A Christmas Story is hands down the best of the bunch but there are few that come close. The ones that have been mentioned already being Bad Santa, A Christmas Vacation, and Die Hard, but there are some that haven't...
This thing scared the **** out of me and also has one of the most disturbing stories ever told in a "kids" movie. I'll always have a place in my heart for this movie. I get such a nostalgic feeling whenever I watch it. My family, along with our regular tree, goes out and gets a Charlie Brown tree every year. That alone tells you how much I love this movie. |

Surprisingly for a comedy with Arnie in it, "Jingle all the way" was actually quite good. Not brilliant, but very funny and not really very soppy at all.
Oh, and good call on "Nightmare before Christmas". Should be listed as one of THE classic Christmas movies. And even though it's animated, and on EVERY year, I always have a soft spot for "The Snowman"... it's just one of those things, y'know?
