Bernard and the Genie, a UK made-for-tv classic starring Alan Cumming, Lenny Henry, and Rowan Atkinson. The wonderful Ken from Portland gave it to me on VHS. Bernard gets three wishes and lots of trouble for Christmas!

The Night Hanukkah Harry Saved Christmas

[Don Stugots]

Christmas on Sesame Street. Mr Hooper explains Hanukkah

Every X-mas my sister and I would watch these movies. They are children's stories and they still show them only during the holiday season... we never miss them (well, now I do, but she still watches them)

They are hardly holiday movies, but only were played on East German TV during that season, every Sunday afternoon during Advent.

Riverbottom Nightmare Band might be the greatest metal band in recorded history.

years ago, when I was a little boy, every X-Mas Eve they showed this cartoon of the "Little Mermaid". Not the Disney movie, this one was kind of dark.
At one point in the film the Mermaid was told if she wanted to go back to the sea she had to murder the Prince.
I always thought it was strange it only played at X-Mas.

sounds like the movies they would play in East Germany. All the Grimm and Anderson fairy tales were made into movies and looked just as grimsome as the books read.

silly boy, Hitler was long gone when the DEFA studios were established.
It was Honnecker we hailed to.

[GreatAmericanZero]

[brettmojo]

My chick, who is 27, never saw or heard of It's A Wonderful Life until I made her watch it 2 or 3 years ago.

She's so fucking weird.

[razorboy]

I think Ron may have brought it up before, but I grew up loving the Bogart, Ray, Ustinov "We're No Angels". I still watch it every Christmas Eve.

[Don Stugots]

Santa.

[Foster]

ok, now whose older, Santa or Jesus?

I thought they were twins

[Dude!]

two great old films

Come to the Stable with loretta young as a nun trying to build a church in vermont and she does it with mafia money

also Good Sam about a guy who is too good to everyone and his wife resents it and all is resolved

very heartwarming

[jennysmurf]

I don't know how "unknown" this one is, but I love it. I only see it around Christmas on local cable.

The muppets hang out with sesame street and fraggle rock, which was pretty mind-blowing for a kid.
