Favorite holiday movie/special

A Christmas Story, written by master raconteur and inventor of talk radio Jean Shepard, is very good but I don't watch it every year.

"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--

YESYESYESYES.

BEST Christmas movie EVER.

"You couldn't hear a DUMPTRUCK driving through a Nitroglycerin plant!"

Oh yeah I forgot about Christmas Vacation. Awesome film. My first year I was married I spent about $500 on lights and took a day off and went apeshit on my house. The ex still calls me Sparky.

Christmas vacation, Christmas story are both classics!

hahaha those 2 are halarious

Home Alone 1 and 2 are always a must see during the holiday's. reminds me of my childhood cuz i was a child when they came out.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is now a ritual of mine to watch every year a couple of days after Thanksgiving to get into the Christmas spirt. i love chevy chase.

A Christmas Story - for the last 3 years or maybe even more, it has been on tv for 24 hours starting Christmas Eve. i always watch parts of it, but never the whole thing at once. well this year i finally watched the whole thing and now it is part of another ritual to watch it on Christmas Eve.

A Charlie Brown Christmas! classic.

A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned... but probably my favorite of all time is an old made for TV movie with Ed Asner called â??The Gatheringâ??.

Watership Down was on again tonight, an absolute classic.

I like Love Actually. It's not all Christmas Story but it has a holiday theme.

Up in Smoke is the best holiday movie of all time.
Babes in Toyland would be my favorite non cool movie.
