So I stole this idea's from Nick Pozek's Blog (www.bigpozstake.blogspot.com) but here is my countdown of top 6 (I know, why 6? well I needed to add 5 and I refused to go to 10) Christmas Movies:
6. The Santa Clause. Tim Allen kills Santa and must take over for him with hilarious results. I enjoy when he is binge eating during his office meeting. Thats basically my life except I dont get whisked away by reindeer's.
5. Christmas Vacation. Ok so Vegas Vacation is my favorite for obvious reasons but all the vacation movies are outstanding. Maybe some day I can have a Christmas rant like Clark.
Clark: Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is!
4. Bad Santa. Billy Bob Thorton and his midget friend dress up as Santa and his little helper to rob a department store on Christmas Eve. Just picture a dirty old man as Santa.
Kid: your beard's not real
Santa: It was real, but I got sick and my hair fell out.
Kid: How come?
Santa: I loved a women who wasnt clean.
Kid: Mrs. Claus?
Santa: No it was her sister.
3. Elf. Will Ferrell. As an elf. Thats how imagine the movie was pitched around Hollywood. The rest is a Christmas comedy for the ages. This movie even gives you an education as I learned that the best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing loud for all to hear!
Buddy (answering a phone): Buddy the elf, whats your favorite color?
Buddy: We elves stick to the main 4 food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup!
2. Jingle All the Way. An all star cast (Schwarzenegger, Phil Hartman, Sinbad!) combine to spread some Christmas cheer. Anybody who has gone to a mall on a weekend knows how crazy and insane shoppers are. This movie puts a fathers need to get his son the Toy of the year (a Turbo Man) which leads Arnold to somehow become Turbo man in the towns Christmas parade. Sinbad plays Arnold's nemesis to a T. Turbo man's catchphrase is "You can always count on me." Well you can count on this as a great Christmas Movie.
1. A Christmas Story. Any movie that is put on for 24 hours straight has to be #1 in it's category. I love watching random parts of this movie throughout the day. My favorite part is when the dad gets his leg lamp and worships it like its that of a goddess. I also like the end when the dogs eat the dinner and they go to a a Chinese restaurant for Christmas dinner. If you havent seen it, watch TBS anytime on Christmas day and no doubt you will agree with me.
Happy Holidays to everyone! Wishing you all health and happiness.
Love the list except Jingle All the Way. Not that I hate it, but it was so forgettable that all I remember is Arnold flying with a jet pack.
ReplyDeleteNice list Joe. Can't argue with A Christmas Story being #1. Kinda surprised by Jingle all the Way and Bad Santa being in front of Christmas Vacation. Great blog idea, wherever did you get it?
