TTHOTUC's Christmas Movie Smack-Off 2013

[EllRobersonisInnocent]

I HAVE SO MANY OPINIONS THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO RESPOND TO!!!

1. Home Alone 2 is way funnier, but I understand if you like the first one better for nostalgia's sake. Watch them back to back (like I do once a year) and tell me the 2nd isn't funnier. Although now that I think about it, I've always had more alcohol in my system when I watch the second.......

I totally agree Steve. I watch them back to back like 8-10 times a year though.

vacation.

love actually

i voted home alone, it's perfect. i'm not sure how you guys are putting christmas vacation up at number one, maybe i've heard "you need to drive by the johnson's, they think they're the griswalds!" too many times. did the die hard guys have mothers that loved them? good grief.

um because Christmas Vacation is the best on all levels. Hilarious, sad, sweet, funny.

2) Love Actually is a great addition, definitely number 2

3) Elf is actually(!) really good, I love it.

4) Home Alone was by far my favorite as a kid (probably the hardest I ever laughed up to that point the first time I saw it), but I rewatched it lately and it's probably 4th now.

GMAFB w/ these black and white movies.

word on the street is that oscar has the team over one a week to watch home alone.

I'm about to create 10 socks so I can bump Home Alone to #1 in the poll.

I didn't really like Love Actually.  Which is weird, because when I want to like a movie I usually do.  I got interrupted 3/4ths of the way through and it was pretty depressing so I put on The Dark Knight Rises instead.

You can tell there aren't a lot of ladies around because White Christmas is nowhere to be found. 

Close for me between Christmas Carol (George C. Scott), Christmas Vacation, and Love Actually, but I guess I'll go Love Actually. So many facets of love explored: young, unrequited, forbidden, lost, parental, dude, physical, etc., throughout the Christmas season. Really pulls at the ol' heartstrings.         

I think I saw Wonderful Life for the first time when I was 13-14. So depressing. Really pissed me off. "THIS is what people think is a great Christmas movie?"

I don't get the Love Actually's. I tried, but I couldn't. 

[j-dub]

this sort of sentiment has had a devastatingly negative effect on my life i'm sure.

and yet i can't help myself. 

[Tobias]

that's so perfectly j-dub

elf makes me laugh out loud more than any of the other christmas movies on the list.. so many great one liners

home alone has stood the test of time and does have the nostalgia factor that will never go away

I know. However, his recent post in the Master Dating Thread was kinda  for our hopeless romantic.

That's Holiday Inn, son.

White Christmas is definitely the best musical, though.

Why would you make fun of someone for liking Elf?  It's a terrific movie.

It's a Wonderful Life isn't even really about Christmas, it's just about some dumb guy IIRC.
