The Christmas Movie Thread
Now that the holiday season is officially upon us, that means that the holiday movie season is also under way. Last night you were forced to choose between Home Alone, Elf, and Love Actually. Not a difficult choice for some, but a life altering dilemma for others. And it's only going to get tougher.
So talk about your favorite Christmas movies here, and if you wish, recommend some lesser known holiday classics so that we all may enjoy. |

I always watch the standards. A Christmas Story (about 5 times for no reason) & National Lampoon Christmas Vacation.
I'm also partial to A Muppet's Christmas Carol. Plus I heard the Muppets have a new movie planned for this year called "Letters To Santa". Having a kid gives me an excuse to enjoy the Muppets again. |

I have yet to watch a muppet movie (starring the original muppets of course) that I haven't enjoyed.
I agree with MFC. |

I hate A Christmas Story.
But every year, without fail, I watch the God damn thing when it's on TNT or TBS. |

How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
Charlie Brown Christmas. Flintstones Christmas. (The one which Fred takes over for Santa when he falls off his roof.) Scrooged. |

Flintstones Christmas is awesome.
Scrooged is a great film but its not a "classic" that I watch every year. I contimplated adding it to my list but I only added the ones that are yearly staples. Good choice none the less mate. |

I like the first Santa Clause (Tim Allen) movie. The sequels are garbage though.
Going into the realm of TV: The Simpsons: The first appearance of Santa's Little Helper. Also I like the Funzo one. Futurama: Robot Santa episode. The Office: YAAAAAANKEE SWAP! |

The Office has the best X-Mas & Halloween (non-cartoon) shows on TV. Hands down.

A little belated, but Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is a Thanksgiving movie. I own that but forgot to watch it.

Muppet Family Christmas is the greatest Christmas movie of all time, but it is impossible to find on DVD in stores.
Schlomey, Muppets: Letters from Santa aired last year on NBC. It's pretty good, but not quite like the old Muppets used to be. |

He's not homeless. He's a traveling shower curtain salesman. He tells Steve Martin all about his wife and then it turns out she's dead so he has no where to go for Thanksgiving. It is really sad

Steve Martin said his goodbyes and left, then came back after a second to see Candy still sitting there (don't really remember where) and asked him "Why aren't you going home?" and he said "I have no home". Might be wrong, haven't seen it in years. |
