The Greatest christmas movie of all time?


Honestly there's nothing more to say. How could anyone not think this is the greatest christmas comedy ever made? Followed closely by Jingle all the way. 

There are serious Christmas movies that blow all the comedy ones away.

While NLCV is very good, my favorite comedy Christmas film is Scrooged.

Scrooged, Home Alone, Muppet Christmas Carol.. Love Actually... All awesome

It would be a lot better without the swearing and topless side-boob scene (she didn't even have impressive tits). Christmas movies should be "family-friendly", and I wouldn't want to watch this movie with my mother or sister, for example, both of whom go to church every Sunday.

>The swearing and topless side-boob scenes are what make it relatable. Families are really like this.

Not all of them, and who wants to watch nudity with their family?

>I haven't met a female who doesn't enjoy the Griswolds.

What does that have to do with anything? My mother wouldn't watch a movie like this at all, and my sister is more relaxed about what she'll watch, but nudity and swearing, especially an F-bomb, would be awkward, so I'd just avoid this movie altogether if she and/or my mother were here.

>Nudity is part of life. You should have no shame showing your body. Your Mom and Dad have seen each other naked, and have seen you naked. Nothing special about that.

I see; you're a weirdo. So, with the exception of weirdos, who wants to watch nudity with their family?

>If she saw it, she would probably laugh hysterically.

No, she wouldn't; she would leave in a huff.

>I'm weird because your mom and dad got naked to have sex to create you, who came out of her womb naked? You're weird for thinking that is weird. A stork didn't drop you down the chimney, you're mom and dad rubbed their naked parts together.

Yes, you're a weirdo, and now you've established yourself as an idiot for typing out that non sequitur.

>I think she would get a kick out of the movie. Give her a copy of it for Christmas and try it out. You're just projecting your beliefs and concerns on her. She's probably seen it already, and it's on her list of favorite holiday movies.

And this is Idiot Alert: Part II, you know, for your laughable attempt at a crystal ball reading.

>Wow, talk about non sequiturs, you're the queen of them.

Your entire post is another non sequitur; consider it dismissed out of hand. Also, given that you have no arguments, your tacit concession on the matter is noted.

It's a Christmas staple indeed. Watching it for the second time this month.

Gremlins
It's a Wonderful Life
