Top 10 Christmas Movies

For me it's National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and it's not all that close. Chase and Quaid were nothing short of brilliant in that.

Lenny knows my likes of all movies even the Christmas ones.  CHRISTMAS CAROL, especially the one with Sims is near the top of my list.  I've picked up another one with Barbara Stanwyck & Fred MacMurray that I can't think of the name of right now.  But one I have to mention is the worst named Christmas movie ever - IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME, a remake of SHOP AROUND THE CORNER; and a darn good one!

It is the 1951 A Christmas Carol starring Alastair Sim that will always be #1 in my book.

That one and It's a Wonderful Life would be 1a and 1b.

Remember the Night is the movie and a good one.

I'll add one more even though the day has just passed and this is one that folks may not consider a "Christmas Movie"
Daddy's Home 2. It does take place at Christmas time and has the right message, so I put it in the Christmas movie category. Lots of laughs and a great cast.

While it was only a short, I'm surprised there is no love for "A Charlie Brown Christmas" in this group. Rarely played on TV anymore because it is about 27 minutes long. (There were fewer commercials back in those days.)

Put me in the "Die Hard is not a Christmas movie" column.

Home Alone has arguably the funniest 10 1/2 minute stretch of any movie I've seen, Christmas or otherwise. Laugh out load funny physical humor.
