Christmas Movies

[hereintheUK]

<p><br /><br />I was watching this made for TV movie the other day on Hallmark called something like &quot;A Season For Miracles&quot; and that got me thinking. Like Rons theory of no matter how dumb the movie is, if it's about sports he will watch it. I think movies about Christmas and the Holidays in genreal are the same. No matter how bed the premise, no matter how bad the movie I will still be watching at the closing credits without switching the channel.</p><p> </p><p>Just for the record this isn't a &quot;what is your favourite christmas movie&quot; thread. I'm sure thats been done. Having said that, my favourite Holiday movies are: A Christmas Story, Home Alone, Bad Santa and <font color="#000000"><em>National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.</em></font></p><p> </p><p>Now for the movies that are god awfull but will watch from beginning to end just because they are Holiday Movies.</p><p><font color="#000000">Surviving Christmas, Ernest Saves Christmas, Three Wise Guys, Jingle All The Way, The Stupid Tim Allen Movies (all of them). I could go on ferever I'm sure...</font></p><p> </p><p>So do Holiday Movies fall into the same category as sports movies do for you? </p><p><br /></p>

<p>Bad santa, National Lampoons and Scrooged I can watch. Any other movie that involves Christmas seems like its been on too much for me to endure. Oh I also like Gremlins if that counts as a holiday movie. </p>

Saw 3 is quite the holiday heart-warmer!&nbsp; Just ask Bill O'Reilly.
