Christmas Movie Sayings

#1. If you do good work, it tends to stick around. People still come up to me and say, 'The Ref' is my favorite Christmas movie.'

Denis Leary

#2. 'A Christmas Story' is my favorite Christmas movie.

Paul Pierce

#3. Ranking among the greatest Christmas movie classics, 'It's a Wonderful Life' tells a beautiful story about the priceless value of relationships.

John C. Maxwell

#4. I try to nap through as much of it as possible. I didn't even know about my Christmas movie until this February.

Grumpy Cat

#5. The town of Niagara-on-the-Lake was like something out of a Christmas movie. The trees were bare except for the occasional pine tree that stood out dark green against the white snow.

Nicki Edwards

#6. I wouldn't recommend young kids see 'Speedway Junkie.' It's definitely an age-appropriate movie - dark and realistic and edgy. If young kids want to see me, go see the Christmas movie.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas

#7. I can't remember the last live-action, non-animated Christmas movie.

Bob Newhart

#8. I know a lot of actors picture themselves winning Academy Awards. I really just wanted to do a Christmas movie because it's the kind of movie that I really love to watch. I'm a sucker for the holidays.

Leigh-Allyn Baker

#9. There's never really been a real hood Christmas movie.

Ice Cube

#10. She was an exotic flower amongst the snowdrifts, out of place, a Technicolor misfit in a monochrome Christmas movie.

Thomm Quackenbush

#11. The last Christmas movie I really liked was 'It's a Wonderful Life,' probably. It's sort of a schmaltzy movie, but it's not without its dark moments. It still gets to me every year.

Terry Zwigoff

#12. I think 'Elf' is funny, with Will Ferrell. That's a great Christmas movie.

Robert Osborne

#13. Merry Christmas, movie house! Merry Christmas, Emporium! Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan!

George Bailey

#14. My favorite traditional Christmas movie that I like to watch is All Quiet on the Western Front. It's just not December without that movie in my house.

Tom Hanks

#15. I don't like most Christmas movies. They're pretty bad, though they seem to make tons of money anyway. Like this movie 'Elf,' I got the script for that, and I turned it down right away. Against my wife's better judgment.

Terry Zwigoff

#16. So many Christmas films either are twee, or try and go super edgy, then stick on something Christmassy at the end of the movie.

Peter Baynham

#17. On Christmas, my family and I see a movie and go out for Chinese food. We don't celebrate Christmas in the traditional sense, in that we do not actually celebrate Christmas.

Eden Sher

#18. Mr. Wiggin injected a kind of horror-movie element into the Christmas miracle; to the rector, every Bible story was-if properly understood-threatening.

John Irving

#19. Most Americans acquire dogs impulsively and for dubious reasons: as a Christmas gift for the kids. Because they saw one in a movie. To match the new living-room furniture. Because they moved to the suburbs and see a dog as part of the package.

Jon Katz

#20. I love Christmas. Frosty the Snowman, peace on Earth and mangers, Salvation Army bell ringers and reindeer, the movie 'Meet Me in St. Louis,' office parties and cookies.

Mo Rocca

#21. It's fun when you start a movie, because it's kind of like you get to go Christmas shopping ... you get to make your wish list and you start thinking about what each character needs.

Spike Jonze

#22. One kiss came close to sending the movie theater up in blazes. Sex would burn down the state.

Carolyn Brown

#23. Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Henry Travers

#24. If you look at Christmas movies, there are certain things in them that lend themselves to a 'Harold & Kumar' movie. In particular, the more out-of-this-world things like Santa Claus and flying reindeer.

Hayden Schlossberg

#25. I can't tell you how scary it can be walking onto a movie and suddenly joining this family, it's like going to somebody else's Christmas dinner, everyone knows everyone, and you're there and you're not quite sure what you're supposed to be doing.

John Cleese

#26. The Christmas story has such power and such appeal every year. There are other stories we get tired of. You think of your favorite movie; you don't want to watch it 15 times.

Frederica Mathewes-Green

#27. I think we felt the pressure more at first than this time around. But still you don't want to let anyone down. I never even met Patrick until we had a Christmas party at Ian McKellen's house on the first movie and then I didn't see him again until the premiere.

Rebecca Romijn

#28. We'd watch A Christmas Story over and over because that's the best fuckin' movie ever.

Vi Keeland

#29. Fantastic! Right in the middle of that long stretch between Christmas and Spring Break, your coats are getting dirty, everything's dark, dingy - what a great time for a movie!

John Hughes

#30. Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.

Karolyn Grimes

#31. I realised that you could easily turn any room into a cinema with a projector, so I went on and on at my parents for one. They eventually got me a projector for Christmas when I was ten, and I realised I'd made a ridiculous mistake - I'd forgotten to say 'movie' projector; I got a still one.

Kevin Brownlow

#32. When I was really young, I loved the movie 'White Christmas' - I still do - and I thought Rosemary Clooney was so pretty. When I was, like, nine, I would tell people, 'You know who I kind of look like? Rosemary Clooney.'

Tina Fey
