Favorite Christmas Movie?

[LostLassie]

'Cause no one has anything else more pressing to do two days before Christmas than make a list.

I absolutely have to watch Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story every year. I also usually make it a point to watch White Christmas and Its A Wonderful Life once each.

There is only one answer to this question:

Christmas Vacation.

Die Hard... best Christmas movie ever... Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, and Elf

I like the 1950's version of "A Christmas Carol"

For me Christmas Vacation and Scrooged are must watch this time of year. Tradition and that will never change.

After that it's Bad Santa, Elf, Trading Places and The Ref. Throw in The Muppets Christmas Carol for the little guy.

The wife loves Just Friends and Love Actually. She watches those while I'm at the bar.

If Die Hard is a Christmas movie, so is Lethal Weapon.

Haha, you're right. Lethal Weapon voted #23 best Christmas Movie of all time according to Rotten Tomatoes

Ooops, forgot. Die Hard rated #9

For my part, I think neither is an xmas movie, they are movies which have plots set during late December, but have nothing to do with the holiday.

Almost the exact same list and batting order.

I swap out all the old classic TV shows (year without a Santa Claus etc) for Trading Places it seems (although I do love seeing Jamie's cans and the whole movie in general).

Scrooged has worn thin for me over the years. Bad Santa is much higher on my list.

The Ref is one of the more underrated movies of all time.

Somehow, oddly enough, I can relate to parts of it;

Die Hard, Gremlins, Elf, and Christmas Vacation.
