didn't want to mess up the favorite christmas commercial thread.

christmas vacation has to be #1 on everybody's list unless you hate america.

they're making a new "vacation" movie soon. ed helms will be playing rusty, who is now the father. chevy chase and whats-her-face will be the grandparents. seems like it might work, maybe.

I'm not sure how or why "Elf" has made it to the ranks of a classic christmas movie, but I highly dislike that fact.

Why? Because it's less than 10 years old?

and the correct answer is It's A Wonderful Life

Christmas Vacation is the best all around.

Mocat, despite you woofing at me on another thread, you have excellent taste in Christmas movies. Do you cry every time you watch "It's a Wonderful Life" too?

Christmas Vacation

Funny story about It's A Wonderful Life. For starters, it did not get good reviews when it came out, and didn't really do anything in the box office. Years later, when the film company forgot about it and stopped renewing it's rights (by accident, I believe) a TV station swooped in a got it for free. They decided to air it around Christmas, and for some reason people started liking it because they thought it was a classic. No, it was just old. And boring. And Jimmy Stewart has the most annoying voice of any actor ever. He even ruined a couple Hitchcock movies for me with his voice.

Everyone hated Christmas Vacation when it came out. (Probably because it's crap suck town compared to the original.) Now, I keep seeing people saying they like it. I guess the mean has regressed to it.

it's been proven (by science) that it is the best christmas movie of all time

Yes I cry when Mr Gower slaps little George then realizes little George prevented Mr Gower from giving somebody poison by accident and they cry and become bffs.

Sorry I woofed you but you had one of the most woofable intros ever
