Aniko, there already is a "favorite Christmas movies" thread. It can be found HERE. Why not add your list there?


Personally, my seasonal favorites this time of year remain Die Hard (1988) and "The Junky's Christmas" (1993). I watch 'em multiple times every year.

Eeepp...where’d that come from? Hehe...sorry...I didn’t see it. Ok...I’ll go re-post...but since it’s a Christmas/Holiday thread, I’ll revise my list a bit. ^^;;; Thanks.

And I can honestly say I haven't seen either Die Hard or "The Junky's Christmas". But something tells me I be better of sticking to Elmo Saves Christmas with the kids around.
