If Christmas Vacation isn't in your top 5, I'm not interested in your other 4.

Christmas Vacation is a classic.

Christmas Vacation. That's it for me.

It's horrible. 90 minutes of crap wrapped around 2 or 3 good lines.

Watched Die Hard today because of this thread. It's been at least a decade, probably more. Amazing how cheesy the dialogue seems now, but still one of the best action flicks ever.

Definitely

watched it again last night. Top 3 all time action movie with Aliens and T2

Correct, although I don't think time has been as kind to T2 as it has the other two movies.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Christmas Vacation is a classic.

...for me to poop on.

Hell of a lot better than that saccharine waste of time known as a Wonderful Life.

Yep.

Reading the FFA?

 

[Chaka]

Now I have a machine gun.

Ho-Ho-Ho!

That's about as Christmassy as it gets.

Just finished "Jingle All The Way" with the kids. Very underrated.

Finally saw Elf tonight. Liked it.

Does anyone fall off a building.  It doesn't interest me if not.

Bad Santa 2

  I love the original but never saw 2.    Is it good?

Yes it is.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Finally saw Elf tonight. Liked it.

That kid in Santa's lap cracks me up every time. This scene and the midget children's writer scene were classic.

1. Christmas Vacation - this is actually my favorite comedy of all time, Christmas or non.

2. It's a Wonderful Life - the Christmas classic I have to watch every year

3. Elf - Hilarious for the whole family

4. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966 animated version) - my favorite as a kid and still enjoy it

5. Christmas Story - not little kid friendly, but a great movie

Honorable Mention to Home Alone....I could really put it in slot 4 or 5 depending on my mood.

ETA - Scrooged in with Home Alone as well. I personally probably would put it above Home Alone, but I'm a big Bill Murray fan.

4 years later, 1-3 are still the same.  Move Christmas Story up and put Scrooged in at 5.  Die Hard, Home Alone and the Grinch are honorable mentions.

I haven't watched Love Actually yet this year. I'm feeling a tad empty inside. :(  

 

[flapgreen]

Watched The Santa Claus tonight. Still have about 5 left to watch with the kids over the next week.

Finished off Christmas night by watching "It's a Wonderful Life" with my 7 year old boy. He actually liked it and got the message. What a great weekend everyone. 

 

[flapgreen]

watching it now. so good. every scene is classic.

I don't remember watching a comedy with so many scenes between two characters that comes close to being as funny as the ones between Clark and Eddie in Christmas Vacation. One after another that I've seen watching 20 years now and still laugh just the same.

I would argue that movie is the pinnacle of the careers for both actors.  Tailor made roles perfected over a couple of movies.  The exchanges are fantastic with layers of comedy in each scene.

My 11 yr old son got to watch the TV version this weekend for the first time and said, "that is my favorite Christmas movie".  That's without even hearing the complete lines for "Merry Christmas, ####ter's full!" and Chase's rant about his boss or when Ruby Sue says "####tin' rocks".

We watched a few over the weekend.  

Elf - my son's favorite, and probably mine, so we watch this every year.  

Emmet Otter's Jug Bad Christmas - the whole family watched this on Christmas day.  My wife's favorite from childhood. 

Christmas Vacation - the son's first time watching this (and probably my first time actually sitting down and watching the whole thing).  He laughed a bit, and actually rewinded Clark's rant about 4 times and laughed his ### off.  

Scrooged - another of the wife's faves and first time for my son watching it.  He liked this one a bit too.  

This week it's time for me to watch the "real" Christmas movies - Die Hard and Gremlins.

Still say the original Miracle on 34th St has the best ending to a movie ever. Never get tired of it.

Is he ever really Santa?

 

[Dedfin]

Black Mirror White Christmas is far and away the best Christmas movie.
