FragileUndertow said: A Christmas Story The Exorcist. Released on Dec 26. Does that count? I'd kind of define a Christmas movie based on whether or not it takes place at Christmas time. But everyone has their own interpretation so if you want to call The Exorcist a Christmas movie then you go for it  | |

I kind of feel like I'm the only person who doesn't like Bad Santa. I saw it years ago when it first came out and I just didn't enjoy it. It's my dad's second favourite Christmas movie (next to Jingle All The Way) but it's not my kind of thing. I prefer to think of Santa Claus as Richard Attenborough in Miracle On 34th Street or even Tim Allen in The Santa Clause. A drunken Billy Bob Thornton is not my idea of Santa Claus.

Most of the popular choices I've never seen: Elf, Home Alone, Scrooged, Bad Santa, It's a Wonderful Life, etc. I generally prefer watching non-Christmas Christmas movies--the ones that are set primarily around the holidays, but aren't really about Christmas. Taking all that into account, these are the top five films I enjoy watching in December: 2. The Apartment (1960) 3. Un conte de Noël / A Christmas Tale (2008) 4. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) 5. Batman Returns (1992) 2. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) 3. Tokyo Godfathers (2003) - a Christmas anime 4. Joyeux Noël / Merry Christmas (2005) - about the WWI Christmas truce of 1914 5. Black Christmas (1974) - Christmas slasher film | |

If we're including Rankin-Bass stop motion specials (which are the most essential) and Thanksgiving stuff I'm doing a Top 10. #02. The Santa Clause #03. Dutch #04. Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (Rankin-Bass) #05. The Year without a Santa Claus (Rankin-Bass) #06. Batman Returns #07. #08. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York #09. Black Christmas (1972) #10A. A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas or #10B. Jingle All the Way or #10C. Bad Santa The one I badly want to like is Scrooged, but that film is very very uneven and kind of weird/coked-out 80s. The whole part where he takes over the TV special is wacked out. |

Rudolph is on YouTube. It's beyond a holiday staple for us Americans. More beloved than egg nog, it's up there with Christmas trees and holiday cookies.

https://www.youtube.com/w...1u7lHSMoIU [Edited 12/30/23 4:33am] I might check it out. But it feels a bit sad to be watching Christmas movies after Christmas I always see people talking about eggnog in American shows and movies. I never even knew what it was. But I've been told that it's fucking disgusting so I'll probably steer clear of that. | |
