Least Favourite Christmas Movie?

[Hedji]

^ Agreed 100%. My family saw A Christmas Story in the Theater in its original run and were laughing our butts off. Loved it always.

For those that haven't taken the time to watch A Christmas Story, you're missing out. Jean Shepherd is a story telling god.

Related to my least favorite, never really cared for the Santa Clause, and the Polar Express is a cute story, but it just comes out as creepy.

As much as I love "A Christmas Story", I'll give everyone a pass cause it's definitely a like it or lump it movie. And, like everyone claims about beer, it's an acquired taste and gets better every time. However, anyone that rains on either version of "Miracle on 34th St" is in for a trashin'.

A Christmas Story for me to. I've never seen it as well and don't get what all the fuss and merchandizing is all about.

If you've never seen it, how would you get what all the fuss is about ?

Watched Christmas at the Kranks tonight. This is by far the WORST Christmas movie made so far. Just terrible.

I'm gonna' go with A Christmas Story. Never seen it, but every time I see this kid's stupid face, I want to give him a good open hand smack.

How can you rate a movie you've never seen as the worst Xmas movie? :/

Never seen it but I'm going to agree :D

Great timing it just started on AMC!

Black Christmas.

FYI - this is not a sequel to "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner".

Not. At. All.

I don't know some of you people. At all.

How can anyone on a TOY BOARD not get "A Christmas Story"? The whole movie is about a kid obsessing over his favorite toy! Yes, it's a BB gun, but it's a toy.

Jingle All the Way is mindless fun, but the climax is shark-jumping worthy. It goes into another realm in the last 15 minutes.

I finally watched "It's A Wonderful Life" all the way through in one sitting just last year. To me, it lived up to all the hype!

Oh geez Brian, I am sorry to say that I love Jingle All the Way. Yes, Phil Hartman is wasted but I can't help myself. I also love Trapped in Paradise if that's any barometer.

Oh man - I think the last two holidays I meant to put on Trapped in Paradise. I don't remember liking it, but I can't remember much about it either.

Huh. Never in all my life have I considered Trading Places a Christmas movie. It's just a great comedy that has one or two scenes about xmas.

You're right, it's really not, but here's the thing - every year my wife sets up this list of about 20 Christmas movies we HAVE to watch, and most of them are ones I never wanted to see in the first place. If I can squeeze a few on that list that I love to watch due to a technicality it makes things a whole lot more entertaining.

[Brazoo]

There are a lot of terrible Christmas movies, but I think Surviving Christmas might be the one I think of as the absolute worst. Watching it is a completely demeaning experience.

This is a surprisingly polarizing thread!

I guess like just about anything else, it's all what you grew up with.
