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.

I have never seen either of those shows. Thanks.

do i have to even say it...cos i want to...but...i shouldn't have to.

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

Is tradition broken if its not Stouffer's?

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

it appears to be running on STARZ most of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. 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.

USA shows it quite a bit

Ill search for it tonight when I get home. Thanks.

Which part did you find depressing? The physical assault on a child? 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.

You know me like that.

not mentioned...(can someone just make the "not christmas story, vacation, elf, scrooged, die hard" list?)

i guess i will.

movies:

"you'd better watch out"
"christmas slay"
"gremlins"
"the ref"
"iron man 3"

tv (excluding the standards):

"mystery science theatre 3000: santa claus"
"mystery science theatre 3000: santa claus conquers the martians"
"simpsons roasing on an open fire"
"the simpsons: marge be not proud"
"beavis and butt-head do christmas"

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.
