Diehard qualifies. Lethal Weapon another good Christmas action flick. Remember it opens up with Mel Gibson with a fun in his mouth listening to Christmas carols. Goodfellas also has a nice Christmas component (what the F*** is the matter with you?!). The Grinch, animated, is my favorite. Also like to catch the last 45 minutes of A Wonderful Life.
Christmas Vacation. Second choice Trading Places.
Merry New Year!
I chose Christmas Story. "You'll shoot your eye out, kid!"
"Tis the season to be Jaury, Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra"
I always thought Christmas Carol was a good one for Christmas though there are a few versions of it. The new one this year on FX wasn't too bad.
How can Christmas Vacation not be an option?
I went the traditionalist route and voted for It’s a Wonderful Life.
Merry Christmas to All, by the way...
I wanted to put that one right after I ran out of options lol. Too many. I just put the ones that first came to my mind.
Christmas Vacation

Tha right there is a RV, I got it off my buddy and I sold him my house for that right there vehicle. They had to replace my metal plate with a plastic one. Every time Catherine would rev up the microwave, I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for about half an hour.
Lmao

She falls down a well, her eyes go cross. She gets kicked by a mule. They go back. I don’t know.

Cause I’m a karate man. Karate man bruise on the inside!
I always hated the fact that Mr. Potter never got his just desserts. I love the ending though. Clarence got his wings.
Elf is hilarious...out of the choices I voted that one...watched it with the fam the other day...seen it 50 times and it's still funny. I like Charlie Brown, Frosty and several others too.
DIE HARD! Followed by the Ref. Alternate, William Shatner's A Christmas Horror Story.

Christmas Vacation is a clear #1. Followed by It's a wonderful life, 1938 version of Christmas Carol, then Christmas Story.
It's a Wonderful Life and Christmas Carol, but since you didn't indicate WHICH Christmas Carol, I chose the former.
Speaking of the movies. Canada cut Trump out of Home Alone 2. You can't make this stuff up.
People are insane....if you don't like the guy it's okay but it's gone to a new level. freaking circus! lol Where is a link to this?
I agree no matter what your politics are. Its true and has been posted quite a few places. I guess Canada controls some of the broadcasting up there. A lot of their people are saying its crazy also they did that.
I love their "commercials" excuse. Its 100% clear that was done on purpose.

I watched about 5 minutes of an “updated” Christmas Carol, starring the guy from Memento. In the part I watched, they were showing how Scrooge’s hatred of Christmas stemmed from the fact that the headmaster at his school used to sexually abuse him over Christmas break. I was like: this is a little more information than I need in a Christmas movie.
Yep a darker version but I would have left that part out. As close as you can get without saying that actually happened.
I'm surprised nobody has brought up.Bad Santa lol. It's a little raunchy, but still has some funny moments.
My favorite scene was that guy at the bar waiting for him outside in the parking lot.
There are like 5 different versions
. It's the movie version of that awful song "Santa Baby". Except Christmas Carol is actually good at it's origin.
Lauren Graham was inspired casting in that movie. Not many actors could be heard shouting "Bleep me Santa" in one scene and then play wide eyed innocence believably the next.
And to pretend Billy Bob Thornton is someone you are attracted to, that's Oscar-worthy level.
Angelina Jolie married him. Then she married Brad Pitt. I don't know what to make of her preference in men.
