Best holiday movie?

Is it Home Alone? Me thinks so. How about you, OT? I'll also throw Elf in there too.

Not anymore!

Some good mentions already. I'm going to add Tokyo Godfathers.

Batman Returns and Die Hard.

A film that happens to be on Christmas, I don't think necessarily counts as a Christmas movie. I would count stuff like Jingle Bells, Home Alone, The Grinch, and such as Christmas movies. Films where the center is actually Christmas. :/

As for me, it would have to be The Polar Express.

The Ref is pretty funny.

”Your husband ain’t dead lady…..he’s hiding”.

Right off the bat I don't believe a holiday movie must be happy. The horror genre is what really separates itself when speaking of such films. I'm good watching Silent Night Deadly Night, Don't Open 'Till Christmas, Black Christmas, etc..,

First two Home Alones, Muppets Christmas Carol, the one with Jim Carry too. Still love Polar Express too!

@Solaryellow: you should watch Violent Night

@Chutebox: agreed on the Muppets Christmas Carol! That is my favourite take on the Christmas Carol.

I’d also put Elf and National Lampoon’s Christmas vacation as my top favourites.

Batman Returns
Elf
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Home Alone
The Muppets Christmas Carol

Elf

Also, there are some good holiday horror movies:

Krampus

Rare Exports

Gremlins

How does this thread go on for so long and nobody mentions A Christmas Story.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Easy choice got me.

Wasn't there a Very Harry Potter Christmas?

@mycatismilk: Agree with you the polar express is one of my favorite Christmas movies

Klaus

From what I have seen it looks interesting and something on the lines of the Silent Night Deadly Night remake from 2012. Hell, it might be bad but the previews give it some kind of panache usually missing.

It’s a Wonderful Life.

No other Christmas movie in the same ballpark.

Watched Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Good stuff.

Go 1999 was pretty good but the movie really doesn't appeal to me like it did in the late 90's.
