It may be predictable, but A Christmas Story. I grew up with it and the 24 hour marathon with my parents and for the most part we still keep the tradition alive with my family. Wrap gifts to it, open gifts to it, waiting to eat dinner and still watching it. Of course you only see snip its throughout the day so its not like I see it 20 times, but more likely around 4 times in a year.
It’s a Wonderful Life
Love Actually
Home Alone
A Christmas Story
Die Hard
The Man Who Invented Christmas has quickly become a favorite. I've always been a sucker for A Christmas Carol and love every iteration of it. Especially the Muppets and Scrooged. But this is a new take on it with the focus on the writing of the book. "And Tiny Tim who DID NOT die..."
Home alone!
In no particular order:
- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
- Elf
- Scrooged
- Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
- Star Wars Holiday Special (I know. Please don't judge too harshly)
- Violent Night
- A Christmas Horror Story
- A Christmas Story
- At least one of the Rankin/Bass stop motion christmas movies
- How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
Plus others, but those are the ones that tend to get played every year.
Die Hard
And Klaus.
Tokyo Godfathers (2003) and The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
I love The Man Who Invented Christmas, because I'm a sucker for Dan Stevens, and a follow up with The Muppets Christmas Carol is the best.
Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
Die Hard and Violent Night
Gundam wing: endless waltz
Scrooged.
Just so packed with knock out one-liners, plus the monologue Bill Murray gives at the end is incredible.
Classics:
- Holiday Inn
- White Christmas
- Christmas in Connecticut
- It’s a Wonderful Life
- Miracle on 34th Street (original)
It'll always be Gremlins!
Gremlins 3 is in the works! 2027
You might like this song, I love lutsko
I never even knew! Awesome!!
Shrek, unironically
I torrented Shrek in like quad audio, the Italian dub is pretty funny.
He's like "eyy donkeh, no bene!"
Good choice. It has layers.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 1989
Legend 1985 Director's Cut
Conan the Barbarian 1982
+1 for Christmas Vacation
We watch it every year
Home Alone 1&2, every year since I was four years old. I'm 38 now.
Home Alone and The Santa Clause for the kids. Love Actually for the parents.
Bad Santa
I went into this expecting like a throwaway slapstick comedy but it's weirdly kinda deep and surrealist at times. Like just the shots alone and color scheme of the sets look crazy.
SANTA! [bangs head]
best christmas movie ever
i love when he yells at that karen for interrupting his break
How come no one says Die Hard 2?
That's also set on Christmas eve
If you saw Die Hard 2, you wouldn't ask that question.
Blood Sucking Freaks
Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas!
It's time for me to break out my River bottom Nightmare Band metal logo T-shirt
This is a great one. It’s been in our holiday movie rotation for years and it’s always a hit.
One modern one that deserves a mention: 8-Bit Christmas.
That one will likely stick around for us. So well done.
Kindergarten cop. Arnold all the way, but also "jingle all the way"... with Arnold, f'course. PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN, NOW.
Albert Family stone
- Just Friends
- Cooper’s Christmas (aka Cooper’s Camera)
- Scrooged
- A Christmas Story
- Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer
Die Hard
The Last Unicorn
Weird mix. No, I don't know either why these two.
Jingle all the way!
The Polar Express is the only one I usually watch for Christmas. I don't watch a ton of holiday movies but that one brings back memories as a kid.
