Christmas (PC: Holiday) Movies

I was just illin' it when I thought to myself... what's the best Christmas flick of all time? Maybe it's not even the best, but what is my favorite? So I was like... Probably National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Yeah I know, as far as film making goes it's nothing new, but it's freakin' hilarious.

"Is your house on fire Clark?"
"Is Rusty still in the Navy?"
"This house is bigger than your old one."

The old grandma takes the cake when it comes to humor.


So, I was wondering what your favorite Christmas (or Hanukah/Kwanza/Etc) films were.

Last year Elf did it for me, and it would have got my vote again this year...... but then Bad Santa arrived through ma letterbox... and that has took my crown for the best xmas film I have seen.

Each year I watch How The Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer(1964)
Frosty The Snowman(1969)
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation(1989)
A Muppet Family Christmas(1987)

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - That movie has one of the three best preformances by Mr. Chase far as I am concerned.

Drum roll please.....

Darn it.

For me it has to be
It's a Wonderful Life

and the original
Miracle on 34th Street

I really look forward to watching "Christmas Vacation" and "A Christmas Story" every year during the holiday season (as do most of you, from the looks of things ), but here's a few more to add to the list...

Bad Santa (extremely funny!!)
The Myth of Fingerprints (not so much a "x-mas" movie, but shows the typical disfunctional family during the holidays)
Lethal Weapon (because its AWESOME!!)

Muppet christmas carol for christmas!!
