Anyone enjoy watching holiday classics from the 40's-50's like White Christmas or Holiday Inn? AMC has been running a slew of them this past week if anyone's interested.

Does Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and Dan count as a classic? Actually, does it count as a holiday movie too?

That came out in the mid 80's didn't it? Sure, why not. lol

Funny you mention Die Hard Jim! My wife and I were argueing about whether Die Hard could be considered a Chrismtas movie last weekend. I told her that the fact that the whole movie is centered around John McClane's wife's Christmas party getting ransacked by terrorists makes it a Christmas movie. Plus, there's snow fall throughout the movie.

HTNut,
Die Hard was one of EV's choices. I have the DVD and since you two reminded us that it is a Christmas movie, I'd watch it -- except my 16 month old DVD player died last week. Any recommendations on a Blue Ray replacement deck? Thanks in advance,
Jim

Just another reminder for me to go in and get my eyes checked.

Sorry to hear that about your DVD player Jim! I got a great deal a little while back on a Sony BDP-S550 that has worked pretty well for us. Pretty easy to update software too with the CAT 5 connection. Sony also makes a wifi blu-ray if you're really concerned about updating but lack a connection with models BDP-S360 and BDP-S560. I really haven't kept up with the latest Blu-ray drives after buying mine.

I'm not watching them on AMC (hate commercials) but I am watching them. I adore White Christmas and Holiday Inn both. I also like to watch Come to the Stable. One of the new classics for me is Polar Express which I think is just awesome.
