Tonight we did Emmet Otter followed by 1941.

Haven't seen White Christmas or A Christmas Story, but we've hit all the other classics so far.
Scrooged is my favorite, followed closely by A Muppet Christmas Carol
No Christmas movies today but watched Wonder Woman 1984.
Hogfather is my favorite Christmas movie, but I'm very interested in the power of myth, narrative and perception.
It's on Amazon Prime as a three part series. I read the books and watched it a few times, and I bet if I were to watch it or read the book again I'd pick on something else I missed.
In reply to Brett_Murphy (Ex-Patrón) :
Hogfather is a fun one
I watched Die Hard with the Hellspawn the other day. Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas was another.
The Man Who Invented Christmas, about Charles Dickens and the writing of A Christmas Carol. Wonderful movie.
We haven't watched it this year, but I watched it twice in a week last year. It's that good.
When the kids were younger, we would watch polar express every year.
Gremlins
Did you know the Narrator of the iconic "A Christmas Story" was a woman named Jean Shepard?
Every year I watch the Rankin Bass Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer with mom. I sometimes watch Love Actually. I can usually find some of the old Dr Who Christmas specials.
This year I watched the Mandarin version of Dangerous Liaisons again. It's not a Christmas movie, but it is set in winter. If you haven't watched it, I think it is the finest piece of cinema I've ever seen. It's set in 1930s Shanghai. Opulent, gorgeous, and the script and cinematography is friggin genius.

Just Home Alone this year with the demon. She's been watching the frozen movies pretty much constantly on her tablet though.
I was hoping to introduce the 12 year old to Jack Frost, Black Christmas, or Silent Night, Deadly Night this season but she's going to be spending Xmas break with relatives.
I tried to start the Diehard tradition last year, but after making everyone listen to Alice's Restaurant on Thanksgiving, nobody wants to do my traditions anymore.
We watched "the Ref" as a throwback Christmas movie.
Die Hard
Arthur Christmas
Just Friends
Elf
Badder Santa. Scrooged. All the Die Hards.
Where did you see 1941? That movie is NEVER on. On DVD?
We watched Wonder Woman. Nice movie, with a good amount of marginal CGI...
Yes & no. Worked my way through the Diehard series leading up to Christmas. Saved the last one for Christmas Eve and it wasn't a Christmas movie...Very disappointing.
I caught most of FX's Christmas Carol by Dickens last night. Well acted, especially Guy Pearce, and pretty powerful while being very dark. I enjoyed it.
Donovan's Reef
Pluto's Christmas Tree
Watched soul on d+ and the Xmas episodes of Futurama.
Double feature yesterday:
Tarantula! (1950s horror flick so bad it's almost good) followed by Wonder Woman 1984.
Margie
Die Hard
Rare Exports
Once Upon a Christmas Time (bad slasher flick)
Not a movie but South Park's Woodland Christmas Critters

A couple of years ago, we saw it in the theater!! It was like being 8 again.
Last year according to my Facebook memories we watched Prometheus.
There was a Xmas tree in it so it's a Christmas movie

Pro tip-watch them in reverse order, that way the level of SUCK goes down, not up.
