YES!!!! My favorite Christmas movie, by far.

negative.

good movie, yes, but Christmas Vacation is my personal Christmas favorite. 🙂

Oh man, they are BOTH classics -- I love 'em both, but I can only take but so much of Christmas Vacation every year. I watch it once, then I'm done.
 
ugh, it will be difficult to get more than 4 hours of non christmas story on the tv at that time.
 
I can't stand this movie.

Now give me 24 hours of 'Christmas Vacation' and it would be playing the entire time -- even WITH commercials.

WITCH!! BURN HIM!

agreed. it should be required viewing for entry into this country.

Tape his eyes open- Clockwork Orange style!

My dad is a SPITTING IMAGE of the dad in that show---talks the same, looked the same when I was a kid, same mannerisms...that's why I identify with it so much.

To this day, he curses by saying "CONSNARNFRIGINFRAGINSNAGLEBLASTINBITCHES!!!"

I honestly just do not like this film.. I've tried and tried to watch it. I've probably seen it 20+ times and I just don't enjoy it. People tell me something is wrong with me 🙁

lack of soul?

Unhappy Childhood?

General contempt for humankind?

stop me when I'm getting warm...

The best Christmas movie is still Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer.

I always liked Red Skelton's Christmas special, and does anyone remember Emmit Otter's Jugband special?

We tortured our parents with that one year after year 🙂

Has become my new favorite sequence over the previous years. Those curses are bloody brilliant 😀

I like when he's so engulfed with rage over the broken lamp, that all he can muster is "Not a Fingah!"

One of the best shows of emotion in any movie 🙂

Zinfamous's Gorilla Glue!

 
A Christmas Story- the director's cut. Scutt Farkas is shot in the head with the RR. Of course, Scutt's head flies backwards, and to the left. Someone is seen fleeing the stockade fence to his rear.
