yeah good ones, but the best is Christmas vacation. I just finished watchin it and I am still laughing 15 minutes later, when that old lady at the end yells "play ball", that just tops it.

"Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse. "--Clark Griswauld--

I think "It's a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Story" get way too much airtime at this time of year. I was sick of those two movies years ago.

The ones I like are
"The Bishop's Wife" with Loretta Young and Cary Grant
"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" (I think I've reached the saturation point on it, too)
"White Christmas" with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney
"Home Alone"
