More Holiday Fun - Greatest Holiday MOVIES!

OK, in an increased fit of holiday spirit (to be combined with Christmas break boredom), Smurftastic proudly presents her favorite Holiday movies of all time.

1. A Christmas Story - Yes, I do usually watch at least 6 hours of TBS's 24hrs of a Christmas Story. The humor in this is amazing... best line = "I can't put my arms down!... You can put your arms down when you get to school." The little brother (who I think might do porn now), is the best character... by far.
2. It's a Wonderful Life - I know it's cheesy, I know it's a cliche for a best Christmas movie. But man... the Capra-Stewart combo is CLUTCH. Every movie they do is pretty much amazing. Also, is it wrong that I kind of have a crush on Jimmy Stewart in this movie? Whatever. Adorable.
3. Elf - if you haven't seen this movie (DJVic, I'm talking to you...), you NEED to. Even if you don't like Ferrell, this movie is amazing. I may like it so much because I see a lot of myself in Buddy the Elf (what's your favorite color?). The quotable lines in this flick are pretty numerous, and there is great music and arctic puffins!
4. White Christmas - Bing Crosby and the other dude, George Clooney's aunt and the other chick, singing great songs, loving the veterans, and falling in love at a ski resort. Bring it on.
5. All I Want for Christmas - Early nineties... heartwarming, precocious kids (Thora Birch!) trying to get their family back together. Plus Christmas movies in NYC are amazing. I just remember LOVING this movie when I was younger, then saw it on ABC Family a couple of years ago and still thinking it was awesome.
6. Miracle on 34th Street - original black and white version; features Maureen O'Hara, one of my favorite actresses of all time, plus it proves that Santa (and NYC Macy's commercialism) is real. Capitalism and the law is really what the holidays are all about.
7. Home Alone - best line that I recite WAY too much = "Buzz, your girlfriend... WOOF." Good memories with this one and watching it on TV every Thanksgiving for about 10 years.
8. How the Grinch Stole Christmas - animated version (F U Jim Carrey... though I never saw that one, I refuse on principle)
9. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - I may be stoned by some people for putting it so late on the list. I love Christmas Vacation, but I didn't actually see it fully (without TV editing) till a couple of years ago. Best scene = squirrel, hands down.
10. TIE! - The Santa Clause and Love Actually - The Santa Clause gets relegated to a tie because of the incessant number of sequels, but the original is actually pretty funny, and reminds us of the hey-day of Tim Allen. Love Actually is really one of the greatest movies I've seen ever, but it is relegated to a tie because though it has a Christmas slant, is totally watchable year around.
