I'm watching The Muppet Christmas Carol starring Michael Caine and Kermit the Frog!

What is your classic movie during the Holiday season?

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

Obligatory.

Recently though

Is the best Christmas movie on my list this year.

 

[AngryChinchilla]

I always enjoy White Christmas. It's pretty much the whitest movie ever.

Spoiler

heh

It's on US Netflix, too.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

 

[Scoot McNairy]

Eyes Wide Shut for sure.

 

[GK86]

Elf. Love that movie. Loving it is my favorite.

 

[robotrock]

Jingle All the Way. Easily.

 

[John Kowalski]

Interstellar, truly a classic of holiday sci fi.

Who would've expected it to be so above and beyond.

 

[LaNaranja]

A Christmas Story is GOAT. That said I also really enjoy The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Iron Man 3 is also fantastic.

 

[rtcn63]

Cage, Leoni, Cheadle as the er... fantastical person of color who goes It's a Wonderful Life on Cage. Never realized that until recently, haven't watched it in a few years.

 

[a secret-boss]

Home Alone

Every Christmas season

 

[Red Comet]

I was going to post the Muppet Christmas Carol. Good work, OP.

 

[ComputerBlue]

There are so many, but I'll give you one that's hardly ever on peoples Christmas movie lists even though it should be.

Edit: To the people below me who posted the same, fuck yeah. Really, whenever I google Christmas movies and/or look at lists, this almost never gets a mention. OP, you know what to do.

 

[LeleSocho]

My personal Christmas movie, it isn't 24th of December if i don't watch this.

Edit:

There are so many, but I'll give you one that's hardly ever on peoples Christmas movie lists even though it should be.

 

[Smellycat]

Bad Santa

Home Alone

Elf

 

[Betty]

Raymond Brigg's Father Christmas, showing you how Santa spends the rest of his year while dealing with the realities of being Mr Clause.

And you can't go wrong with It's A Wonderful Life.

 

[Warm Machine]

Elf for the entire family

Die Hard for me.

 

[Cowlick]

Anyone?

Probably the only movie where you'll see John Lithgow eat candy and float into space.

 

[Rösti]

Being Swedish, this:

Not a movie, but the Christmas calendar/show from 1991. Available for free on SVT's (Swedish Television) Open Archive: http://www.oppetarkiv.se/etikett/titel/Sunes_jul/

Not sure if it's available only to people in Sweden, but it's there if you wanna check it out. Otherwise I usually watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

 

[Blues1990]

Trading Places & Arthur Christmas. These two are my favourite moves that I love watching during the holiday season. One is a film about a pair of multi-millionare tycoons that place a bet to see if they could ruin a man's life & turn a homeless bum into an overnight success, while Arthur Christmas is a film about Santa's clumsy son that goes on a mission to deliver a present Old St. Nick had misplaced to a young girl.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Anyone?

That would cost a fortuuuune!

 

[Fuzzy]

 

[Minus_Me]

Eyes Wide Shut for sure.

Wow I'm not the only one.

 

[Akahige]

Bad Santa is the only holiday movie I need.

 

[Sectorseven]

 

[Superflat]

Die Hard
Tokyo Godfathers
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Jingle All the Way
Scrooged

All classics to me

 

[thecheese]

All the ones in this video are classics.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Not a movie, but it's a 30 minute classic from 1983, don't watch the newer one with the same title.

And of course.

 

[dekline]

Bend over and I'll show you

 

[adj_noun]

Miracle on 34th Street, black and white, original version, final destination

 

[Zyae]

 

[anarckitty]

I like others that have been mentioned, but It's A Wonderful Life is the GOAT.

The 1971 tv version of "A Christmas Carol"

The art design is fantastic and you can even watch it on Youtube.

Amazing scene.

 

[Steamlord]

 

[nintendork666]

Home Alone, Gremlins, Die Hard (in that order)

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Movies I have to watch every year:

Santa Claus Conquers The Martians (MST3K)
A Christmas Carol (1984, George C. Scott)
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
A Christmas Story
Home Alone
The Santa Clause

 

[Colonel Mustard]

• Bad Santa
• A Christmas Story
• It's a Wonderful Life
• Gremlins
• Eyes Wide Shut
• Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas
• National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
• Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
• Trading Places
• Mickey's Christmas Carol
• A Charlie Brown Christmas

All of these + Die Hard. Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas doesn't get enough love either, it's great despite how it got toned down in later releases. (For some odd reason)

I love Bad Santa.

Spoiler

It may just outclass Christmas Vacation for me.

Who's that handsome creature.

 

[Head of Vengarl]

Has everything you need: smoking hot women (Sharon Leal & Jessica Stroup), Christmas cheer, Stringer Bell, family drama, Chris Brown being portrayed as an innocent kid. What more could you ask for?

 

[Jarrod38]

Cage, Leoni, Cheadle as the er... fantastical person of color who goes It's a Wonderful Life on Cage. Never realized that until recently, haven't watched it in a few years.

A really good movie.

Don't care what people say but I enjoy this movie. Not the greatest Christmas movie out there but at the same time I like Tim Allen stuff.

 

[Barajas_201]

 

[old]

Planes, trains, and automobiles

It's actually for thanksgiving, but close enough.

 

[Seventy70]

Underrated.

Got damn, I just watched this last night on Netflix. Alfred was excellent. I felt bad for him and Tiny Tim.
