I had a special request to do a list of top holiday films. Now, there was not specification on which holiday, but since I am sitting next to my Festivus Pole, I am inspired by...wait, nothing in general. So the question is, what are your top holiday movies of all time?
7. Home Alone
ReplyDelete6. Elf
5. Gremlins
4. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
3. Nightmare Before Christmas
2. Love Actually
1. Die Hard
PHEW. Thank you for not limiting it to 5! Love your #1.
ReplyDelete7. Scrooged -- The best 80s version of Dickens.
6. The Santa Claus -- "You're in denial, Dad." "You don't even know what denial means."
5. Those creepy clay-mation movies from the 1960s about Rudolph and Santa -- oddly comforting
4. The Holiday -- The one time it is hard for me to choose between Jack Black and Jude Law.
3. White Christmas -- Love me some Bing Crosby!
2. Charlie Brown Christmas -- Best movie soundtrack ever.
1. Home Alone -- Most quotable holiday movie of all time.
So, a few things.... 1. I haven't seen 3 or 6. Two, the creepiest thing about the claymations is that Mrs. Claus calls Santa "Papa". And, three, How did I forget Mickey's Christmas Carol?
ReplyDeleteOh MAN. How could Mickey slip past us both? You MUST see 3 and 6 - they are excellent. I have never seen your 4 or 5 - but this can be fixed. And, I totally agree with Mrs. Claus. A close second in the creepy department is that my dad sings her "There's Always Tomorrow" spot on...
