What is your favorite Christmas movie?
Mine is Bad Santa. It depicts exactly my attitude about the holidays.

1. Bad Santa is right up there
I love A Christmas Story too, because it reminds me of my childhood. But my all-time favorite is Monty Python's Life of Brian - which could be an Easter story as well, come to think of it. But I just love the first scene when the wise men go to the wrong stable. :rofl:

18. Love, Actually is my answer. I love that movie.
Saw it twice on TV last week...and that was maybe, the 6th and 7th time I have seen it.

10. 1951 version of "A Christmas Carol"
It isn't Christmas until I've seen it,
and cried twice.

Once at Fanny's death.

The last time when Scrooge asks to be
included in his nephew's party.

:cry:

Every. Year.

25. Fifth vote here
The squirrel in t he tree scene always cracks me up - we had a live squirrel in the house once (brought in by one of the cats), and we were running from it like sissies!

14. I still haven't seen Bad Santa.
Thanks for mentioning it... I need to see if it'll be on soon.

I'd also like to see Die Hard 2 but that's only on the movie channels it seems.



My favorite though... that'd be Christmas Vacation.

Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?

30. Oooh! I love that one. I don't know why Betsy Drake said it was one of his
(Cary Grant) "lessor" films.

I could watch it over and over.

38. I love this one. I watch it every year, alone, b/c my mom hates it.
I love Kevin Spacey in this movie. He owns it. "Just excuse the shit out
of me." "The corpse still has the floor."

And I normally don't like blondes, but when Lloyd says, "You want to have
sex with him," I'm like yes, yes, yes.
