Best Christmas Movie

Die Hard is a fantastic movie, but that's a Christmas movie like Silence of the Lambs is an animal movie. Just the fact that it is set in December does not make it a Christmas movie.
Die Hard takes place during an office Christmas party. Do you not remember the epic line: "Now I have a machine gun...Ho, Ho, Ho."??
My personal faves include: Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, Elf, The Ref, Die Hard, and of course, the original Grinch cartoon.0 -

It is about a man who goes through great lengths for his family on Christmas. Like walk barefoot on glass. That is a Christmas movie.
Die Hard and Gremlins for me.
I'm a sucker for Love Actually and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang too0 -
Christmas Vacation, definitely. We have a family tradition of getting everyone together to watch it and busting out THREE (3!) deep fryers and making a fried feast buffet. Jalapeno poppers, eggrolls, hushpuppies, pierogies, the works. I will not be counting calories on that day.
Come to think of it, that's probably why I'm here in the first place :laugh:0 -
TNT used to have a tradition of remaking the classic Christmas Carol/Scrooge story every year, changing the setting/actors and putting a new spin on it every time. My favorite one was a version called Ebenezer which starred Jack Palance as the role of Ebenezer Scrooge and took place in a Western setting.0

Christmas is not a central theme in the story. It's about Bruce Willis kicking a bunch of terrorists' rear ends. Not a Christmas movie.0 -
A Christmas Carol (1951 version with Alastair Sim)
Miracle On 34th Street (1947 version)
