-
Christmas Story
Christmas Vacation
Home Alone (1 and 2)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Cartoon, though the Jim Carrey one would get an honorable mention)
I do also enjoy White Christmas, Elf, The Santa Clause, and Jingle All the Way, but they are kinda in a 2nd tier compared to the top 5 there.

Mixed up the holidays.
I would argue that Christmas and Thanksgiving are basically the same at this point. And PT&A is still a better Christmas movie than all the other kiddie, home alone, grinch bullshit out there.

Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. It's a movie that happens to be set around Christmas. I'm sick of this crap.

Have never seen Love Actually, actually. Nor the family stone or w/e. I don't really consider It's A Wonderful Life to be a Christmas movie because the instance of Christmas is not essential to the plot, unlike Home Alone, which is a Christmas movie that would be uninspiring were it not entwined with the celebration of the alleged birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

in home alone, christmas only serves as A) a plot device to keep the family from being able to return quickly, due to busy holiday travel, and B) a reason for 20th century fox to open the movie right before Christmas 1990 and clear over $500 million on an $18 million budget

Christmas is more important to the plot of die hard than home alone, and that is indisputable

What you're saying is false, because I can dispute that.

Although Rotten Tomatoes places the action thriller at #7 on its list of the 25 Best Christmas Movies Of All Time, and the UK film magazine Empire has argued that it's "the greatest Christmas movie ever made," the majority of Americans (56%) do not consider Die Hard a Christmas movie, according to a recent poll conducted by YouGov Omnibus. Only one in five (19%) members of the public do.

So you and that drama queen who started a thread to show how smart he thinks he is and then threw a tantrum like a little bitch and abandoned it can stick that in your pipes and smoke it like a bowl full of jelly.

just now seen it again, probably when I saw it the first couple times I wasn't aware enough (because I was a kid) to know wtf I was watching
-
FYI - for purposes of your top 5 (or 10) Christmas movies posted ITT, Die Hard and Home Alone absolutely count.
PT&A DOES NOT
Thank you

Rick Daris and I were discussing this once a long time ago, and that's how good Love Actually is. I remember that I first went and saw it in the theater as one of those "OK, it's her turn to pick the movie so try and not be a dick about this" times. I was honestly blown away on how good it was. And not in some sort of like overtly awesome way, but in a good old fashioned heart felt way. I dare you to watch that movie and not cry, and yet feel good about it.
-
Doesn't surprise me that spracne's cold cold hearted ass has never seen love actually
-
I don't like Love Actually... sorry Pete. I am too dark hearted for that sort of thing anymore.
