    Scrooged and Elf
  • My top 3 are:

    A Christmas Story
    Christmas Vacation
    Gremlins / Scrooged - Tied for 3rd

    Basically the best Christmas movies for me came out of the 80s :P

    I will you leave you all with this...

    Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny effing Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white *kitten* down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of a-holes this side of the nuthouse.
  • Serious:Holiday Inn with Bing Crosby
    Funny: Christmas Vacation
    Sweet:Elf

    I had always thought of Elf as just funny. Sweet describes it much better. I love elf

    The awesomeness of an official Red Ryder carbine action 200-range-shot model air rifle...duh.

    Christmas Story.

    It's about a kid's point of view. And many probably remember how they felt as a kid when watching it.

    Die Hard

    Yes! My family watches this every year....I thought we were the only ones! "Now I have a machine gun. Ho. Ho. Ho."

    And A Christmas Story, by far.

    How in the world is a kid falling asleep dreaming of all his adventures with his Red Ryder carbine-action 200 shot range model air rifle (with a compass in the stock, and this thing which tells time) racist?!
