Growing up it was 'It's a Wonderful Life'. But now I think that 'A Christmas Story' has firmly supplanted itself as the definitive Christmas movie.

Grinch the movie, no way.
Grinch the TV special? Light years better than the movie, but since it was a 30 minute show, and not a movie, no inclusion for you.

Grinch the movie was a shameful money grab and a terrible recreation of what is a classic 30 minute story. Shame on you Jim Carrey. Do a Great Pumpkin movie and maybe I'll be impressed.

Tought to vote on just one. If I want the spirit of Christmas I'd go with A Christmas Story. If I'm trying to prepare for the reality of the holiday season its National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

A Christmas Story by far. That movie is awesome and I watch it every year.
I'm gonna have to go with Christmas Vacation, with A Christmas Story coming in a close second.

Yeah, I meant the TV special. The only reason I liked the movie was because of Jim Carrey.
So yeah, I see your point...you win this round, asshole ;)

One badly missing movie from here is Santa Claus (not Clause the Tim Allen movie).
But it's second to Christmas Story anyway.

Miracle on 34th Street ranks #1 on my list. next on my list isn't a Christmas movie persay, but it warms my heart so Iwatch it then...Going My Way... with Bing Crosby.

Christmas Story without a doubt. I watch it every single year, sometimes even two times in a row.

I would have voted Its a Wonderful life, but the scenes with George screaming at his family having me cringing every time I watch the movie, in a way don't want to from a Christmas movie. Although I still like the movie a lot.
I voted Scrooged. It was funny, a retelling of a classic, and lighthearted while still having serious moments; almost everything I could want in a Christmas movie. It also helps that it came out when I was a kid and HBO and other stations played it 10 times a year.

How can Die Hard not count. Die Hard and Die Hard 2 are the best christmas movies ever. Me and my buddy have a 9 year tradition of watching both of those movies the week before christmas

Godfather 1. :)
I never understood the fanaticism with A Christmas Story. It's a good movie but I thought Christmas Vacation and Home Alone were much more fun (and funny) to watch. Figures.

I love X-mas story...watch it every year......but....home alone always makes me think of X-mas even if i watch it in the summer.

Sorry, didn't include the porno because it didn't fit the criteria...like the 30 minute Grinch, Charlie Brown, Rudolph, Frosty, etc.

Just an aside, I went out to Best Buy yesterday and looked for Scrooge. They have four copies of The He-Man/She-Ra Christmas Special but no Scrooge. :mad:

On the animated front, I would also throw in Frosty the Snow Man. As a kid we always anticipated Frosty, Charlie Brown and even Rudolph.
For some reason they used to run Wizard of Oz in the weeks before Christmas. It's not a Christmas movie, but I associate watching it over the holidays each year.

Until this poll, I never realized that just voting could bump a thread poll. I always thought that just posts could cause a bump.

Since his tongue played such a prominent role in A Christmas Story, what other acting leads were available to him?

Bad Santa is easily my favorite. Certainly not a family friendly movie, but I watch it 2-3 times every year and it still cracks me up. There are so many good quotable lines. BBT makes the movie.

The Muppet Christmas Carol is simply brilliant and the best christmas movie ever.

It's a great movie because it shows someone at their breaking point. If you took that scene out of the movie it would take alot of the core of the movie I think
