    I was also going to say A Christmas Story & National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Those are my two favorite.

    One day, when I am domesticated in a home, I plan on decorating my house like the Griswold's.

    The Muppet Christmas Carol
    [/thread] You can wake me anytime for any Muppet movie. I don't watch much movies, let alone know some Christmas movies. Ehm... Black Adder with Rowan Atkinson perhaps. I should get my hands on The Nightmare before Christmas, never seen it, but know that Jack Skellington is awesome.

    The only christmas special I can care about is the Charlie Brown one.

    This is the Christmas Carol cartoon they used to show when I was young(er). It's way spookier than A Nightmare Before Christmas. You can find the other parts on YouTube by searching for "A Christmas Carol".

    The only movie that captures the spirit of Christmas is Die Hard.

    I don't think that The Nightmare Before Christmas was supposed to be creepy, it was supposed to be sort of a combination of How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

    The 3D version of The Nightmare Before Christmas was pretty awesome on the big screen.

    Most definitely, that added so much (I dare to say it, forgive me for the pun) depth to the entire experience and I hope that they release the 3D version on DVD.

    Bullshit. Tim Burton loves creepy. It was supposed to be creepy. Besides that, I said "spooky" not creepy.

    Finally, do you think that Rudolph and The Grinch weren't creepy? That weird kid with the Ronald Reagan spitcurl in Rudolph pulled all the teeth out of that Wampa's head. I shouldn't even have to talk about how Grinch was creepy . . .

    I have fond memories of watching those claymation Rudolf shows, I really like the one with the Heatmiser.

    This has been around for a few years but I just watched it with my boys last night. Olive, the Other Reindeer. Wow, what a fantastic little show. It is the most sarcastic, puntastic adventure I've seen in a long time. From the show, Olive: "What will we do now?" Martini: "Ever heard of deus ex machina kid?" Olive with a questioning look: "no." Martini: "Well I'd suggest you look it up, no let's go." I about fell out of my chair.

    Don't know when it's on again. It's like $7.50 on Amazon for the DVD, or check Netflix it's awesome.

    I just saw these with my friends on Saturday. It's one of those things that's only worthwhile when watched with a group. Watch at your own risk.
    The Night Before Cave Christmas:

    Super Mario Brothers Super Show: Koopa Klaus Part 1:

    And part 2:

    Agreed.

    My favorite is definitely Tokyo Godfathers and anything Ranklin Bass. I love all their stuff for the holidays. Also the Tendo Family Christmas Scramble from the Ranma 1/2 OVA.

    I think I probably seen every animated Christmas special made since the 60's. It used to be a tradition to do so until my mid teens.

    Tokyo Godfathers, you lose.

    I am going to watch the Samurai X OAV. I mean, it has the color red, and that's a christmasy color.
  • SparkybuzzedSparkybuzzed
    My TV is always on TNT's "24 Hours of A Christmas Story" Christmas Eve/Christmas Day. That way I'm sure to catch the whole movie at least once while I'm rushing around with family and food.

    I'm gonna one up the Muppet Christmas Carol (the best version of it since the 1951 Alistair Sim film) with The Muppet Family Christmas and Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas. You can get them in a two-pack. BTW, there's a special place in hell for the asshole that authorized the colorization of the Alistair Sim Christmas Carol.

    I'm too busy farming for Crimbo goodies to watch movies.

    Also, Cold Miser? You mean the Mechwarrior2 cheat code?

    Emmet Otter can die in a fire.

    Now, Joe, don't be bitter. Emmet Otter is the man.
