Your Favorite Christmas Movies
So what is everyone's favorite Christmas movies? There are certain movies I make sure to watch this time every year, and those movies generally have not changed since I was a kid. The only exception is the Rankin Bass movies, which I just don't find myself watching. Maybe if I had kids of my own I'd have them watch it, but once I hit a certain age I just didn't bother watching them anymore.
Anywhere here's my top ten:
1. It's a Wonderful Life (huge Jimmy Stewart fan)
2. Die Hard
3. Home Alone
4. A Christmas Story (used to be my favorite)
5. Mickey's Christmas Carol
6. Lethal Weapon 2
7. A Christmas Carol (Scrooge)
8. How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (animated version)
9. Lethal Weapon
10. Christmas Vacation
HM: Bad Santa, Die Hard 2, Home Alone 2, Simpsons Roasting On an Open Fire, and Ernest Saves Christmas which is my guilty pleasure. I'd probably put Batman Returns on there, but not sure I'd say it's much of a Christmas movie like Die Hard and Lethal Weapon are.
Then there are a few I've never really seen like Gremlins, Scrooged, and A Muppet Family Christmas. There are also a few I hate like the awful Ron Howard Grinch movie, Elf, and The Santa Clause movies.
Anyone else have a different opinion? I know a lot of people love Elf, but I'm just not a fan of Will Ferrell shtick.
