OT: Greatest Christmas movie ever

[AgaveMaria]

DIE HARD.

A  tale of a good guy who goes out of his way to help people who are in trouble. His helper loves Twinkies.

A good Christmas Story.

I beg everyone to please not watch “A Wrestling Christmas Miracle.”  I’m usually a sucker for a wrestling movie, but this might be the worst movie I’ve ever seen.

I love everything about this movie, but it may make more sense if you drink a bunch of the bourbon before the movie.

I see why you like it, two minutes in they say "drilling as we speak."  You and Cael must watch this together every December.

Good movie, so was the bourbon!

You said might be- to be sure check One More Shot. We thought Dan Hodge was the only one close to being an actor. I saw the clip of this one (Miracle) and thought the kid was the only one that could act.

A Christmas Carol.

Many great versions, not only the greatest Christmas story ever, but in the running for the greatest story ever.

Discussion officially over

Gremlins.  It teaches you the valuable lesson of properly taking care of your presents.

You beat me to Gremlins!

A Christmas Story is a classic.   It has everything.   Home Alone I cannot stand because Culkin is worse than the kid that played Anakin.  

I forgot about Gremlins, that is a good one. 

I like Its a Wonderful Life also.   Very Christmassy.

There's only one acceptable answer here...the greatest christmas movie of all time is 

 

Santa's Slay

Bill Goldberg plays deranged psycho killer Santa Claus

Oh, man. A Christmas story and It's a Wonderful life are so overrated. Gremlins is good, but isn't even a Christmas movie.

Home Alone is a masterpiece.

Elf is top 5 for sure

Bad Santa is really good. You could have a bad movie marathon adding in Bad Santa 2 and Bad Moms Christmas

I kind of feel like Vince Vaughn is in a couple of underrated christmas movies - Four Christmases (has a wrestling scene!), and Fred Claus. 

I do love holiday movies, but for a change of pace, I also try to squeeze in a viewing of Seinfeld's "The Strike" around this time each year. bonus points if you watch it on December 23rd, though the episode originally aired on this day (dec 18th) in 1997!

I was just at a Holiday party and we ended talking about what a terrible movie Rudolph is. The complete shunning of Rudolf (not just by the a-hole Reindeer, but also Santa and Dasher) plus he is only redeemed because of some silly concept that his nose is bright enough to see through the worst winter storm in history.

Amen. Our family always found it hilarious that the adult, Dasher, is the one who says to the kids, "Let's not let Rudolph play in any reindeer games." Now that is some real Christmas spirit.
