Favorite Christmas movie?

[Lathum]

Got to watch Christmas vacation and Elf of the plane today. Solid double feature.

[Scoobz0202]

Purely nostalgic, but Home Alone (Is this a Christmas movie?).

I'll always tune into Christmas Vacation and try and catch A Christmas Story, though.

Emmet Otter's Jug-band Christmas.

Really it's the only acceptable answer.

Christmas Vacation

We watched this with my son for his first time this year. Love that movie.

[Swaggs]

Love Actually is a great movie.

[JPhillips]

I always look forward to breaking out Bad Santa.

[PilotMan]

Yep, Bad Santa marks the official start to the holidays for me.

[Julio Riddols]

Fireplace in your TV is one of my new faves..

As far as something with a plot, I prefer Rudolph. I'll never get tired of that movie.

For something offbeat, I like Rare Exports.

Die Hard

[AnalBumCover]

Love Actually is a great movie.
Watching this is a Christmas Day tradition in the ABC household.

[tarcone]

Miracle on 34th Street. Black and white only.

1. Surviving Christmas
Late one night during the holiday season some years ago, this movie came up and I thought what the hell, why not? And I loved it. It's one of those movies that won't ever considered be great, but a lot of people after they see it realize it's better than you might think.

2. Nestor the Long-eared Christmas Donkey
A childhood and family favorite, even though it's the most depressing Christmas movie ever. But it's part of the tradition.

3. Christmas Vacation
Obvious inclusion.

[Izulde]

dola,

the rest of the Top 10 would be filled with various Rankin-Bass productions.

One of my favorites that don't get talked about much....."the ref" with Dennis Leary.

[Radii]

Christmas Story

How the Grinch Stole Christmas is ok.

That's it, typically hate Christmas crap

[sabotai]

One of my favorites that don't get talked about much....."the ref" with Dennis Leary.

I liked that movie too.

As far as feeling like Christmas, it never does for me until/unless I watch the 1984 George C Scott version of A Christmas Carol. Mickey's Christmas Carol is an added bonus, as well as the Rankin-Bass movies.

The Family Man.

A movie about Christmas, that was released on Christmas. What else would you call it?

[ISiddiqui]

Die Hard
Scrooged
A Lion in Winter (it's held around Christmas)
Elf

[sovereignstar v2]

Actually it was released the weekend before Thanksgiving.

[Autumn]

Rudolph - can't be beat.

Christmas Vacation - a close second.

[Logan]

Home Alone, A Christmas Story, and Christmas Vacation. I love Bad Santa as well but it doesn't feel like an Xmas movie to me.

[Chief Rum]

Lethal Weapon

[Chief Rum]

More seriously (or more Christmas-y...), my fave is Christmas Vacation.

[cartman]

Trading Places hasn't been mentioned yet. I think Dan Aykroyd as the drunken Santa with a gun was an inspiration for Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa.

[CrimsonFox]

Love Actually
Bad Santa
The Ref
Elf
Polar Express


Polar Express is VERY FREAKY! The eyes of all the characters just seem black and dead. Like a film of dolls.

The clothes seem flat and untextured too.

Just kinda freaky. :)

It's a Wonderful Life

[AnalBumCover]

Battle Royale 2

[Butter]

It's a Wonderful Life

This. And A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott. He is so over the top, it's outstanding.

[Autumn]

By far the best version, yes.

[Groundhog]

Silent Night, Deadly Night
