What's the best Christmas movie?

[karamazov80]

My favorite Christmas movie is Die Hard. I try to watch it every Christmas. Black Christmas is also a classic, of course.

Any fans of Home Alone? How about Bad Santa?

 

[pixletwin]

I'm surprised I am the only one who listed Edward Scizzorhands.

 

[Darth Caedus]

This is my favorite Christmas movie.....at least it was set during Christmas

 

[Batty]

I'm surprised I am the only one who listed Edward Scizzorhands.

Maybe because it's Scissorhands.

I love A Christmas Story. Watch it several times over the holidays. It always makes me laugh. Also love Bad Santa.

I don't consider it a Christmas movie, although I like it plenty well.

Robo...what a great memory.
Dave...you must've been a wuss as a kid (no! don't ban me!)
Spartan....I AM familiar with A Midnight Clear and am a fan.
Bannister....why am I not a cookie receiver too?

"The old man loved bargaining more than an Arab trader, and he was twice as shroud".

I just realised that one of my Top ten films of all time is set during Christmas time

The Sure Thing

I love the bit where John Cusack makes friends with two drunks at a bar, and they start singing, chestnuts on a open fire

 

[The Ween]

This is my favorite Christmas movie.....at least it was set during Christmas

Yippie Ki Ho Ho Ho, Mutha ^^^^^*er!!!

There is many,but my absolute favourite is:

 

[LordAzrael]

Y
10. The Ref

That gets my pick. I hate Christmas warm and fluffy.

I'd also throw in "The Ice Harvest".

Gremlins and Lethal Weapon were also both set at Christmas. And I also enjoyed Reindeer Games - can't beat a bunch of Santa's in a gunfight.

If I HAVE to pick a Christmas themed movie though I'll go with Bill Murray in Scrooged.

 

[LordAzrael]

Surprised no one has mentioned the Star Wars Holiday Special

 

[8th wonder]

Gremlins is my favorite christmas movie.

Lumpy is my avatar this holiday season. I watched it again only last week. I just love the look on Harrison Ford's face during the show, especially when he is delivering those, I love you chewie lines. And who can forget Leia's song at the end.

 

[uscmhicks]

Gremlins is my favorite christmas movie.

 

[karamazov80]

If the list isn't restricted just to movie, but also TV specials, then I would include Muppet Family Christmas (none of that post-Henson garbage) and Emmit Otter's Jugband Christmas.
