Best Holiday Movies

[stayillogical]

What do you think?

I, for one, have had the urge to watch Love Actually for over a month now but can't find it. It's killing me. I'm just going to have to watch it online. So what are some other favorites?

[LV03]

yea i always like to watch love actually before christmas.

Home Alone is my #1 though

[EmoPunkKid28]

I'm a big fan of Love Actually, Home Alone, Elf, Christmas Vacation, The Santa Clause (the first one)...I adore Christmas and the movies it brings us, haha

And you can't forget A Muppet Christmas Carol. Michael Caine + Muppets for the win!

[googirl8907]

A Christmas Story

[kana900]

Love Actually is one of my favorite movies.I just saw it last week.
I'm watching The Santa Clause right now.That's a good one.I haven't seen it in so long.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

The grinch [cartoon]. Frosty the snowman and home alone.

And if it counts serendipity. It reminds me of the holidays atleast.

[Deadwomb88]

A christmas story, and Christmas vacation, are the only one that matter to me.

maybe Jingle All the way too.

Serendipity definitely counts. I love that one too. I saw it for my birthday whatever year that came out.

[cscwell107]

Its a Wonderful Life ftw!

[lolliot]

Home Alone is my #1 though

Christmas feels empty if I don't watch it with a friend of mine who has half the dialogue of the movie memorized. It's always so much fun to watch during the holidays, never gets old!

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

Winnie The Pooh and Christmas Too.

[LV03]

[AsItFallsApart]

Love Actually is amazingly good

I just watched it last week too, and will certainly watch it at least two more times before Christmas, haha.

And I forgot about It's a Wonderful Life, like someone else mentioned.

[jcoop05]

A christmas story, and Christmas vacation, are the only one that matter to me.

maybe Jingle All the way too.

[Trainsaw]

Christmas Vacation, i end up watching it at least 20 times a year

[Mirrorsandfevers]

Not Christmas, but Thanksgiving. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

[xfantabulousx]

Not Christmas, but Thanksgiving. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

I watch this at Thanksgiving every year with my family. Such a great movie.

Christmas Vacation is my favorite Christmas movie though. It's another one we watch every year.

[thiswokendream]

Christmas Vacation, Trapped in Paradise, and Jingle All the Way.

[colorlesscliche]

Elf. I've watched that movie so many times, and it's the only holiday movie I watch outside of Christmas.

[elenar011]

I was going to come in and say love actually, but you made the thread and said it in your first post. I love that movie to death. Probably watch it 2 times every december. as for other holiday movies.. I love Serendipity, and Die Hard (hey, it took place at a christmas party, so it counts).

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

the snowman fucking RULES
I remember buying it when I was a kid through these magazines featuring new kids books and videos we'd get at school. Must have watched it dozens of times because it's one of the few in that list I actually didn't forget about and it's burned in my memory. The animation kicked ass.

[CTMarshall]

all of the clay-mation movies. Oh and Jingle All The Way...
