Best Christmas Movies
Nothing like a good Christmas movie. Here’s some of my favorites:
Hon. Mention: Die Hard — I know, I know … but Bruce Willis tackling terrorists in a high-rise over the holidays is hard to beat it … unless of course Jack Bauer did a 24 series on Christmas Eve!!
#5: Home Alone — a childhood favorite and I can go for “stupid-funny” movies. This one is just fun.
#4: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer/Frosty the Snowman –combination pick from my childhood. It’s wasn’t Christmas without these two holiday “clay” animations.
#3: A Charlie Brown Christmas – Charlie Brown can help anyone get the Christmas cheer!
#2: Christmas Vacation — my favorite in the National Lampoon series and possibly one of the funniest movies ever. Nothing like Clark W. Grizwold and Cousin Eddie to get us laughing into the Christmas spirit!!
#1: A Christmas Story — mine and Beth’s personal favorite. We are forever indebted to the folks at TBS for the 24-hour marathon showings of this classic. From “triple dog dares” to the “queen mother of all bad words” this one has some of the best lines ever … and it is pretty insightful about family dynamics.
