The Snowman is def a childhood favorite of mine as well.

The Snowman is def a childhood favorite of mine as well.

For very personal reasons it holds an incredibly resonating 'hold' on me and a place in my life at the time it came out and to do this day, the opening bars of Walking in the Air kill me every time.

Denis Leary in The Ref is also an underrated Christmas movie

If we're talking TV Specials, the Beavis & Butt-Head Christmas Special is one of my favorites. Two hilarious shorts parodying 'A Christmas Carol' and 'It's a Wonderful Life'

Why this isn't a yearly staple on MTV is beyond me.

Love Trading Places and Serendipity

 

[Deck Rickard]

I've never watched The Holiday simply because I cannot accept pairing Kate Winslet with Jack Black. In no universe should those two ever end up together. And before you call me shallow, I would remind you that it's a rarity that Hollywood makes a film where the male equivalent of a Kate Winslet ends up with the female equivalent of a Jack Black. Yet it seems like every five minutes, another rom com is released where the drop dead gorgeous goddess ends up with short, pudgy guy who cracks a lot of one-liners.

It's an okay film, nothing earth shattering. It attempts to subvert the audience expectation with it's pairings and it's sickly in its way it bashes it's 'here is what it's like to live in the UK' (yes, it is, if you have £2 million to exist on) over your head. Its a 6/10 but it's mawkish and fairytale reality and if that's your cup of tea, then it's a winner.

Jingle All The Way is an Xmas movie classic with Arnold

Sort this out. Pronto.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

For Christmas specials, the Rankin-Bass Rudolph has been my favorite since I was a little kid. I see complaints often about how they only accepted Rudolph because they needed him, but that doesn't actually happen. The storm happens after they've seen the error of their way and apologized to him.

I'm terms of recent stuff, I loved Ducktales' Last Christmas.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

1 - Die Hard
2 - Batman Returns
3 - Scrooged

10 - Elf

 

[Tg11]

I haven't seen "It's a Wonderful Life" or "White Christmas" or "Miracle on 34th Street".

The only one I haven't watched is White Christmas myself but almost every Christmas film I've watched

 

[Dark Raven]

I'm surprised Trading Places isn't on more people's lists. It's normally a critically acclaimed film. Maybe people forget it took place a lot over Christmas?
