ELF, yes! For those who don’t love Elf, you have a black, black soul and I have no time for you. Gets better and better everytime I see it.

I’m finding it really hard to find new christmas movies each year. I liked The Bishop’s Wife when I was young. Might try that again.

Die Hard isn’t a freaking Xmas movie. Why do people say otherwise? I guess if you put a christmas tree in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, then it would become a must see holiday film for families.

You forgot a few more good ones I think are definitely worth buying to watch: Christmas Story (Jim Carey), Polar Express, Christmas with the Kranks and Deck the Halls. Love those movies as well.

Your list is right what I would have named, just hard to choose only 8!!! Like you, 3 of my very favorites are Elf, It’s a Wonderful Life, and Scrooged. Love Actually is also great.

Garrett –

No, I am not a troll. I do like good cinema, but many of the films I listed I simply don’t find funny. Funny for me is more along the lines of verbal wordplay from the old screwball comedies in the 30′s and 40′s, or situational comedies from the 60′s. Gross-out humor is not funny to me, which is why a lot of modern ‘comedies’ don’t strike me as worth watching. In other cases, I’ve seen the films so many times that the appeal has totally worn off and instead I’d prefer to see a blank screen instead of the TBS marathon of “A Christmas Story”.

I’m old school when it comes to humor. Give me Jack Benny or The Marx Bros. over Will Ferrill or Jim Carrey. I’ll take the verbal battles of Carey Grant and Katerine Hepburn over most of today’s comedic couples.

TalG quote “A Christmas Story, National Lampoon Christmas Vacation, Scrooged, Bad Santa, Elf and Home Alone are all movies that either a) were not funny/amusing or b) were painful to watch the first time”

My head is spinning.

You have GOT to be a troll. No one person can dislike ALL of those movies. I’d have a hard time finding one person that didn’t like ONE of those movies…. Maybe my grandmother + Bad Santa.

I would LOVE to get inside your head for research purposes – what you think is humor…..
