ReplyDeleteA Christmas Story will always be king.
ReplyDeleteHowever Die Hard and Gremlins are good runners up.
ReplyDeleteMr. Magoo's Christmas Carol
ReplyDeleteGremlins is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteONE NIGHT IN PARIS
ReplyDeleteNational Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
ReplyDeleteThis was mine too... until I met Chevy Chase. I still like those movies, but not as much as before.
DeleteIt's A Wonderful Life for sure. I see it every year and it still manages to make me cry.
ReplyDeleteChristmas Vacation!
ReplyDeleteA Very Murray Christmas
ReplyDeleteLove Actually!
ReplyDeleteA Christmas Story
ReplyDeleteShould have done TV Christmas specials this year, Enty, to change it up. I'd love to see who wins between Charlie Brown, Rudolph, Frosty and a few others.
ReplyDeleteI gotta go with the 1951 A Christmas Carol - with the Alastair Sim Scrooge
It's A Wonderful Life is one of those movies that, like Casablanca, I've never sat down and watched and at this point, I am incapable of watching it with an open mind anymore because it's been parodied and invoked in so many ways, so heavily, in so many different mediums for decades, that I'm sick of it before I've even seen it.
ReplyDeleteLove Actually
ReplyDeleteA Christmas Story.
ReplyDeleteTrading Places
ReplyDeleteBad Santa
ReplyDeleteas for Xmas cartoon, OG Grinch
It's a Wonderful Life, and Bing Crosby's White Christmas will always be my go-to's.
ReplyDeleteA Christmas Story
ReplyDeleteIt’s a Wonderful Life
ReplyDeleteDie Hard Obvs.
ReplyDeleteIt's a Wonderful Life.
ReplyDeleteThe Grinch
ReplyDeleteHere's my list:
ReplyDeleteShazam! (It's set during Christmas...)
Anna and the Apocalypse
Die Hard
Gremlins
A Christmas Story
Elf
White Christmas
Krampus
Curious how many forms of this question we can get? You're tired out Enty. Fucksake
ReplyDeleteJingle all the Way
ReplyDeleteKrampus
Die Hard
A Christmas Story.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I love both. Like A Christmas Carol, It's A Wonderful Life has the more obvious takeaway of appreciating your life and all of its blessings. But, A Christmas Story is just a gem.
ReplyDeleteAs of yet, no one has mentioned Elf. I adore that movie, and confess to tearing up more than once as Santa's sleigh lifts into the sky!
Original cartoon Grinch is wonderful. Christmas Vacation always makes me happy, and I love that my dad loved it.💓
So, sorry, I guess I screwed up the vote!
A Christmas Story
ReplyDeleteThe Star Wars Holiday Special -1978
ReplyDeleteAll of these stories are easily a top placer. However, I’d like to be recognized as nominating the worst Christmas movie ever.
ReplyDeleteChristmas vacation 2: cousin eddies island. I forced myself to watch it including the directors notes. Not one laugh. Come on Enty! Give me my 15 minutes! :)
A Christmas Story.
ReplyDeleteSaw it’s a wonderful life on the big screen yesterday. Took my neighbor who unbelievably had never seen it before. She was crying. Nothing tops that movie IMHO
ReplyDeleteChristmas Vacation and Die Hard.
ReplyDeleteElf
ReplyDeleteIt's a Wonderful Life
ReplyDeleteA Christmas Story
A Christmas Carol (George C. Scott version)
Home Alone
Love them all but IAWL always tops the list.
A Christmas Story!
ReplyDeleteLove Actually is actually sad and kind of offensive. The lesson is: If you're single on Christmas, you're a loser. I feel embarrassed for Andrew Lincoln when I watch it.
Mine never changes--The Hebrew Hammer. Andy Dick kills Santa Claus, brain-washes kids with VHS tapes of "It's A Wonderful Life." I brainwash my friends with THH.
ReplyDeleteElf
ReplyDeletebad Santa
ReplyDeleteHave seen them all so many times - Miracle on 34th St is good and It's a Wonderful Life always will reel me in.
ReplyDeleteHome Alone.
ReplyDeleteBoth 1&2
The Perfect Gift by Jefferson Moore of Kelly FilmWorks
ReplyDeleteBad Santa!
ReplyDeleteThe Little Drummer Boy with Greer Garson narrating. Trust me everyone should watch it regardless of religion. I swear I will not cry, but as soon as that drummer drums away at the end, I'm all tears. It's only 25ish minutes long
ReplyDelete@judithanneegg- I always looked forward to The Little Drummer Boy but have not seen it listed for years.
ReplyDeleteEnty, maybe have a # 1 for drama and a #1 for comedy.
It's a Wonderful Life is #1 for me. It embodies the spirit of Christmas. A man does nice things for others and when his life takes a downturn, those people come through for him. Wish NBS had not bought the rights. Used to see how many times I could watch it every year.
A Christmas Story is hilarious and fun. We can all identify with Ralphie and his daydreams and machinations.
@Do Tell I love Magoo's Christmas Carol! Great choice and I vote for this too.
ReplyDeleteAlong with "It's a Wonderful Life", which really is the Christmas movie to end all Christmas movies
There is also a beautiful cartoon called "The Snowman"; if you haven't seen it you will love it. It's melancholy and happy at the same time. The music is beautiful
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that I will be the only person nominating this movie: BABETTE'S FEAST.
ReplyDeleteFor the best Christmas movie not using subtitles: A Christmas Story.
I have a soft spot for Scrooged...
ReplyDeleteA Christmas Story
ReplyDeleteJingle All The Way
ReplyDeletePrep & Landing
ReplyDeleteI don’t care for Christmas movies but I did enjoy Bad Santa & have yet to see Elf.
ReplyDeleteA Christmas Story...hands down.
ReplyDeleteTRADING PLACES and DIE HARD.
ReplyDeleteMy vote again this year- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
ReplyDeleteI do not acknowledge any holiday.
ReplyDeleteTens of thousands of Americans are missing in this country.
For them to come home-- to have answers-- that is what we want.
~~Mom loves you.~~

ReplyDeleteThe cartoon Grinch
ReplyDeleteKeep forgetting Babette's Feast!
ReplyDeleteAlistair Sim's A Christmas Carol.
Bad Santa I, not II.
A Christmas Story
ReplyDeleteLove Actually
ReplyDeleteNoel, with Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Chaz Palmenteri, and a whole bunch of other stars.
ReplyDeletePrancer
ReplyDeleteIt's A Wonderful Life.Followed by White Christmas.Then Home Alone.Finally - Planes,Trains,and Automobiles.
ReplyDeleteGentle Breeze, I agree that Alistair Sim's A Christmas Carol is one of the best Christmas movies!
ReplyDeleteForgot that I also love The Bishop's Wife- the story is cute but Cary Grant and David Niven in the same movie-yum!
Christmas Vacation for sure!
ReplyDeleteChristmas Vacation
ReplyDeleteHome Alone 1 & 2 always!
ReplyDeleteLove actually
ReplyDeleteWhite Christmas and Holiday Inn

ReplyDeleteBell, Book and Candle
ReplyDeleteChristmas Vacation
ReplyDeleteI do stand behind A Christmas Story, but I'm going with Christmas Vacation this year. Chevy may be an ass, but he makes me laugh!
