a top 3 list  is so limiting. If  allowable I would add 

 

Scrooged

 

The Grinch who stole Christmas original version 1966

 

The Nightmare before Christmas.

 

A Christmas Carol Patrick Stewart version was brilliant too

 

 

 

 

 

Rule breaker!

There are three Christmas movies that I watch every year, without fail. Others rotate in and out (Elf, Home Alone 1 and 2, Die Hard, Gremlins, etc). 

But the every year must-watches?

The first is Christmas Vacation. Just about every scene and every beat of it crack me up. Endlessly quotable.

The second is the Rankin-Bass special Santa Claus is Comin To Town. I saw it for the first time as a stoned teenager, and Burgermeister Meisterburger cracked me up. What a character.

The third is the original Grinch cartoon. I mean..."Your soul is an appalling dump heap" ?! Gold, Jerry. Gold!!

Movies:

Christmas Vacation

Home Alone (Original)

A Christmas Story

 

Wifey and I watched the Holiday last night - she has mild fixation on Jude Law and claims it is OK because I get to watch Cameron Diaz while she gets all smitten. :lol:  It is a good Holiday movie.

 

Shows:

A year without a Santa Clause

Scrooge (prefer the original)

I was never familiar with it before but after so many mentions here I gave the movie Love Actually a shot...and it was a struggle for me!  I had to watch it in installments over the last 3 days because I had so much trouble getting into it!  Kept waiting for it to get better but man that one did nothing for me.  What am I missing!?

Nothing, it sucks. Props to you for sticking with it. Taking movie recommendations from TBD is an adventure.
