my new fish hooks?
So, I've decided that the world needs to know what top 5 favorite christmas movies are.
Honorable Mention:
The Nightmare Before Christmas.
BONUS 6TH FAVE!
White Christmas - It's a musical. It's great.
5. Miracle on 34th Street - the original. C'mon, that scene when the postal workers bring the mail in? It's like what every Matlock episode ever was based on. What a great film.
4. Die Hard - For real, one of my favorite action movies, AND one of my favorite Christmas movies.
3. It's a Wonderful Life - I cried once, at the age of 20, while seeing this film. (it was christmas eve, and I had just been awake for two successive all night flights, and it was the first and [thus far, only] Christmas i'd ever spent away from home), but still. This movie is amazing. Frank Capra is a great director.
2. A Christmas Story. Set in Hammond, Indiana, the place of my upbringing, how could I not absolutely love this film. It's such a real story, a kid who wants a present so bad that his parents can't help but get it for him. And the daydream sequences. I mean, where do you think Scrubs got the idea? A CLASSIC.
1. Home Alone. I'm watching this right now. Every element of this film works for me. As soon as I hear the first few notes of the opening credits, I know I'm watching for another hour and a half. I've got practically the entire film memorized, and I still just can't get enough. A phenomenal film.

White Christmas, A Christmas Story (we were just talking about this last night, my parents know someone who dated the guy who wrote it!), and then the other night i just say "The Family Stone" very good!
love actually.
and, if die hard makes the list then i choose hook.
THANK YOU for Die Hard. It's on all my favorite christmas movie lists and people laugh at me. heck yes.
but I'm sorry, I really can't stad Miracle on 34th Street.
I believe Elf is a modern classic. It makes me laugh at least.
