christmas vacation
its been a family tradition to watch it every year
my dad always liked it cause our last name is griswold

Dude same here. My family has watched that movie every single Christmas as far back as I can remember. It's one of my favourite movies and look forward to watching it every year.

Miracle on 34th Street and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The originals only if you please. Not the cruddy remakes. ESPECIALLY no the Jim Carey piece of garbage!

 

[smearyllama]

Die Hard. Find me a better Christmas movie, I dare you!

Die Hard 2: Die Harder.
Oh! What now?!
You just got served!

Yeah but does Die Hard 2 have Hans Gruber? No? Didn't think so!

I must agree with that, but does the first have John McLane blowing up a plane? Or an action-packed snowmobile chase? Does it?

 

[x-machina]

The Gremlins, I have loved since I was a child.

 

[Okuu_Fusion]

Jingle All The Way...

I know its terrible, but I can't help but enjoy it...

Also, Bad Santa...

I really like to watch Love Actually this time of year. I know it's pussyish, and I don't like many of the actors/themes in it, but fuck it, it's christmas. If there's any time to watch tacky shit, this is it.

 

[Furioso]

A Christmas Story all the way, I could recite that movie line for line if asked, it's pretty much on all day during the 24 hour Christmas Marathon, second place goes to Elf, love that movie

For the longest time it was National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

Seems it been usurped by Elf and Always Sunny Christmas. (You just can't top Charlie Kelly biting santa's ear off).

Grandma got run over by a reindeer, I watch it every christmas and it seems to get worse every year.

 

[octafish]

Die Hard. Find me a better Christmas movie, I dare you!

Now that is one awesome Christmas movie! Although I'm surprised many don't consider it to be because it's so action oriented.

Now I have a machinegun. Ho Ho Ho.

Muppet Christmas Carol is mine, but I can only find an edited version that has When Love is Gone cut out. I wish my VHS hadn't worn out, it is a particularly jarring cut.

 

[Kaytastrophe]

Merry Christmas Charlie Brown. That is my favourite movie/show of all time. I make an effort to see it every year.

 

[deckpunk]

Both Groundhog Day and Scrooged because Bill Murray is awesome and if you don't shed a tear during his impassioned speech at the end of scrooged then please consult a mortician as you are quite obviously dead inside.

 

[Orks da best]

How the grinch sold Christmas, we watch every Christmas morning, at first it was to past the time, because we all woke up so early, but later on, it became a tradition.

Both Groundhog Day and Scrooged because Bill Murray is awesome and if you don't shed a tear during his impassioned speech at the end of scrooged then please consult a mortician as you are quite obviously dead inside.

If you watch Groundhog Day on Christmas, what do you watch on Groundhog Day?

So, to answer the question. In my family, it's Muppet Christmas Carol. Michael Caine is amazing.

And also The Santa Clause, because it's surprisingly really good. Watching it as an adult, I realized how perfectly paced it is...Like, seriously. Few other movies I've seen can match it in terms of pacing.

Of course we also watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas and A Charlie Brown Christmas because you have to (usually as background noise while wrapping presents), and also A Christmas Story and It's a Wonderful Life but both have become kind of overplayed for us somehow.

I just saw Elf for the first time after being told by many people that they hate both Will Ferrell and Christmas comedy but just love Elf. It was exactly what I'd expected and I wasn't impressed. Sorry.

OH, Hogfather. I forgot about that. Death's speech at the end about how humans need fantasy to be human is so brilliant, and it fills me with joy every time. It's kind of too long to watch most years, though.

 

[I Have No Idea]

The Polar Express. I don't care what people say about the facial animation, I think it's a brilliant movie. It's the only movie to date that can invoke child like wonder when I'm 18 years old.

 

[Nouw]

Die Hard and Home Alone are my favourite Christmas films. Both are masters of the genre and incredibly fun to watch.
