Favorite Christmas Movies

Just watched Jingle all the Way 2. It’s the best movie I’ve seen in a while. Larry the Cable Guy needs an Oscar.

Troll 2. Best movie ever.

Bad Santa. I try to watch it every year around Christmastime.

Watched Christmas Vacation last night, great movie!

A Christmas Story (of course).

Fucking “Elf” is playing wherever I go.

Die Hard

Gremlins

^Good call.

The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple of hours went by. Dad wasn’t home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. And that’s when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He’d been climbing down the chimney on Christmas Eve, his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that’s how I found out there was no Santa Claus.

I think it’s fair to say I’ve now earned some street cred as a quality poster with this thread.

Ditto on this! Thankfully it’s on Netflix now; it’s really not as funny on TV where it’s heavily edited…

It’s a Wonderful Life.

Bump.

I’m fond of “Life of Brian.” It’s my Christmas movie tradition:

I really enjoy two movie versions of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol :

  • One stars George C. Scott as Ebenezer Scrooge
  • The other stars the Muppets
