On being a moviefile

November 15th, 2009 | contest

We’re running out of Christmas movies, already, that Zoë’s willing to watch.

I think it’s mostly because I’m not quite willing to shell out $16.99 for Dora’s Christmas Carol, and so she’s not quite willing to open up her mind to the Christmas possibilities.

But we’re making progress. And there’s still 40 days to go. In no particular order, here’s our top 10 of jolly movies.

Guess whose is whose and you might just win something. Something meaning a $10 iTunes gift card. Or a mix tape. 1 2 3 4

  • Love Actually
  • Barbie’s Christmas Carol
  • The Family Stone
  • Alvin and the Chipmunks
  • The Santa Clause 2
  • White Christmas
  • The Nightmare Before Christmas
  • Mickey’s Christmas Carol
  • A Charlie Brown Christmas
  • The Ref
  1. one entry per person, yo. Unless you leave a second comment with a twitter or facebook or blog or skywriting link in it. ↩
  2. I’m foregoing 2.5 reduced fat eggnog chai lattes to pay for this and postage, so make with the guesses. ↩
  3. or not. ↩
  4. oh yeah, I guess we need an end date on this one, don’t we? How’s about…next Sunday, 11:59pm, PDT? Cool? Cool. ↩

    The Family Stone
    White Christmas
    The Nightmare Before Christmas
    A Charlie Brown Christmas
    The Ref

    Hers:

    Barbie’s Christmas Carol
    Mickey’s Christmas Carol
    Alvin and the Chipmunks
    The Santa Clause 2
  • Love White Christmas but have to skip over the "Choreography Dance".

    Playing it straight on the guesses even though 2-year-olds are notoriously random.

    Terra
    * Love Actually
    * The Family Stone
    * White Christmas
    * The Nightmare Before Christmas
    * A Charlie Brown Christmas
    * The Ref

    Zoe
    * Mickey’s Christmas Carol
    Barbie’s Christmas Carol
    * Alvin and the Chipmunks
    * The Santa Clause 2
  • Love Actually?
  • I'm going to make a guess here and say that SHE likes A Nightmare Before Christmas.

    So how about we break it down thusly?

    You:
    Love Actually
    The Family Stone
    White Christmas
    The Ref
    A Charlie Brown Christmas

    Her:
    Barbie’s Christmas Carol
    Alvin and the Chipmunks
    The Santa Clause 2
    The Nightmare Before Christmas
    Mickey’s Christmas Carol

    Does this seem plausible to anyone else? :)

    Yours:
    Love Actually
    The Family Stone
    The Nightmare Before Christmas
    A Charlie Brown Christmas
    The Ref

    Hers:
    White Christmas
    Barbie’s Christmas Carol
    Mickey’s Christmas Carol
    Alvin and the Chipmunks
    The Santa Clause 2

    Dora Christmas Carol? REally? Don't we have enough Christmas Carol parodies? If they want to parody Dickens, I'd like to see Bob the Builder pull off Oliver Twist...or how about Barbie's Great Expectations?
  • Yours:
    * Love Actually
    * The Family Stone (which i've never heard of)
    * The Nightmare Before Christmas
    * The Ref
    * White Christmas

    Z's
    * Barbie’s Christmas Carol
    * Alvin and the Chipmunks
    * The Santa Clause 2
    * Mickey’s Christmas Carol

    Both:
    * A Charlie Brown Christmas

    I'd also be willing to put love actually and the Nightmare before Christmas on Z's list ;)

    I've been reading your blog for a while now and I really love your writing. And I loooove the Nightmare before Christmas. What is your name on FB?
  • Love Actually, The Family Stone, White Christmas, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and The Ref are yours. The rest are hers. On the other hand, The Nightmare Before Christmas just might be on her list, as well. Hopefully not.
  • frank
    Love Actually, Santa Clause 2, The Ref, Nightmare Before Christmas, White Christmas, & The Family Stone=yours. Barbie, Alvin, Mickey, & Charlie=hers. At least if she's anything like my niece, that is.
  • I dont wanna win, I just wanted to comment about how much I LOVE Love Actually. SO MUCH.

    Oh, and? Tried your christmas in a cup. SO GOOD.
