What’s your all-time favorite Holiday movies??

For me it’s-
• “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”
• “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York”
• “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” 2000
• “The Santa Clause”
• “Scrooged” Bill Murray is awesome!
• “Home Alone”
• “Elf”….hey, I liked it.
• “A Christmas Story” you’ll shoot your eye out!
• “The Santa Clause 2”
• “Christmas with the Kranks” not super funny but I enjoyed it.
* "Ernest Saves Chritmas"....

These aren’t necessarily in order.

I am sorry, but I loved The Santa Clause

It's a Wonderful Life. Come on...do I really need to explain? OK, some smart arse out there will probably say "Yes, you do." but "No, I don't".

Scrooge (1951) aka A Christmas Carol...Alistar Sim as Scrooge. Sim set the bar so high that not even the great George C. Scott could get his ass over it.

A Christmas Story because the first time I saw it, I laughed so hard that I nearly injured myself.

A Charlie Brown Christmas
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Karloff, not Carey!)

These last two especially, because they recognize what Christmas is SUPPOSED to be about.

I certainly have no problem with some of your other choices, if that's what you enjoy. Just as long as you don't try and make me watch them ala Alex in A Clockwork Orange!

Bad Santa was GARBAGE,pure and simple.It should NOT be included with the Best.

If anything,Bad Santa is THE worst holiday film ever.

Most of the other films are quite decent choices actually,particularly the first two Home Alone movies.

Miracle on 34th Street (Edmund Gwenn)
It's a Wonderful Life
The Ref
White Christmas
A Christmas Carol (Alistair Sim)
A Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart)
Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol
Miracle on 34th Street (Richard Attenborough)
Elf
The Family Man

I hate odd numbered lists, so The Family Man makes it. And I'll be watching each of these films on Christmas Eve as my siblings and I gather at my mother's to help her wrap Christmas presents and drink mulled cider. Its the closest thing we have to a family tradition.
