    Christmas Story.

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

    i like how christmas story ends on a really racist note.
    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?!

    i meant the chinese carolers
    And there were black men in Black Bart's gang of burglars. Is that racist too?

    You don't know the movie well enough to comment.

    Best use of a gif.

    I guess some people wouldn't recognize satire if it shot their eye out. *shrug*

    The Ref

    "What is the matter with you? I thought Mothers were sweet and nice a-a-and Patient. I know loan sharks who are more forgiving than you. Your husband ain't dead, lady. He's hiding."

    OMG...I forgot about this one! Definitely a holiday classic!

    The correct answers are Gremlins and Die Hard.

    Gremlins!! who doesn't love Gizmo? Elf is awesome. and I grew up with The Santa Clause so that one just makes Christmas what it is.

    as for the holiday tv specials like Charlie Brown Christmas and Rudolph the winners will always be
    -Frosty the Snowman
    -Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer....because it's unintentionally hilarious.

    Throwing my hat into the ring for Muppets Christmas Carol and Scrooged!

    Watched National Lampoon's Christmas for the 1st time a couple days ago...couldn't get into it. Too many cringe worthy moments, yeesh.
