Christmas on TV

[ninjamonkeyspy]

These are my favorite Christmas movies and specials, roughly in the order that I want to see them. I rearranged this list in 2011, but I left the numbers in place from 2009. This has nothing to do with their overall quality as films, because otherwise Die Hard would be #1. Also, there are countless others that I don't know well enough to include. You can hate me. Feel free to disagree:

3. How the Grinch Stole Christmas
1. Home Alone
2. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
5. Elf
6. Scrooged
4. The Santa Clause
7. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
8. A Christmas Story
9. A Charlie Brown Christmas
13. Fred Claus
14. The Santa Claus 2
15. Gremlins
16. The Nightmare Before Christmas
12. The Holiday
17. Die Hard
18. The Grinch
19. Love, Actually
20. Prancer
10. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
11. Frosty the Snowman

DigitalDreamDoor's top 100 list includes dozens of movies that I haven't seen, and the Wikipedia list separates them into useful categories (and lists a lot more). I still need to see Bad Santa, The Polar Express, and Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause; and I need to re-watch the classics that I don't remember well enough to include here (you know which ones, because they're not on my list).

Also, if anyone tries to tell you that I don't like Christmas Vacation, they just don't know what "it's not my favorite" means. :)
