Annual Movie Traditions

[L3ggy]

What movies do you watch at least once a year? For me it's Halloween on Halloween and Ivanhoe on New Year's Day.

i always watch scrooge (1970) around christmas. been doing that before i could even remember as a family and i still do it.

and around thanksgiving i always watch planes, trains, and automobiles.


i try and keep my watching of vacation down to once a year since a treasure it so much, i dont want to get tired of it (though it may be impossible.)

not a movie, but i always play donkey kong country on snes every thanksgiving as well.

The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers (1974)

Jeremiah Johnson somewhere around Thanksgiving or Christmas.

The Commitments.

I will always- without fail- watch the 1951 version of Christmas Carol (Alistair Sim) on Christmas Eve. I also picked up the peculiar habit a few years ago of watching "Stephen King's IT" some time in the beginning of April. No real reason at all.


And I never miss a Friday the 13th where I don't watch at least one of those.

'A Christmas Story' & 'Die Hard' on Christmas, and 'Groundhog Day' on Groundhog Day

 

[Vanilla Bear]

Since I'm a kid, I always try to watch Home Alone and Home Alone 2 around Christmas. :o Except for one or two years I watched it every year. Just because they didn't show it on TV those years.

But now I'm prepared. I have the BluRay copy on my HDD.

 

[Sicario]

A Christmas Story, I pretty much watch it once every year during the 24hr broadcast marathon during the Christmas holiday.

My family has almost always put that god awful A Christmas Story movie on for Christmas. Yuck. Luckily for me, I'll be spending Christmas this year in NY, just me and my guy, so none of that this time

 

[ApolloBalboa]

Halloween every October
The Manchurian Candidate and The Candidate every election (major or minor)
A Mel Brooksathon every April Fool's Day
A Charlie Brown Christmas (duh) and Goodfellas every Christmas

 

[Mr_Stiffy]

I always try to make time to watch Mannequin on my birthday.

 

[squallumz]

a christmas story for me as well.

 

[HappyHapyJoyJoy]

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Die Hard around Christmas (occasionally Lethal Weapon as well). Often I'll marathon horror movies around Halloween. :dunno:

On Thanksgiving ... Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in The March of the Wooden Soldiers



And when they come to life ... (at 20 seconds to a 1 minute 17 seconds) ...



... it always brings a tear to my eyes. :crying:

Every year on November 5th I watch V for Vendetta.
