(Vanity) Favorite Christmas Movies
Various FReepers | December 16, 2005 | Vanity, thy name is Owl_Eagle

Posted on 12/16/2005 12:31:40 PM PST by End Times Sentinel

Since there clearly haven't been enough vanities around here today, I figured I weigh in with one:

What are your three favorite Christmas Movies of all  time?

Me, I'm going with:

3.  A Christmas Carol (staring Patrick Stewart, 1999)

2.  A Very Brady Christmas (yes I'm serious)

1.  It's A Wonderful Life (one of the finest films of all time)

Alright FReepers, time to opine...

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

(You can't beat having Uncle Eddie coming over and emptying his holding tanks and then kidnapping your boss.)

A Christmas Story - hands down.

if we count movies that take place during Christmas time, then Gremlins.

Die Hard.

Now that's some good outside the box thinkin'.  Personally, I've never seen it, but a buddy of mine told me it was on every Christmas, so it definitely deserves mention.
