What’s the best Christmas movie ever?
What’s the best Christmas movie ever?
DAN CHAMBERS, Miamisburg: “ ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ with Jimmy Stewart. It just embodies what Christmas is all about.”
ANDREA RIEGER, Centerville: “ ‘Christmas Vacation,’ definitely. It reminds me of the chaos and fun of family and the holidays.”
MARY BETH FIRESTONE, Monroe: “Mine is ‘Polar Express.’ It’s the true spirit of Christmas. You’ve got to believe — as an adult, you must believe.”
CHARLES MATNEY, Concord Twp., Miami County: “ ‘White Christmas.’ It has top actors like Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney.”
CAROL SALYERS, Trenton: “ ‘Christmas Vacation.’ I’m not your typical, mushy Christmas person. But everybody can relate to someone in that movie. You know everyone has one of those characters in their families.”
JOE ROSS, Cincinnati: “ ‘A Christmas Story.’ I love that movie. I like it when Santa kicks him down the slide, and when he shoots himself in the eye.”
APRIL NEWELL, Springboro: “My favorite is ‘The Nutcracker,’ but it’s not really a movie; it’s a show.”
RYAN STROUD, Cincinnati: “ ‘Jingle All the Way.’ It’s just an all-around fun film. It has an antagonist, of course, but in the end he becomes the protagonist — Sinbad, of all people. And it shows Arnold (Schwarzenegger) has a humorous side.”
JAMIE WYSE, Butler Twp.: I’d have to say ‘A Christmas Story,’ because it’s funny to watch now, because it took place in the 1940s.”
ANN DANIEL, Clearcreek Twp., Warren County: “ ‘Scrooge’ — the original one. It’s just traditional.”
LATOYA GRIER, Dayton: “ ‘The Grinch Who Stole Christmas’ (the Jim Carrey one), because he was a mean man who finally learned the value of Christmas.”
