Best Christmas Movie - Boardsies Decide

Also Starring LeVar Burton

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, because it's a classic comedy and I've never seen the Grinch

Oh national lampoons Xmas vacation.
It's funny funny funny

Deja Boo

Has to be Grinch, classic so ......plus, Chevy Chase can't act.

National Lampoon's. Such nostalgia!!

Necro

National Lampoon over new grinch any day of the week.

Different story if it was the Carrey version imo.

ArnoldJRimmer

Christmas Vacation as its a classic 80's comedy, cousin Eddie being the highlight

Pretzill

National Lampoons for the nostalgia - I haven't watched it in years though so Chevy Chase would probably annoy me now. I have never seen the Grinch so it's relegated on that alone.

Ficheall

The grinch.
Never understood the national lampoon fetish.

angel eyes 2012

National Lampoons, brings back great memories. European Vacation is even better than the Christmas film.

Thread is moving quick alright

White Christmas due to the classic song. and also, I've voted for 2 different versions of a Christmas Carol now

National Lampoon for the lunacy that is the Griswalds

White Christmas

Necro

See, fooking multiple Christmas Carol movies. Le sigh.

White Christmas as there's already two gone through and I don't want fooking Dickens in every bloody match.

White Christmas for Bing Crosby. How many rounds is there? I've forgotten sorry.

tonytiger81

Scrooge cos that was the best version - Sims accent makes it

Scrooge
A Christmas classic where we learn the true meaning of Christmas

Did you say at some stage that you're Scottish? Because for some reason I find myself reading these caplock messages in a shouty Scottish accent and it's very amusing to me!

Pretzill

Scrooge it's the best version too. The best part about the other one is the song.

quickbeam

Scooge not being miserly with the votes and going in to the next round.

Also - White Christmas, the song, originated in Holiday Inn, not in White Christmas.

Grinch - I didn't bother watching Cumberbatch's version so can't compare but this is an excellent, albeit schmaltzy, film and it gets my vote

I knew that.

This time... It's a Christmas Carol again

Loughc

How the grinch stole Christmas. Jim Carey wackiness. And I can’t vote for yet another Christmas Carol.

ArnoldJRimmer

The Grinch for the same reason as last time, too many versions of A Christmas Carol on the thread (when everyone knows that the Muppets version is by far the best)

pc7

Grinch cause Carey is really batsh1t

banie01

Grinch!
Lunatic performance by Carrey

Mam of 4

Die Hard 2 cos the other thing is utter tosh.

Die Hard 2 because it’s the superior Die Hard.
