DAR Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 47 minutes ago, Christmas Baumer said: #1 A Christmas Vacation (1989) Directed by Jeremiah Chechik Starring Chevy Chase, Beverly DeAngelo and Randy Quaid Box office: 71.3 million "Why is the floor all wet TODD?" "I don't know MARGO!" Without a doubt, one of the funniest films ever made. I laugh from start to finish. From Audrey's face being frozen to the green chem trails that the flying Santa seems to leave at the end of the movie, this is just diabolically hysterical in almost every scene. If you have seen this movie, you know about the shitter being full. You know about it being nipply in here. You know about Snots and heads being sewn to the carpet and of Clark's meltdown after getting a year long subscription to the jelly of the month club: " Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol? " Christmas Vacation is blessed in every way. A terrific selection of Christmas Carols and Clark's obsession with Christmas lights and trees and decorations and so on, makes this one a classic. And it of course has a beautiful message about family and the Christmas spirit. I love this film beyond words. And of course my mother would laugh hysterically at this movie. I watch it several times over the holidays and it never gets old. It's just the film that keeps on giving the whole year round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 While I don't care for Christmas Story or Vacation I can understand why others do. Watched Home alone tonight and it holds up so well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark 33Legend of the Sith Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Home Alone is my #1 with its a Wonderful Life next. Die Hard would be my favorite but as mentioned before its not as pure a Christmas movie as others so it falls a little. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorschach Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Christmas movies always bring me some sort of joy (except the Hallmark ones) My favorites would include: White Christmas A Christmas Carol (the George C. Scott version and the Mickey Mouse cartoon) Christmas Vacation Home Alone (My personal favorite of the bunch) Batman Returns (I consider this one a Christmas film, personally) The Santa Clause Elf Bad Santa The Polar Express Arthur Christmas Edited December 23, 2016 by Rorschach 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
