Christmas Movies

Ummm... I have to watch Christmas Vacation with the family, it's become somewhat of a tradition. I usually catch 20 minutes here and there of A Christmas Story on TBS or w/e... We usually watch It's a Wonderful Life as well... The only time of year that I can stand to watch Citizen Kane is around Christmas so I try and fit that one in. Last year on Christmas Eve we went to see Night at the Museum, it's no classic, but it was a fun holiday movie.

Other good ones that I watch from time to time:
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Die Hard
Home Alone
Jingle All the Way (hey it's from my childhood... leave me alone)
Elf
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
The Santa Clause

 

The Muppet Christmas Carol ofcourse.

 

Christmas Vacation

only one I need to watch, always make me laugh

 

I always need to watch those old Rankin Bass claymation movies (Rudolph, Frosty, Santa Claus is coming to town).

 

Die hard
Home Alone
Scrooged
Nightmare before Christmas (Covers both holidays )

 

Nightmare Before Christmas
Home Alone.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas. (Both Versions)
Jingle all the Way.
A Christmas Carol.
Christmas Vacation.
A Christmas Story.
And many more. =]]

 

Christmas Vacation is always #1.

 

Yep, play it at work alot at this time of the year

 

I usually just watch what's on network television.
I just recently got a butt load of DVD's when my local Toys R Us closed. A lot of which are Christmas movies and animated, I think I got the Muppets. So no I have no tradition.

 

A It's A Wonderful Life.

BAH HUM BUG!

if i can avoid all christmas movies its been a good holiday. but i normally put Bad Santa on to chase the relatives out of the house...

 

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
A Christmas Story
Home Alone 1&2
A nightmare Before Christmas

And although it sounds very un christmas like, i always like to watch die hard 1 and 2 cause there set around christmas time t:

 

you gotta be ****ing kidding me. those two movies are probably the most believable of all the ****ing xmas movies based solely on the fact that THEY ARENT PERFECT (like all families if you ask me), and they are the only ones i watch. and what is bad about those two anyway... they teach people to keep together with your family, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU ARE ASHAMED/EMBARRASSED OF THEM (real christmas spirit) and to be thankful for them.

you seriously are delusional.

 

Die Hard and Lethal Weapon

 

I say it year after year, and year after year people hate me for it, but the fact is that A Christmas Story still sucks.

I like Christmas movies that aren't about Christmas, like Gremlins and Home Alone

 

I watch Die Hard 1 during the Christmas season.

 

1. It's A Wonderful Life
2. A Christmas Story
3. Christmas Vacation
4. A Christmas Carol (with George C. Scott as Scrooge)
5. Home Alone
6. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
7. Love, Actually
8. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the Boris Karloff classic, and not hte crappy Jim Carrey one)
9. Miracle on 34th Street (the original)
10. White Christmas
11. Scrooged
12. The Santa Clause

All must see come December.
