Favorite "Modern" Holiday Movies

Geekyfanboy · November 23, 2007, 09:27:25 AM

Now that Thanksgiving is over and we start to gear up for the Holiday season I was wondering what everyones favorite "Modern" Christmas/Holiday Movie was. Let's say modern is post 1970. I'm going to create another thread for Favorite "classic" Christmas/Holiday movie also.

I think my favorite modern movies that I have to watch every year would be.

Elf
Home Alone
Jingle All The Way
A Christmas Story
The Santa Clause
Christmas with the Kranks
Love Actually

A Christmas Story- "You'll shoot your eye out!"

Most of my favorites are before 1970. But I do enjoy A Christmas Carol (the one with Patrick Stewart), The Family Man, The Polar Express and A Christmas Story. I love the next two, though they aren't specifically Holiday movies the story does take you through Christmas and New Years: You've Got Mail and When Harry Met Sally. The holiday scenes in those movies are a few of my favorite scenes the two films.

For me it would be A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation and Reindeer Games (No I just tease on that one ;) ). Might be a few more, but I like a lot of the Christmas TV episodes or specials.

In no particular order....

Die Hard....good call davekill. Not many people consider this a Christmas movie but I seem to not watch during the year until the Christmas season.

Along the same vein is the first Lethal Weapon...nothing says Christmas spirit like driving a cop car through your house and watching Mel Gibson and Gary Busey kick the livin crap out of each other on the front lawn.

A Christmas Story....NEVER get tired of this movie. "But I did't say fudge. I said the queen mother of them all"

Spongebob....Awesome call there Moyer777... I love this cartoon....so do the kids.

The Santa Clause...TIm Allen is great in this movie.

So true........and I completely forgot about Lethal Weapon - Doh!

I think this may warrant a new Christmas Movie thread "Best Action Hero Christmas Movies" :vaderxmas
