Home Alone is the best Christmas movie of all time

so.. I get that my age dictates my set of appreciations... however, I am stunned that there was not one mention of "White Christmas".. to me it is clearly the best, it speaks to the romance and good faith we should associate with the Christmas message... yes, it was from the early 50's and doesn't appeal to you younger guys... but for a military person who gravitates to the brotherhood and the strength of those associations, this movie is the perfect representation... so yes, I get that we love humor and escapism to remove ourselves from the grind of today... but this is one of my ways to harken back to better times... and yeah, I know I am an old foggie... so be it
Based on some of the requirements I've seen that put films into the Christmas movie listings, it's a solid 8+.
The "I have a machine gun, Ho, Ho, Ho" scene alone places it solidly into the Christmas movie list.
The best Christmas movie is “First Blood.”
Fight me…
Fight me…
But it's got to be the uncut version, Bad(er) Santa.
The boxing ring scene always has us on the floor rolling with laughter...
Not to mention "butt fucking in the big and tall section"
Hmm, in all my years I've never seen either It's a Wonderful Life, or Miracle on 34th Street either one.
A giant pat on the head to anyone who can post the connection between Andrew “Dice” Clay and It’s a Wonderful Life.
Without googling it.
Ah hahahahaha….

Our DIL saw Its a Wonderful Life for the first time last year, had her watch Miracle on 34th St just 2 weeks ago. I'm guessing you're under 40?
Some days, some days I get out of bed and I feel like I'm 80. Eh, life well lived I guess.Whippersnapper.
It's Christmas Story followed by Vacation.
That Vacation scene with the bonus check hits home for anyone with a job.

I have Escape from LA and The Wild Bunch on my phone and watch a bit of them every day.
It's a nice Christmas Story, but this is what happens when you leave Jussie Home Alone. Now he will be in prison Dreaming of A White Christmas and hoping for A Miracle On 34th Street.
Isn’t that more of a Thanksgiving classic??? I mean the way they use those drum sticks and the pie and all?

The Santa Clause, Home Alone 1&2, and Elf. And to toss in a lesser known option which my family finds hilarious, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.
Three Days of the Condor is undoubtedly THE best Christmas movie ever...

And we have a dark horse shooting up the leaderboard! I like it. It’s not as good a Christmas movie as Christmas Vacation but that’s just me
because commies and effeminate men have bastardized what the angel said. It said “Peace on Earth to men of good will.”
something WE ALL used to know.
Kaneohe Marine Corps Airstation; Oahu, Hawaii circa 1966
I'll never forget seeing this, I was stranded at Aston uni in Birminham, UK, over Christmas due to snow. We walked a couple of miles to a theater and I think it was the premier showing, 1990. I was with my best friend and his fiance, and a girl I should have married if I'd seen just a few years into my future.
I just pretend it doesn't exist. Just like when people claim that there are sequels to "The Sandlot". Nope. No there isn't. Not true. I refuse to accept it.
