    I keep telling my friends that this isn't just a movie, its an experience.
    when the ticket is flying around and the kid is trying to grab it, i seriously caught myself twice actually starting to reach out to grab for the ticket, especially when it flew out the window and got caught in the draft of wind along the side of the train, i was just about to reach forward out of my seat and grab for it!
    it has just been re-released on the imax in 3d again and am defn going to watch it once more!

    My wow moment in 3D was in the opening when the snow was falling. It looked like it was falling in the theater itself. Me head started getting cold it looked so real. I am going to see it again tomorrow.

    Now you guys have me searching the web for the nearest IMAX in my area. I only saw one IMAX movie so far. I kinda felt woozie at first but felt fine after I got into the movie. But that was down in Rockland county, about 45 minutes to an hour from here. I don't know if we have any in this area.

    I voted for Charlie Brown. It seems to have the most well grounded message and relevance, given how so many of the holiday images and fables have gotten commercialized. Plus, the Vince Guaraldi soundtrack is a classic.

    A couple of others that I would also vote for inclusion on the list are Santa Claus Is Coming To Town and The Year Without A Santa Claus. Love that stop motion animation, and The Year Without A Santa Claus has those brilliant musical numbers featuring the Heat Miser and the Snow Miser. And yes, I can hear you all humming those tunes as you read this!

    You're killing me... after all I'm jest a lonely Klingon lookin for a little blood wine and heavy breathin... Jeeze Louise I ain't even from THIS PLANET!! And ahem my good friend and rival Dr. Julian Bahir would make a "passible" Bond. Certainly no worse than Roger "pussypants" Moore if you ask me. But enough of that. When will my penance be paid? When will this vail of toil be lifted? When will I start a new poll to get the heat off me....

    Much love Recov....

    Does The Nightmare Before Christmas count as a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? It's one of my all-time favourite movies, either way.

    Other Christmas favourites not on Worf's list are A Christmas Story (I love the look on the mother's face when that hideous lamp breaks ), Elf and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

    If I have to pick one on the list it would be Trains, Planes and Automobiles.

    Hmmmm. It looks like I have a soft spot for the Holiday Comedies. I never realized that before.

    There was a fantastic XMAS episode of the TWILIGHT ZONE. It was called THE NIGHT OF THE MEEK with the late ART CARNEY. It was one of the few episodes that Serling did on videotape which had just come into existence in the 1960s.

    An other addition for next year's list.

    Will Vinton's Claymation Christmas featuring the California Rasins.

    If you've never seen it, give it a try. It's a hoot.
