    Nightmare.
    I just love the 'culture' clash idea between the Holloween and Xmas.

    Nightmare for "what's this" song


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,965 ✭✭✭Clarabel


    Nightmare because it was so different, hasn't aged and is still amazing. Every Christmas

    Muppets Christmas Carol because its amazing and the songs are class, and Michael Caine!

    Assault on Precinct 13. A new year's eve version of Die Hard.

    Death to the Muppets!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    The Muppet Christmas Carol is such a feel-good classic. It's my favourite of all the Christmas Carol adaptions so it gets my vote.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,089 ✭✭✭Krombopulos Michael


    Assault on Precinct 13 - Can't stand Miss Piggy.

    Assault on Precinct 13 wasnt a bad remake either, so good action

    I believe I saw most or all of The Muppet Christmas Carol. I will give it my vote because it is funny and entertaining and Michael Caine manages to keep a straight face! Also, I did not see that version of Assault on Precinct 13!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭ArnoldJRimmer


    Muppet Christmas Carol as its the best version of a Christmas Carol since Scrooged, which you b@st@rds knocked out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,910 ✭✭✭✭whatawaster


    Muppet's Christmas Carol is the best adaptation of the best Christmas story there ever was or will be. The fact that there are puppets involved shouldn't take away from that fact.

    Gonzo is wonderful as Charles Dickens, Kermit the Frog puts in a terrific turn as Bob Crachit.

    The music is also superb

    Michael Caine. 'nuff said.


  • Registered Users Posts: 657 ✭✭✭irishejit


    Muppets Christmas Carol.....a nomination of mine, best muppet movie ever, and best xmas movie ever full stop

    Elf, because it's a bit of craic, and the other one looks woeful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    Elf. Obviously. Nothing wrong with The Holiday but Elf is hilarious.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,216 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Elf, cos it's actually pretty funny.

    Also cos the Holiday is - to quote tusk - garbage.


  • Posts: 0 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The Holiday, as what has an elf really got to do with christmas if you really think baout it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,331 ✭✭✭Guill


    Elf - for that belch alone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,910 ✭✭✭✭whatawaster


    I like the Holiday, but Elf is one of the best and deserves to go on to the next round.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭ArnoldJRimmer


    Elf as its Will Ferrell at his best


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,435 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red

    Holiday because it is a feel-good light-hearted comedy....and it has Jack Black! Besides, I have not seen Elf!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,696 ✭✭✭Pretzill

    The Holiday for Jude Law and his gorgeous eyes.

    Jack Black is reason alone NOT to vote for The Holiday :P

    Elf, sweet and funny and still good after multiple viewings.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,216 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Jingle All the Way cos it's a Christmas movie and also ARNIE


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,910 ✭✭✭✭whatawaster


    It's superior level of Christmasness wins the day for Jingle All the Way. It's a perfectly adequate family movie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,424 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    Voting for lethal weapon because I watched it last night and while it's not a Christmas movie it's better than jingle all the way


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,975 ✭✭✭✭Mam of 4


    Jingle All The Way .

    Just for Arnie looking like his head is about to explode :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Lethal Weapon, because it's a better movie and I pretty much can't stand the other one.

    Lethal Weapon. Arnie isn't that believable as a father, but Mel is very believable as a dick.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    Oh a hard hard one, but Jingle All The Way, Arnie rocks as does the mad reindeer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,696 ✭✭✭Pretzill


    Leathal Weapon it isn't a Christmas movie but it's better than Jingle All the Way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭ArnoldJRimmer


    Lethal Weapon, a far superior film

    Jingle all the way, heartwarming story of the commercialism of christmas
