What's Your Favorite X-Mas Movie?

I'd have to go with A Christmas Story. There hasn't been too many other movies I laughed as hard as I did when I saw it for the first time. I still find the movie pretty good today. I think I'd put It's A Wonderful Life second, followed by National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation third.

Hands down has to be The Ref.
Denis Leary in full-on rage mode. It's an instant classic.

**sweetbee** · November 23, 2007, 07:49pm

Definitely The Christmas Story! Then maybe How the Grinch stole Christmas (the old school version with Boris Karloff narrating.)

**wolfsfang** · November 23, 2007, 08:32pm

my top 3 would no doubt be these movies I love to see

Gremlins
Black Christmas (1974)
Muppet Christmas Carol

hmmm i have not seen any ads on tv about home alone or die hard, is the world comming to an end??

Definitely National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Sheer laugh-out-loud funny every time. Chevy Chase can do deadpan with the best of 'em.

**TheShadow** · November 23, 2007, 10:24pm

Home Alone

J'ai rencontré le Père Noël
Batman Returns
The Family Stone

**gnewton34** · November 23, 2007, 10:36pm

It's a toss-up between National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story

**Mer-Man's Minion** · November 23, 2007, 10:46pm

I'm with TheShadow. "Home Alone".

**Lion-O** · November 23, 2007, 11:33pm

Favorite X-Mas movie: Die Hard.

**Mer-Man's Minion** · November 23, 2007, 11:40pm

I've seen someone else here refer to "Die Hard" as a Christmas movie, but it sounds like it's just an action movie where part of the events take place at a Christmas party. Doesn't qualification for "a Christmas movie" mean that the holiday itself is a major player and not just a background setting?

**Fallen_Master** · November 24, 2007, 12:50am

wow this is a tough one for me.

Its a wonderful Life
Jingle all the way

and even if its not a Christmas movie per say but it gets close in my book due to somebody going through hell to get to their family for a holiday.

Plains, Trains and Automobiles.

Ditto. This is the epitome of great Christmas time movies. My family and I have all watched this movie every single year for as long as I can remember, whether we're together or not.

Definately Home Alone

**Vega** · November 24, 2007, 06:13am

The Santa Clause with Tim Allen, part one...not the horrid sequels.

**King Hsss** · November 24, 2007, 08:39am

Christmas Vacation by far! "Merry Christmas, ****ter was full!!"

**Eamon** · November 24, 2007, 10:05am

Oh it's gotta National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!!

**Wacky Martin** · November 24, 2007, 10:16am

Batman Returns!

**Christophalophalos** · November 24, 2007, 10:47am

National Lampoon, Jingle All The Way and Batman Returns for me

**sathomaso** · November 24, 2007, 11:09am

Thanks as your tastes are also exceptional!

I also bought the same tape & PO'ed that is was edited, so I began my quest to find the actual Region 1 DVD release that was made about 7 years ago. Amazon has them once in a great while but I refuse to pay the outrageous prices people want (lowest I've seen was last year $350), even tough I've heard that it is unedited. Plus I can't believe I forgot to add these to my list;

Christmas on Sesame Street (With the all time best of Bert & Ernie selling each other prize position to get the other something great. And mister Hooper giving them each their stuff back Ernie's Rubber Duckie & Bert his paperclip collection)

Pac Man Christmas
Smurf all of their Christmas episodes

It's a shame Cartoon Network stopped showing these classic animated gems as my family & I always Tivoed them & watched them over the course of the holidays.
