Christmas Movies

I am a little surprised there isn't more love for Holiday Inn or White Christmas.

You have really embraced your old-fartedness, haven't you?

 

Seriously, I woun't turn either of those off if I happen across them, but they are not must-watch seasonal films in the way that Wonderful Life or The Sim Christmas Carol is for me.

I was hoping I could get all the way through and no one would put it so I could.

 

Also, no Die Hard? Lame

Die Hard is usually my suggestion when the wife wants to watch a Xmas movie. Needless to say, we usually end up watching Christmas Vacation.

Bad Santa is becoming a classic in our house.

I've watched It's a Wonderful Life just about every year on Christmas Eve, so I'd have to say that.

Before voting, I knew that "A Christmas Story" would have the most votes. I don't get the infatuation with that movie. I like it, but it always seems to be everyone's favorite.

 

As for my favorites: Home Alone, Elf, It's a Wonderful Life, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Christmas Vacation. I can't really say which I like better b/c I always make it a point to watch all of those for Xmas.

 

It may be a generational thing, where those of us that were kids when it came out like it more than younger kids do. To us, it was Messy Marvin from the chocolate milk TV ads and the Kolchak the Nightstalker in a quirky movie about a kid who wants a BB gun for Christmas. It's just so Shep, and so midwest, and so everyman's Christmas. . . It's a definitely a top 10 fave film of mine.

Chuck Brown Christmas on ABC tonight. Just a heads-up for those who voted for this movie!

....and even for those who didn't, I guess....

Am I the only one who ever watched "Nestor, the Long Ear Christmas Donkey"?

[KWs OK for Me]

No Die Hard? What's the deal. It also has the best Christmas song of all time in it, "Christmas in Hollis"
