Saw this on Internet

 

[Unholy Diver]

Christmas Vacation
Bad Santa
Santa's Slay

HM:

Violent Night
Arthur Christmas

 

[barriers]

They're all pretty great except the live-action Grinch (I'd never heard of Klaus though) so I just voted Die Hard

Honourable mention to Arthur Christmas which I just watched last weekend with my kids. It's a really nice Christmas movie

 

[Primary Assist]

Hip hip hooray for Christmas Vacation!

 

[hangman005]

Yeah I said Die Hard.... fight me.

Also Bad Santa and Home Alone.

 

[Satans Hockey]

 

[Neutrinos]

A Christmas Vacation for the laughs
A Christmas Story for the nostalgia
A Christmas Carol (1951) for the classic story

 

[Rodgerwilco]

You're missing my favorite Christmas movie... The Santa Clause with Tim Allen.

 

[JMCx4]

Can't believe Arnold Schwarzenegger's holiday classic Jingle All the Way didn't make the OP's list. I guess I won't waste a Christmas wish on the inclusion of Steve Martin's Mixed Nuts then, either.

 

[NyQuil]

My favourite Christmas movie is "the Ref".

 

[Pranzo Oltranzista]

I don't like Christmas movies, but you could stretch a little and include:

Brazil
Ma nuit chez Maud
Eyes Wide Shut

And of course Fanny and Alexander

They're all as much Christmas films as Die Hard is.

Enough with Die Hard being a Christmas movie. It is an action film that happens to be set at Christmas time.

It was also released in July! Yeah, really going for that Christmas market!

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Not listed:
The Year Without A Santa Claus

Typical North American bias, it's Love Actually.

-Christmas Vacation
-Elf
-Love Actually
-the Ref
-Die Hard
-Scrooged

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Typical North American bias, it's Love Actually.

North American bias on a predominantly North American website? The nerve!


Anyway, going with classics:

Home Alone
A Christmas Story
A Christmas Carol

 

[kihei]

A Child's Christmas in Wales
A Christmas Carol (Alastair Sim)

The Muppets Christmas Carol

Die Hard

 

[Pranzo Oltranzista]

Forgot one Christmas film that I like:

Le père Noël est une ordure.

Nothing to do with the shameful american remake.
