I finally watched It's a Wonderful Life this year.

I can see why it's a classic. It holds up extremely well and the last half hour or so is especially good. It would have been bored watching as a kid but I definitely enjoyed it

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Christmas Vacation

[bune]

We’re saving Home Alone and Elf until we’re closer to the big day. Tonight my wife put on Home Alone 2 and it’s fuckin trash.

What are you favorite holiday movies?

HA2 is verboten because of the cameo halfway through.

Planes Trains & Automobiles is a new favorite of ours. We also watch A Christmas Story because of course we do.

The staples that we watch at least two from each year are....
Love Actually
Die Hard
The Nativity Story
Bad Santa

Now that my girls are getting a little older - there will no doubt be more added to that list

Such a trag thread.

Didn’t even have to look to confirm.

I love Planes Trains, but don’t associate it with Xmas for some reason... I’ll add it to this season’s list.

Never seen Bad Santa so I’ll try that one too

Regardless of how you feel about Bad Santa (If you watch it) - Don't bother with the sequel, it's absolute shit!

It's possible we've had this thread before, because I am sure I've posted my hot take about thinking Christmas Vacation isn't good on the board before.

It was in the "Unpopular Movie Opinions" thread (twice, actually--in 2014 and again last year). So carry on with this one.

It center on Thanksgiving, but the holiday feel can stretch the rest of the year, too.
