The ultimate christmas movie is....?

verminator_x · 12-02-2005, 05:58 PM

since i was a kid, i always watching "home alone 1" and 2 right before christmas day. "home alone 3" and 4 was just, well crap.

but i also like "die hard 1" and 2, there something up with john mc clane, terrorists and christmas.

to me the ultimate christmas movie still is "a nightmare before christmas".

I always try to have a "marathon" of *my* personal favorite Christmas movies and television shows.

Just about the only one I make certain to always watch is the Real Ghostbsuters Christmas episode.

But as far as movies go, I try to always watch "Silent Night, Deadly Night", "Gremlins", "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Scrooged".

Scrooged might be my choice for Ultimate Christmas Movie, though. It's just so damn good.

It has to be "A Christmas Story". There are so many things in that movie that crack me up!

1) You'll shoot your eye out....
2) the flag pole
3) The pink bunny suit.
4) Glowing electric....the leg lamp
5) The pack of blood hounds
6) changing the flat tire
7) The chinese food Christmas dinner

....

God bless Ralphie and his family...it was like watching my family on TV

You see, there is only one Christmas movie worth making a point to watch. All the others are mostly disposable and repeatable with the same stuff happening.

The only one I explicitly like is "A Christmas Story". Whenever I hear the words "You'll shoot you're eye out", or "HOOOO HOOOO HOOOOOOO!" I laugh my ass off. That movie scared the sh*t out of me though when I was like 2 or something. Either way, immortal classic.

Oh, and I always try to watch the Christmas episode of the Super Mario Bros Super Show every Christmas as well.

I agree, "A Christmas Story" is the only 'ultimate' christmas movie.....Nightmare before Christmas is so effin over rated.

It's annoying how all the trendy goths have assimilated it into their, heh, "culture". Still a good movie, though. Perhaps not the end-all be-all of Christmas movies, but good never-the-less.

JINGLE ALL THE VAY!

Eh, I'd have to go with the general public here and say "A Christmas Story". I recall one year (and maybe they do this constantly) that TNT played the movie non-stop on Christmas day, for a full 24 hours.

That's every year, DH.

And I gotta go with "A Christmas Story." Second place? National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. I just get out of combustable senior citizens, is all.
