It's that time of year, so here's your obligatory Christmas thread. For me, I haven't seen too many Christmas films. Of the ones I have seen, the ones worth mentioning are Christmas Vacation, Bad Santa and the Home Alone series (well, the first two films, though the third has its merits). My favourite of all of these by far though is Home Alone 2 (which I'm actually watching right now, as it's on TV). Why is it my favourite Christmas film? In short, here's your answer:     If I had to pick just one flaw though, in an otherwise brilliant film.....  |

It's A Wonderful Life is the definitive Christmas film to many even though most of the film isn't actually that Christmassy though a great film either. I also love Die Hard, Muppet Christmas Carol, Home Alone, Gremlins, Elf and probably more I'm forgetting.

Gremlins isn't bad either, and I've been meaning to see It's A Wonderful Life and Die Hard for a long time |

I actually never watched Home Alone 2, but Home Alone the first movie is really fun for sure, yea.
I have never watched Muppet Christmas Carol...Or any of those "cartoonish" classic movies, not sure why though haha.
Die Hard I love but I'm not sure whether to call it a Christmas film or not.

Die Hard I love but I'm not sure whether to call it a Christmas film or not I mean it does have a strong message of connecting with family and other loved ones. Which is a very christmassy message. But yeah I get why people would say it's not a christmas movie despite it taking place on christmas. |

You should check it out, it's actually a million times funnier haha |

Christmas has passed though ;~; IMDB can go fuck themselves, Home Alone 2 is one of the funniest films around; certainly the funniest Christmas film by far. It improves upon the original in nearly every way, such as in the booby traps, the Sticky Bandits, the Pigeon lady, the Cool Jerk and Tim fucking Curry.

It's the song Uncle Frank listens to while dancing and screaming at Kevin in the shower. And the old man's boring in comparison |

And the old man's boring in comparison "Old man is boring in comparison" oh boy can't wait for that lol. I thought "cool jerks" were a character haha. Also, point of inquiry, there's a bit of mistake in your grammar, it's very unclear in its meaning. "It's the song Uncle Frank listens to while dancing and screaming at Kevin in the shower." Do you mean it's the song Uncle Frank listens to while dancing in the shower and screaming at Kevin, or do you mean the song Uncle Frank listens to while he dances and screams at Kevin who's taking a shower? |
