    #1 for me would be a tie between "Die Hard" and "Christmas Vacation". But some I missed here: "Santa Clause 2"....the scene with the gifts and the teachers was pretty funny. And then "Four Christmases" and "Fred Claus". Both have V. Vaughn in it...but there's some good parts about them anyway. Like P. Giamatti in Fred Claus...awesome! Then there's "Mixed Nuts" and "Deck The Halls". Maybe not the best-loved movies...but there were worse ones on this list. Another guilty pleasure for me, despite the hate, is "Christmas with the Kranks"....can't hate a movie with D. Aykroyd in it and the scene where Allen gives away his cruise to M. Emmet Walsh is pretty nice.

    Love, Actually makes people violently ill or just violent. Hardly keeping in the spirit of Christmas.

    I tried watching 'Love, Actually' once. I got about 30 minutes through it. Raw, seething hatred, Actually. Glad to see Die Hard, Bad Santa, Muppet CC and Scrooged good and high. Disappointed to see Home Alone so close to the top, I've never understood the love for the film.

    The Christmas present that Love Actually provides is that most of the cast of it do bog all now I wonder why, oh I know because it is a cheesy, insulting pile of contrived and mechanistically made piece of sell out bollocks. Knightmare Before Christmas is not a bloody Christmas movie, at least Bad Santa has a message at the end. Topping it off It's A Wonderful F£$%^ING LIFE? When films are so depressing and childish they make you want to wipe out a school with a pitchfork they are not in the Christmas spirit. Why is Jesus of Nazareth not there? Or King of Kings? He is the only reason Christmas exists and here is a beautiful Christmas message, have an Arab play Jesus that is what he was after all dark skin and robes, oh careful James unpopular statement.

    Very surprised to see Elf so near the top, not that it doesn't deserve it.

    As @endofdays mentioned earlier (well, they said Chingle instead of Jingle) - where is the Arnie classic Jingle All The Way?

    I prefer the 90's version of "Miracle On 34th Street". Very good list though.

    The Hogfather should definitely be on this list! Every year I try to do 25 days of Christmas and I’ve always had a tough time filling each night with a Christmas movie. This list paired with the fact that I can do theme searches on my DISH Hopper guarantees me that I’ll easily be able to have my 25 days of Christmas this year. I’ve heard good things about Rare Exports from a few of the people I work with at DISH, so I’m going to make sure that this is one I see. If it’s not already playing on TV, I can just stream it through the Blockbuster @Home app.
