    Each year I need to see:

    Very Very Bad Santa
    All I want for Christmas is a ...nevermind....


    Ok ok, enough of that. I have yet to see Polar Express, but it is playing in Imax so maybe I'll take my niece and go see it.

    2. Charlie Brown Christmas

    4. Rudolph
    5. Christmas Story (used to be number 2 or 1, but really, I'm a little sick of it)
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    "It's a wonderful life" Man I miss Jimmy Stewart!
    and recently: "Polar Express" this one was an instant classic.
    "Love actually" is becoming another seasonal favorite of mine.

    I can't understand why people watch the same flicks every Xmas. It's not like they've changed since last year! :confused:

    Absolutely! I mean Rudolph (the animatronic (sp) version) was a good story, but I've seen it every Christmas for the past 15 years. I really don't feel a need to see it again. Sure I'll sit in the same room if my family is watching it, but don't expect me to pay a lot of attention to it.

    Of course, this is from a guy who doesn't like football, and doesn't enjoy watching sports in general.

    I ate pizza last night. Hasn't changed much since the first hundred times I ate pizza, but it's still enjoyable :)

    It's your favorite, but you mess up the "Must be Italian" line? ;)

    "Look, Fra-gee-lay! Must be Italian!"

    The Bumpas hounds are my favorite.




    But the movie I watch every year usually because it's on TV somewhere is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Mainly because I can identify with so much of it! But unlike nms, I can watch it every year and laugh my **** off at it without fail!

    First 2 I always think of have been mentioned above.....Christmas Vacation and The Family Man. Hell, it's only around Christmas that I think about watching them again, anyway, so what's a once a year tradition?

    You don't like football? Hmmmm......
    Richard? Who's your favorite Little Rascal? Alfalfa? Or is it........................Spanky?.................................Sinner.

    George C Scott's version of A Christmas Carol.

    Bingo bango!!
    Take Alistair, Reginald and Stewart and throw 'em out. Scott rules the roost.
    Other than that... Nightmare Before Christmas and Scrooged.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore
