Home Theater for the Holidays
It's the holidays, and 'tis the season to get cozy around the fireplace with the ones we love. Except that fireplaces are hazardous and non-PC these days – this year, we recommend gathering around the TV and checking out three great holiday flicks.

Ah, Die Hard and A Christmas Story. Awesome classics, IMO. I haven't seen The Holiday, but the mere mention of Kate Winslet might make this a Netflix rental.

My wife likes to watch Patrick Stewart's version of "Scrooge" every year.
"Home Alone" is a good compromise for the both of us this time of year.
I don't know if I have a favorite Christmas themed movie, but if I had to name on, I guess it would be the Dr. Seuss version of the "Grinch Stole Christmas".
Happy Holidays to all those in Whoville!

Oh, yeah! Awesome cartoon. I never watched the Jim Carrey version (nor do I expect to), but I love that cartoon.Originally Posted by westcott

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a glaring omission!!!
Clark: Hey, Kids, I heard on the news that an airline pilot spotted Santa's sleigh on it's way in from New York City.

I agree - we watch that classic every year. It has SO many hilarious bits. I've bought three over the years - hope it comes out on Blu-ray eventually.

Home Alone 1 and 2, and Christmas Vacation are in heavy rotation in my house.
The Santa Clause 1 & 2 are as well.
I'll have some science with a side of common sense, please.

A Christmas Story is also a yearly favorite of mine. "You'll shoot your eye out!".

Great suggestions! How could I have forgotten Home Alone when i searched for that movie the whole Christmas season and couldn't find it?!
I'm going to pick it up in July or something, just so I'll be ready for next year.
