Really. It's just not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from the Nakatomi Plaza. ;-)
I hate Elf because I can't stand that gas-bag Asner.
What did you think of it then?
Not a theatrical release, but definitely the worst Christmas movie ever made. If you saw it, you know I speak the truth.
Hallmark’s 2014 offering, ‘Mr Miracle’, starring Dr Joel Fleischman as a retarded, creepy angel who would be arrested for stalking.

When I was young, combat vets would go out into the woods or fields to get away from the constant sound of fireworks going off.
I often wish I could do the same from Thanksgiving to Jan 2.
I love It’s A Wonderful Life but I loved “Art Spooner’s” review. “Without George Bailey the town was jumping. I wish he’d never been born!”
Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny (1972)
Movie starts at 1:45 mark, This is just the first 10 minutes, you may not need to see more. There is also a Rifftrax version

aw c’mon, it was a hoot.
add me to that list. It wasn’t amusing, or funny, it was disgusting.

The Life And Adventures of Santa Claus
It’s not a “movie”.
It’s a show on TV.
Yep. It has a few amusing lines (and I dearly love Bob Newhart), but the bright spots are mired in too much dreck.
I never saw it as a “Christmas movie”, either. Just because it’s AT Christmas doesn’t really make it that.
The best most Xmas-y part of it is the heart-strings bit about the grandpa.
And otherwise, a movie I never need to see again.
I’ve seen cynical reviews like that.
Yeah, it’s great having “girls!” (always spoken by males), pawn shops and drunken assholes in bars.
But I am a bit cynical in that I don’t believe George made 100% difference - geesh, all because of him everything’s good? And bad if he’s not there? Not quite.
Never mind it’s really a BIOGRAPHY, not so much a Christmas movie! It’s a very good movie, but not 100% Christmas.
I liked it. :)
Thanks for enduring the click-bait hell to deliver the names of their list.
The creepy neighbor in Home Alone played ghoul Ed Gein (the basis for Psycho) in the 1970s.

Here’s a shot of the same actor in Home Alone decades later.
