Out of curiosity. :lol:
Thanks for including an "other" category. I want to vote but not for any of those hack jobs. :angry:
:p My favorite would be "It's a wonderful life" if I had to pick one. though my favorite xmas word this year is "Humbug"
A Christmas Story, of course.
WTF kind of poll is this?
Think of it as a normal thread then. :( It's late and I'm tired.
Some strange choices there dude.
I go with A Christmas Story, or maybe Charlie Brown Christmas, depending on my mood.
Christmas Story, back in 1986. When I only saw it the first 25 times.
Jim Henson's "Emmit Otter's Jug Band Christmas" from HBO waaaaaaaay back when. Anybody over the age of 35 knows what I'm talking about.
And a little Italian job called "The Christmas That Almost Wasn't".
In no particular order:
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Scrooged
Nightmare Before Christmas
Mickey's Christmas Carol
Silent Night, Deadly Night sucked.
Also, no option for Star Wars Holiday Special? :mad:
I'm not a big fan of the genre. So I voted Die Hard.
I was too old when I first saw it(2-3 years ago) to appreciate A Christmas Story fully. I prefer Charlie Brown, Rudolph and Mickey for the nostalgia value. My sisters all love White Christmas, so I'll occasionally watch it with them.
you know, i thought i would never find a good christmas flick to enjoy, but.. last winter i saw joyeux noel with a few relatives, and i rather enjoyed it. maybe i'll rent it again come the 25th

Oh yeah, despite its historical inaccuracies it was a good movie.

gladiator, braveheart, etc.. :P
Bad Santa, close second of A Christmas Story.
Love Actually. Scrooged and A Charlie Brown Christmas are probably tied for second.
The typical christmas films I remember from when I was a kid tend not to be shown these days- Zulu, the Great Escape, Laurence of Arabia, Spartacus, etc...
Damn I loved Zulu.
Actual christmas themed films- eh...can't think of many.

Oh yeah, in the days before commercial television (or in the early days when commercial stations had little cash) monumental movies were on during holidays: Ben Hur, Gone with the Wind, Spartacus, El Cid, Lawrence of Arabia, Gandhi, Dr Zhivago ... I love them all.
The Spartacus Holiday Special was kind of meh.

Yeah, I liked their Easter special better.
All crucifiction, all the time!
Showgirls.
It takes place during Christmas.
I have Emmet Otter on DVD for some reason. Think my sister gave it to me a few years ago.
The original animated Grinch.

Cutthroat bitches is my thing. That film is a cult classic among gays for a reason, you know. :P

For some reason, gays can't resist acting like junior high girls.
The Ref, followed by It's a Wonderful Life.

Die Hard is not a hack job.
neither is "Scrooged" or The Rudolph claymation. I was being glib (thus the :p a few lines below what you quoted)
A toss up between It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol (one of the older versions and not the the "updated" crap they keep putting out).

I'd love to put some bells on those puppies and ring in the new year. Alas, 'twas not to be. :(
