It's the holidays, so let's do this again because this board doesn't have the ability to have ugly snow graphics so we have to bring holiday cheer in other ways. My top 5 movies, in no particular order: Christmas Vacation Scrooged Christmas Story Elf Die Hard My top 5 shows, in no particular order: Hard Rock, Coco, and Joe(I used to love this stuff on Bozo) How The Grinch Stole Christmas SNL Christmas Special(fast forward past the terrible Gilly stuff) Frosty The Snowman(even though there literally is no point to the whole thing, he moves, and then leaves) Rudolph(he wants to be a dentist!) "It's A Wonderful Life" was 6th, but I like all those other movies more. |

1) Planes, Trains, & Automobiles (I know its Thanksgiving, but still the Holiday season) 2) Elf 3) Christmas Vacation 4) Lethal Weapon 5) Miracle on 34th St (I like the original and the remake) Two of my favorite xmas TV shows are The Andy Griffith Show Christmas Story, and The Honeymooners Christmas. Both are funny, but very touching. I contend that Ralph Kramden's speech at the end of the Honeymooners Xmas episode is one of the best Christmas monologues show business has ever given us. |

When we were kids my brother started making a tape of the TV off all the good shows the Grinch Mickey's Christmas Carol Garfield Charlie Brown was the night before Christmas and the Saturday night live specials Our tradition was to decorate the tree makes stouffers french bread pizza and watch the tape....and now we do it with our kids. I look forward to it every year Scrooged is my favorite (BM was in the zone) I like A Very Brady Christmas too. Its so unapologetically corny |

Indeed. Its one of those movies you can watch every year at Christmastime and still laugh out loud a few different times. |

That is one of the movie channels I don't get and won't be home at that time anyway. Maybe I will try to rent it. |

Die Hard Scrooged A Christmas Story Elf Christmas Vacation It's A Wonderful Life may actually be the most depressing movie ever made. |

TBone, It will be on regular cable as well. We watched it on ABC Family last weekend. I think there might be 1 curse word in the movie so you can watch it on regular TV and not miss anything. |

The perverted peeping Tom of the naked teenage girl? The violent, scary proposal? The prostitution? The verbal abuse of the senile elderly? The attempted suicide? All that stuff just screams "Christmas" at my house. |

Bad Santa. I like Nightmare Before Christmas, but probably not top 5. It's a Wonderful Life, but only in Spanish. I can't even watch A Christmas Story anymore. |

 @ Iron Man 3. I may have to consider that for my list.For me: Charlie Brown Xmas Elf The Man Who Came to Dinner Mickey's Xmas Carol The Muppet's Xmas Carol RPB, I like the Garfield Xmas one, too. CBS always used to show it, but maybe 15 yrs ago or so they stopped. |

Holiday Inn is my #1. The movie where "White Christmas" debuted. Crosby, Astaire beats the crap out of White Christmas. |
