Title: Best Holiday Movies
Post by: Reconsgt on November 24, 2009, 08:52:10 PM
Tis the season for the holiday movies to start playing. What are some of your favorites,

For me the best holiday movie ever is National Lampoons Christmas Vacation,   I never get tired of this one. I love the Griswalds!

I love  National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, though I have to admit that I have gotten a soft spot for "elf" over the last few years.. though not the end.. it's too sappy.. but it's not so bad. =)

Our family also busts out the stop motion Rudolf movies every year too. they are the best!

Well, NL Christmas Vacation IS the bar that has been set.  It'll always be #1!  The Grinch and Elf also come in after that.  And of course, A Christmas Story is a staple that must be watched yearly!

An okay movie would probably Home Alone, as it goes along with the holiday season.

The best Christmas movie of all time is Diehard.

But yeah, christmas vacation is quite funny, I also like reindeer games, but I'm not sure why.

Die Hard IS definitely a Christmas movie!  The cool thing about A Christmas Story is, Ralphie actually grew up in my area, went to school, and still lives around the region.  My mother in law grew up 2 streets over from Ralphie and his family!
