^yeah, gotta go with Die Hard
Die Hard, It's A Wonderful Life, Die Hard, A Christmas Story and Die Hard.
Now I know what a TV dinner feels like.
I can't choose between Christmas Vacation and Christmas Story.
It's easy: Christmas Story.
I love Christmas Story....I love it.
But Christmas Vacation has some parts in it that are classics.
Bad Santa: A Yuletide Classic
The Home Alone series is a great one. I always enjoyed those Tim Allen 'Santa Clause' films as well.
Mr. Bean's Christmas Special never grows old, the highlight being his interaction with Harrod's manger display. It's at turns, highly emotional, terribly heroic and sheer comedic genius.
Bad Santa
Its a Wonderful life
Gremlins and Die Hard.
A Christmas Story is among the greatest movies of all time, not just Christmas movies. Perfectly written, shot, acted... they even managed to find a bunch of child actors that didn't totally suck.
Four Christmases
Christmas Story tops the list and it's not even close.
Christmas Story is lame.
Home alone 1 imo
Yep the first one was great. 2 was also great but basically a copy of the first one.
I'm 23 now and just recently realized just how bad child actors are. Most of them literally just say their lines with no emotion whatsoever. Don't know how I missed this when I was growing up watching all those Harry Potter films.
Jingle all the way, tbh.
Home Alone 1 and 2 for sure..I can remember looking up to Kevin those movies are so ing old.
Bad Santa and Christmas Story too, though I have a hard time sitting through the entire movie for Christmas Story.
I always dug Christmas Story for its pitch perfect atmosphere. Bob Clark also did Black Christmas earlier, which is very creepy and atmospheric as well. I never saw the remake, but Olivia Hussey from that era........
This one is pretty good, tbh..the Christmas movies of the 80's, 90's and early 00's are the best, for obvious reasons..I might just catch a the ole Grinch flick tonight..
It ain't lame, but, it definitely collapses a healthy portion after he receives that gun.
^There is a type sequel to this film. It stars Charles Grodin as the old man, Mary Steenburgen as the mother & I believe Culkin's brother as the boy. It takes place in the summertime and it has some choice scenes. Unfortunately one of the main plots is a hillybilly family living next door. This goes nowhere, but, if you can put up with it there are some swell scenes. Spinning tops is a popular activities among the boys and the scene where the old man guides his son at the World Exposition taking place in the city is outstanding. Also there is a scene in the very beginning at the corner grocery dealing with red & black jaw breakers. It's a gd blast and has one of the kids from "Sleepers" is in it. This film has a more serious tone to it with a couple scenes in particular. The ending is really fine and deals with the majesty of youth and of family.
I like this film though I'll be damned if I can recall the le.
