Re: Top 5 Christmas movies
Ooo, Elf is a good one, it might be 5b at this point.
I have to put the classics (pre 1980) in another category. All three of those are great.

We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

Re: Top 5 Christmas movies
1. A Christmas Story
2. Elf
3. The Grinch (original)
Those are pretty much the only ones I watch. Frosty is a classic but honestly so dark that I find it haunting.
ETA: A Christmas Carol is great too but I haven’t watched it in so long I’m not sure where to rank it.

Re: Top 5 Christmas movies
Reds is one of my favorite Warren movies But I have to admit I never thought of it as a Christmas movie. Maybe I need to watch this movie again.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

Re: Top 5 Christmas movies
I made it home from the CCG just in time to put on my John McClain getup for a Christmas Costume party... Complete with wife beater, bloody feet and pistol taped to my back! Not to toot my own horn, but “toot, toot!” (Or should I say “Yippeekiyay!”)... They loved me!!! Yeah, Die Hard is my #1! Merry Christmas Mountaineers!appstatealum wrote: ↑Wed Dec 25, 2019 12:44 pmInstead of doing my regular derailing of a football thread....

Re: Top 5 Christmas movies
1. Christmas Vacation
2. Miracle on 34th Street
3. Scrooged
4. Die Hard
5. Gremlins
6. I'm going to give Klaus an honorable mention, that movie was pretty good from both an originality standpoint and incredible hand-drawn/2D animation. You should def. check it out if you have a Netflix account.

The opening scenes show his house decorated for Christmas, and those decorations destroyed in the attack.
