I didn't see a thread for this. Which is surprising. Maybe some lists are buried in the random thread.
Anyway....there is always a debate about what is, or isn't a Christmas movie (Die Hard). Well guess what? After a quick google search, every list from IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, magazine articles, all lump in Die Hard, and other movies that take place around Christmas, even if Christmas isn't the driving force of the plot.
I think considering Rotten Tomatoes didn't even put Home Alone in their list disqualifies them from being movie critics of any kind, period, in my book now. But Esquire had a decent list: http://www.esquire.c...es-of-all-time/
(Disclaimer: I haven't seen It's a Wonderful Life. So maybe that disqualifies me. But whatever).
My top 10 Christmas movies:
10. Home Alone 2
9. Miracle on 34th St. (either one)
8. Scrooged
7. Elf
6. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
5. A Christmas Story
4. The Santa Clause
3. Christmas Vacation
2. Die Hard
1. Home Alone
If you want to kick Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Die Hard off the list, then add The Muppet Christmas Carol and Bad Santa to the back end of the list and shift everything else up one notch.
