The old thread's creator changes usernames and avatars more often than anyone I have ever seen.

The new thread will bring some stability to both.

Soooo... in the spirit of the season, what's your favourite Christmas movie/show? Gotta be the Star Wars Christmas Special, right?

Die Hard 2 is.

Die hard. He’s wished a merry Christmas at the airport. His wife is named Holly. There are 12 terrorists at the CHRISTMAS party.

Emmit Otter's Jugband Christmas
A Charlie Brown Christmas
Blackadder's Christmas Carol
Whoops and All Mod Conned (Last of the Summer Wine specials)
Still Open All Hours Christmas specials are also really good

Phew.

I’m cheating and saying the episode of The Twilight Zone where Art Carney is a drunk department store Santa.

 

[Lord Defect]

Jingle all the way is a staple.
I don’t know if I have a favorite Christmas movie. Just a few we try to watch yearly.

 

[BillDineen]

Elf

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I have no doubt that this would be the best Christmas movie of all time if it were made into a full length feature. This and the same character's movie from Home Alone 1 were movies I had hoped were real when I was little.

1 - Christmas Vacation
2 - A Christmas Story
3 - Its A Wonderful Life

The rest

Die Hard
Home Alone 1 & 2
Rudolph
Muppet Christmas Carol
Elf
White Christmas
Charlie Brown Christmas
Arthur Christmas
Jingle All the Way
Polar Express

I watch every one of these every Christmas season. There are others I rotate in every few years like Gremlins, Scrooged, Ernest Saves Christmas, and more.

8-Bit Christmas, which came out last year, is quickly moving onto my favorites list.

 

[Flybynite]

Die Hard 2 is.

If Home Alone 2 can be a Christmas movie then Die Hard 2 def should.

Happy Life Day!

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (with a very young Pia Zadora). Only digestible when viewed through the MST3K lens.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

So I just saw a trailer for some new thing coming out staring Jesse Eisenberg and Adrian Brody. I missed the name....Manotwer? Is this Fight Club 2.0?

@Magua I hear you're a guy that likes movies films.

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I’m going to throw Trading Places into the list of Christmas movies as well.

 

[Lotusflower]

Eyes Wide Shut

The greatest film ever made. And also the only Tom Cruise film that is even remotely watchable.

Check this out.

"The Iron Claw

The Iron Claw stars Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) and Harris Dickinson (Triangle of Sadness) – not that you'd necessarily recognise any of them. The normally skinny actors have piled on absurd amounts of muscle to play three members of the Von Erich wrestling family. The Texan brothers were stars in the 1980s, but this biopic, written and directed by Sean Durkin (Martha Marcy May Marlene), explores why the Von Erichs were never far from tragedy, even when they were pummelling opponents in the ring. "The Iron Claw is an absolute knockout," says Scott Menzel. "A heartbreaking tale of toxic masculinity and mental health. Zac Efron delivers a transformative performance that is easily his best work as an actor. It's gripping, deeply emotional, and powerful." Lily James co-stars as the wife of Efron's character, Kevin Von Erich.

Released on 22 December in the US and Canada"
