List some Great Christmas Movies

1) Are you trying to make an enemy out of me, my friend? Iron Man 3 is awesome. I will be enjoying it one week from now on Christmas Day. Also Thor: The Dark World was my favorite of that trilogy. I'm just gonna say trilogy because I don't wanna talk about Thor: Love and Thunder.

2) Violent Night is absolutely fucking wonderful. When I saw it in the theater last year, I haven't laughed that much at a movie in quite awhile.

Tony Stark peaked in Iron Man 2. All movies forward he began a character decline until he embraced the role of whiney douchecanoe that started in Iron Man 3. Were are just lucky Ben Kinsgly's brilliant work was able to salvage enough of that film to make it tolerable in light of the disaster that was the writing for Stark.

Also, anything Taiki Waititi touches is gold. Your judgement must be questioned. The 4th Thor film while not great was wildly better than the meaningless villain and irrelevant romance that was Thor 2, saved only by the fact any screen Kat Dennings walks in to should be worshiped.

Man, you're really pressing my buttons today... but also bringing it back to things I 100% agree on. :laughing

Kat Dennings is one of my unapologetic crushes.

Also, speaking of Taika Watiti, did you see Next Goal Wins? It's might favorite funny and super feel good movie of this year.
 
The OP has is spot on....Die Hard.
We watch that when we decorate our tree. It's the best way to kick off the Christmas season...

A Die Hard admission is all good as it is my favorite Xmas movie. Also just flat ass one of my fav's period.

Violent Night looks great. I have not seen it.
Bad Santa is very good too, but I have a feeling it may get knocked down a notch when I see Violent Night. :teeth

The Mel Gibson one looks good to Lefty. :Port

For those that say Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie...so a movie taking place at Christmas, at a holiday party, where the protagonist is trying to reconnect with his wife at Christmas, is not a Christmas movie, but a kid left behind by his rich dumb parents on Christmas who successfully holds off home invaders, is?

Elf can't be a Christmas movie, it just happens to be about one of Santa's elf trying to find his father, it just happens to take place at Christmas.

lol

It is sad to me that 2 Broke Girls was so godawful. She has great comedic chops if she isn't being punished with such intolerable writing.

I haven't, seen NGW though, I will have to check it out. :thumbup

I would totally have rocked that sweater when I was a kid. Hell, I’d do it now.

As it so happens, I am wearing this right now as I write this…

30 posts and no mention of It's a Wonderful Life. This is how you end up on FBI watch lists.
 
Every year the wife and I watch Love, actually. It keeps getting better and better. Also, it can serve as the prequel to Die Hard.

YES!

It's a Wonderful Life for an old classic movie! :thumbup

Elf for a new classic movie! :thumbup

I try to watch both each year.

But I have to admit to never having seen Violent Night. Sounds like I should check it out.
 
"Miracle on 34th Street", "White Christmas", "The Lemon Drop Kid", "Going My Way"/"Bells of St Mary's"... movies for the geriatric section of barf.... ;)

Those are all trash. :laughing

Its a Wonderful Life has bank fraud, poverty, alcohol abuse, prostitution, families ripped apart, a spiraling mental health crisis, and a great dance scene. Now that's a Christmas movie.

How dare you.

Die Hard is absolutely a Christmas movie. The movie starts and ends with Christmas songs dammit! He’s there for her company’s Christmas party on Christmas Eve. He sends Karl’s brother down the elevator wearing a Santa hat with Ho-Ho-Ho written on his sweater. These are not coincidences.

Now you know what!? Die Hard 2 is also a Christmas movie then now that I think about it.

Christmas movies do not come out in the month of July. I don't care what the plot is. Die Hard is not a Christmas movie and neither is Die Hard 2...which also came out in the month of July. :twofinger

I just had this discussion with one of my best friends and we agreed on two different categories.

Christmas movies

and a sub-category, Christmas adjacent movies.

There's tons of Christmas movies we all like but a lot of the movies in this thread are movies that take place during Christmas but they are not specifically about Christmas. That includes Die Hard and Iron Man 3.

Personally, I enjoy Christmas adjacent movies more. :laughing
