of are animated classics like Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph, Grinch, Mr. McGoo's Christmas Carol, etc. (I mentioned some of these under "Life Lessons" http://shortypjs.blogspot.com/2005/12/christmas-movies-part-i-life-lessons.html) But classic, full-length Christmas films of the 1960's? Let me think. Bell, Book, & Candle? Nope, that was 1958. I'm open to suggestions!MaryBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412656596874731198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254331.post-13640981569929145652009-09-13T16:02:26.219-04:002009-09-13T16:02:26.219-04:00I found your blog googling Christmas movies of the...I found your blog googling Christmas movies of the 1960s and it's funny that there's not ONE on the list made in that decade. Does such a thing as a good '60s Christmas movie exist?

Then again, there's never a bad time for Jack. My 2 year old could identify Jack's face long before Cinderella or any of those (no, before you call social services, we do not let her watch the movie. I've just got some Jack peraphernalia, is all).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254331.post-1135169840894370222005-12-21T07:57:00.000-05:002005-12-21T07:57:00.000-05:00I love A Christmas Story and Love Actually.

And the remake of Miracle on 34th Street, which we've already agreed to disagree on.<BR/><BR/>Also I forgot to comment on the pre-1960 one the 1955 We're No Angels. Peter Ustinov is brilliant (yeah, and that Bogart fellow too). Very funny movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254331.post-1135167381118677842005-12-21T07:16:00.000-05:002005-12-21T07:16:00.000-05:00Whew! Ass!

I know it revolves around Jack trying to spread Christmas to the Halloween folks, but, still - nope, it's a Halloween movie to me. I didn't find it dull; I rather enjoy watching it. At Halloween. But I can see how some people would stick it in the Christmas pile.<BR/><BR/>A lot to love about Elf, though. Like when he goes ballistic over the store "Santa Claus."

Laughed my donkey off - after expecting it to be not very funny at all.<BR/><BR/>Notice that "Nightmare Before Christmas" is missing from your list. An error? Or did you think it was as dull as I did?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
