Modern movies, I LOVE Jim Carrey as The Grinch. But, as per usual, my favorites are classics from the 1940's. My favorite is Christmas in Connecticut(1945), with my film heroine, Barbara Stanwyck, followed by The Man Who Came to Dinner(1942), with Monty Woolley and Bette Davis. Both are hilarious screwball comedies :)

In order:

1) A Christmas Story
2) Christmas Vacation
3) Scrooged
4) Home Alone
5) Bad Santa

I pretty much watch these every year around Christmas time.....something is just missing if I don't.

I try to minimize the Christmas exposure in my house. For religious people, I understand it. For everyone else, it's just a mega-greed day.

I like Die Hard more than the sequel, but I associate 2 more with Christmas growing up. Maybe its the snow.

In that dinner scene, I just noticed the cat food in the jello for the first time. Hooray for getting a joke on the 100th take.

There is a movie called "Booky and Secret Santa" from '07. It deals with Depression era Toronto, a young girl, and her family. Her father has lost his job and the family faces a bleak Christmas. She befriends her father's ex-boss--via saving his life in a armed-robbery attempt. He grants her a wish.

What makes this movie unique is the way The Depression is handled. It's dealt with in real time, not in what we know 80 years later, but, what they knew mere months into the carnage. They can't figure out what has happened. The ex-boss strives to explain to Booky why her father has lost his job, but, can't fathom the sea change that has hit.

A Christmas Story, I always watch it at least once every time that 24 hour marathon is on. I used to think that movie was shot in the 50s

Same here. They did a great job of recreating that nostalgic feel.

I love the 24-hour marathon they do every year. We usually have it on in the background Christmas Eve / Day, so it's become even more of a staple.

definitely

I was actually kind of depressed back when I first found out when it was made. I loved the old timey feel to it growing up so when I found out it was made in the 80s it was a big downer

Gremlins is all good until it comes to that fucked up part where she tells the story about her dad dying in the chimney. I'm not sure if that was just added for "horror" effect or what, but pretty sure they could've done without it.
