General Movie Thread

Thank you for including Emmet Otter. A cherished memory for sure.

A lot of these are TV, not movie. Charlie Brown is an easy number 1 in the TV category: Christmas Vacation is number 1 in movies.

No love for, Ernest Saves Christmas?

Okay that makes sense because when I saw the trailer I thought “This is similar to Save the Green Planet”. Which is a batshit weird movie.

Of the ones mentioned so far, Trading Places is the most essential in my household.

Of the ones not mentioned, Bad Santa is the favorite.

I feel like this may change now with a kiddo around.

You don’t want the kiddo saying “you ain’t gonna shit right for a week”?

My favorite Christmas movie is White Christmas, which I can watch year after year and have. There are two great places created solely in Hollywood that should exist but don’t: one is the house on top of Mt. Rushmore in North by Northwest, and the second is the inn fireplace in White Christmas.

Die Hard, certainly high in my list of favorite Christmas movies, is on at River Oaks on December 6.

Probably not any more than “how’d you like a stump up your ass?”

It’s funny, if she could talk, that’s exactly what she’d have told us when she brought home some awful stomach bug home from day care recently.

Can’t believe i missed this one. Ive seen it several times, but not in a while. Going to show it to my wife’s family down under.

It’s not - this is a Special. (A Christmas Special, to be precise.) Movies and Christmas Specials are all films.

But I suppose the “What is your favorite movie?” is not right - What is your Christmas movie or special?

(I have a didactic memory. Names, dates, times, movies, TV shows, books, short stories, documentaries, podcasts, and more - I watch it all. I was a CTO along time ago.)

Bad Santa is… it’s rated R, and it’s a 3 stars.

White Christmas - 5 stars.

Did you mean eidetic memory? Not trying to be didactic.
I had one a few decades ago…but alcohol, drugs, fist fights, age, and the internet have taken a toll.

Why does the Proposition have 4 and not five? Honest question. By my subjective lights it succeeds in every way.
