What's your favorite Christmas movie?

Sign in to disble this ad
I have to say that Bad Santa is mine, with A Christmas Story second.

Nothing says the holidays like a drunk and a little person ripping off a shopping mall.

and as a bonus (for those of you who are of legal drinking age) try the Bad Santa drinking game

As a kid I always loved "A Year Without Santa Claus" with the Heat Miser.

What are yours?

Yeah, A Christmas Story is just classic, I think IMDB had a good article with some trivia this morning... 12 things you might not know... http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/20859

Aside from that, my favorite christmas movie is probably KISS Saves Santa

The Muppets Christmas was awesome...Rudolph and Frosty are pretty good, although I always wanted to punch that stupid misfit toy lion in the face.



Ps. In advance...Charlie brown Christmas blows.

"How the Grinch Stole Christmas."

The animated one with Boris Karloff, not that piece of excrement Jim Carrey was in.

Agree. Although for kitsch value I also watch the truly awful Santa Claus Conquers the Martians once a year.

'A Christmas Story',followed with 'A Charlie Brown Christmas,' and of course' How The Grinch Stole Christmas'. Boris Karloff was perfect as the narrator. I concur with Atoz that the Jim Carrey version was indeed crap. I do confess that ' Bad Santa' is a guilty pleasure I've enjoyed watching.

We have made an annual tradition for the past decade of watching the MST3K version of that craptacular movie, every Christmas season.

We never get tired of it.
