  • fudsak, on 12/19/2008, -0/+11My favorite Christmas movie?
    Die Hard. Yes, it is, go watch it again.
  • Hero0fTime, on 12/19/2008, -0/+10That'll do, pig. That'll do.
  • inactive, on 12/19/2008, -1/+11Babe? A pig story? One that has nothing to do with Bacon?
  • AmyVernon, on 12/19/2008, -1/+7Bacon is NEVER wrong.
  • acmaurer, on 12/19/2008, -0/+6Roman Holiday's awesome... slightly sad, but awesome.
  • nerdsftw, on 12/19/2008, -0/+4I loved Babe! I definitely still want to see Love Actually :)
  • cpovey, on 12/19/2008, -0/+4Anchorman? As a "holiday movie"?
  • Kireblade, on 12/19/2008, -0/+4Nothin' puts a skip in my step like Requiem For A Dream!
  • captainbethany, on 12/19/2008, -0/+4"how can I go wrong?"

    With the sequels?
  • BadAshe86, on 12/19/2008, -1/+4I kind of like Christmas Vacation.
  • spook73, on 12/19/2008, -1/+3Ahem, 'It's A Wonderful Life'?
  • Darksoul, on 12/19/2008, -3/+5What a ***** list all you really need to watch for Christmas is three movies but I still have to give it a digg for just mentioning Buckaroo Banzai.

    1. Bad Santa
    2. A Christmas Story
    3. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
  • Julie188, on 12/19/2008, -0/+2Yeah, I've got some time off and can't wait to see some movies .. some of these are great ideas for a home movie, popcorn night.
  • MisterFurious, on 12/19/2008, -1/+3Dugg for Buckaroo Banzai. Sue me.
  • Rudegar, on 12/19/2008, -0/+2i pref reading the lobo comic where he kills santa
  • kismetropolis, on 12/19/2008, -0/+2No matter where you go, there you are.

  • inactive, on 12/19/2008, -0/+2They have kung-fu panda but no "it's a wonderful life"? buried to hell.
  • str3ama, on 12/19/2008, -2/+3A Christmas Story is missing! - Greatest Christmas film, maybe tied with the Grinch as best classic. It's got something for everyone - double dog dares, a woman's leg shaped lamp, bullying, buyers remorse...
  • Kitarist, on 12/19/2008, -1/+2I did watch few of them bu still a great list Thanks!!
  • PB3K, on 12/19/2008, -4/+5A Christmas Story and Bad Santa are really the only 2 you need. This list sucks!
  • inactive, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1Feels good man
  • m00nmaster, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1Balthazar.
  • inactive, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1Travel-Through time category yet no mention of back to the future. BOOOOOOOOOOO!
  • Jabrams2, on 12/19/2008, -1/+2I'll admit, he does look like he would taste amazing...but that would just be wrong
  • MoralThreat, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1I actually liked the ending, bittersweet as it was. They had that one perfect day together.
  • captainbethany, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1The Man Who Came to Dinner - an old film, but classic and I can honestly say it's the funniest Christmas movie I've ever seen.
  • SteeleJK, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1Bingo.
    I still like watching the first two Home Alone movies though. Seeing the "sticky bandits" get hit in the head with paintcans, burnt, and slip on stuff always cracks me up.
  • Nobiting, on 12/19/2008, -1/+2dugg for anchorman.
  • kismetropolis, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1A lot of these movies are good fun, but dugg for Buckaroo Banzai.
  • inactive, on 12/20/2008, -0/+1The Visitor was a great movie, but it really isn't happy at all.
  • FredFredrickson, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1Nice, plump haunches you're gettin'!
  • IllBeBack, on 12/19/2008, -1/+2Don't know about anybody else, but I'll be curling up on the couch this Christmas and watching the Matrix trilogy on Blu-Ray.

    Egg Nog and Neo, how can I go wrong?
  • TwistyMcFister, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1The Holiday
    Serendipity
  • BpWally, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1These are feel good movies.

    Because I 'feel good' missing all of them.
  • BadAshe86, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1What about the first Lethal Weapon?
  • rootsm3, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1Hmmph

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSzHvRVE5uM
  • tidu, on 12/20/2008, -0/+1Yeah just make sure you drink enough so that you're passed out by the end of the first one.
  • njhardc0re, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1mmmm ham
  • RobotKeaton, on 12/19/2008, -1/+2I don't understand how anybody still likes that movie. I don't think there's anybody old enough to operate a computer that hasn't seen it at least 33 times.
  • shadowblade989, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1Every Christmas, I watch it at least twice on TBS.
  • m00nmaster, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1Just Friends. Total sleeper.
  • inactive, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1*****, i forgot about die hard. i can watch that movie over and over again.
  • inactive, on 12/20/2008, -0/+1I couldn't bury this" feel good movies for the 'HOLIDAYS' list" fast enough after the omission of It's a Wonderful Life. Clearly we're dealing with the mentally retarded holiday list here. Where is the real list that includes a few Frank Capra films, A Christmas Story and Alastair Sim as Scrooge?
  • Br3ach, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1Nothing says Christmas like "Yipee kiyay *****!"
  • timothiuz, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1'LOVED" is a past tense
  • craiginct, on 12/20/2008, -0/+1Jeez - not one Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa movie in the list???
    What the matter Scrooge - afraid to acknowledge THE HOLIDAYS???
  • gordonp, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1WTF? The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai and Love Actually on the same list?
  • jvincent08, on 12/20/2008, -0/+1I want a shirt that says "I love LAMP".

    I have no life, really..
