#1 The Greatest Christmas Movie

Post by Charon »

Alright. I have been brought into a discussion of the greatest holiday movie of all time. The clear winner, A Christmas Story. Or the glorious, but not quite as awesome, Die Hard. Havoc, heathen athiest that he is, has chosen poorly. What do you chose?

Obviously the correct answer is The Nightmare Before Christmas.

In one, Santa gives the protagonist a BB gun.

In the other, Santa gives the protagonist a subMachine Gun (Ho-Ho-Ho)

Since the final match in Rocky IV takes place on Christmas, would that count too?

Also, I've decided to watch one of these movies today.

It's not a Christmas Story.

The obvious answer is of course The Hogfather. Sheesh.

....Die Hard can no longer be the greatest Christmas movie ever.

I was just changing channels and ran into "The Cleveland Show" parodying Die Hard......for Christmas.

This is why I don't watch the Cleveland show. It only encourages them.

Also when my family gathered and decided to watch a Christmas movie yesterday? Diehard. If it's good enough for Deaf Pentacostal Ministers... It's good enough for you.
