Franch Toast 25,913 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Elf is hands-down my favorite Christmas film. I also loved Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Burl Ives version) when I was growing up. She/Her/Hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLuna 12,732 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I love animated classics like Frosty the Snowman and A Charlie Brown Christmas. I have the soundtrack by Vince Guaraldi on CD and I play it every year. Home Alone is a also a classic a for me, I remember seeing at the theater when I was like 10, and the projection stopped at some point because of a technical problem Also Elf, How The Grinch Stole Christmas (the Jim Carrey version, I hate the original animated one), and Polar Express are pretty much my favorite. Unpopular opinion: I don't like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. I know it's a classic and everyone loves it, I try to watch it almost every year and I just don't like it for some reason, I'm not a huge fan of National Lampoon movies, the only one I kind of like is European Vacation.

Mother of Puppies 35,585 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 My all time favorite is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation! Me and my family watch it every year on Christmas eve - it's basically our family xmas tradition because we all love it so much, cuz it's the funniest movie ever!

OhHenny2020 2,822 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Christmas Vacation and Home Alone 1 & 2 are the best! I’ve watched all three religiously for the past 30 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanDante 5,848 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 It's not a Christmas season movie, but its kind of a ritual of me and my friends to watch Little Women (the 1994 version) every year on Christmas. I'm not very good with Social Mediaᵀᴹ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love your list and your thoughts are close to mine. And of all the movies on my list National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is my least favorite because it's too crazy or goofy or silly. Which is inexplicable because I'm a very silly person. Idgi. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think that might be it, Clark Griswold is such an idiot, I just don't find that character funny at all. I don't know what it is either, all I know is I don't like that movie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronk 14,486 Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 One of the movies I listed isn't a movie but was a TV show. I found the episode on Youtube and would like to share a delightful short skit starting at 21:50. If you remember any of the fine entertainers, this will bring back memories. In order of appearance starting at 21:50 are Rose Marie, Morey Amsterdam, Dikk Van Dyke, and Mary Tyler Moore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXF7-dHYYBE I live outside the space time continuum.
