Original Star Wars. It’s what was on the telly growing up. That, and Bond movies.

Bond movies are an obscene omission here.

Also, what absolute heathen would watch the Star Wars prequels? At any time of year, but especially Christmas!

Especially when you could watch the Holiday Special instead!

Some people like them. Don't ruin their Christmas.

(I'm not one of those people but whatever makes your Christmas merry and bright my dudes.)

Oh no, my entire Christmas is ruined because some anonymous internet commentator said a series of movies I like sucked.

Grow up.

Yep, and Prequel Trilogy is an obscene inclusion -_-

I know the reference but somebody had downvoted you already, so I'm following in their footsteps. Merry Christmas you filthy animal!

Pretty much all of these are contenders, but LoTR is my fave!

Home Alone, Elf, Christmas Vacation, Christmas Story!

used to drink a pint of Jack Daniels and watch Batman Returns. A Christmas classic that never gets enough mention.

Alcoholism πŸ˜₯

Actually yes. I'm 900 days sober today. Still a dick thing to say though.

Mine is actually watching Band of Brothers! The HBO miniseries about Easy Company of the 101st Airborn during their campaign throughout WWII. That show is truly a work of art. The episode "Why We Fight" really opens your eyes. It's one of the only shows that really makes me tear up nowadays.

Start prequel trilogies.

Me: This is where the fun begins.

I would have more fun poking myself in the eye with a sharp stick.

that sounds like a porno.

I, uh, have to go now...

Should check out Santa's Slay with Goldberg.

NazzerDawkβ€’

It's got young Mila Kunis AND Don Stark in it, interestingly. Both of them were on That 70's Show (Jackie and Bob respectively).

MastaBustaβ€’

I really wanted to like that movie, since I love bad movies. But after he loses his memory, the film is just so fucking boring. Cannot recommend. For me, I'll stick with Silent Night, Deadly Night 2. Fucking masterpiece.

A Christmas Story

Just watched it with my twin 6 y.o. girls for the first time. They said they didn't like it at first, but by the end they loved it.

Yeah, about the one time a year TBS is turned on

Harry Potter, Love Actually, Christmas Vacation and the fake fireplace!

LOTR without a doubt!

Lethal Weapon, Black Christmas, Batman Returns, Christmas Evil, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Silent Night Deadly Night 1 & 5.

Every year, since its release, my girlfriend and I microwave some popcorn, curl up under a blanket on the living room couch in front of an artificial fire/heater (god-damn California city laws!), and watch Krampus. I got her the bell from Weta Workshop this year as her stocking-stuffer.

​

It's the perfect B-movie for people that hate Christmas. It starts out with a Black Friday Sale and people trampling each other while carols play in the background, kids cry on Santas' lap, and a kid dressed as a wiseman gets beaten the shit out of by a kid dressed as a reindeer. God bless the holidays, people.

We've made Die Hard our new tradition. Last year on VHS on a CRT television, this year in 4K.

I seriously love the idea of doing this VHS/CRT style as the tradition.
