I don't usually watch Christmas movies often, but when I do, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is probably my favorite Christmas movie to watch.

So far I've watched That Christmas (Netflix). Of course, you gotta have the classics: Miracle on 34th St. (original) and A Christmas Story ("You'll shoot your eye out, kid!). I'll probably catch The Muppet Christmas Carol and The Santa Clause as well. And while not a movie, I always watch A Charlie Brown Christmas.

I like "Christmas Carol" - preferably the George C Scott version.

That's the one where he slaps Bob Crachet for whining about the cold.

My favorite version is Scrooged with Bill Murry. For the classic version, I like the one starring Patrick Stewart; it would've been neat if they had John De Lancie as the Past ghost and Jonation Frakes as the Present ghost. Morn could be the Future ghost, since he doesn't talk anyway, and Dwight Schultz would be the perfect Bob Cratchit.

well it looks like it has multiple distributers.
just looked it up on wikipedia because i was wondering that and wtf did i just read:

"Dwayne Johnson was paid $50 million for his involvement.[19]

Filming began in October 2022 in Atlanta and wrapped in February 2023.[16][20] Filming ran into issues with Johnson, who was an average of seven to eight hours late to film his scenes and missed several days of shooting. These delays reportedly increased the budget by $50 million to a total of $250 million, which Garcia disputed.[4] Johnson later admitted to frequent tardiness as well as urinating in bottles on set, but Evans and Kasdan defended him.[21][22]"

No, its RED ONE, Has Dewayne Johnson and JK Simmons Who plays "Red One" "Nick" "Santa". I'ts actually a fairly decent movie for a Christmas movie.. definatly not a Christmas Vacation, etc..

BTW I love RED and RED 2 with Bruce, Morgan, and John. Very good movies. Would'nt call them Christmas movies. I only call Die Hard a Christmas movie to be a smart ass :-)

Instead of talking about movies I have in my typical playlist, I am gonna suggest one nobody knows about so maybe somebody gets to watch something new.

Imagine Santa faced bankrupcy and was about to close his toy factory because he could not pay the elves. Imagine he was forced into becoming a US government contractor for manufacturing weapons in order to pay his bills. Imagine somebody sent a mercenary to kill him, and he had to sneak into a modern weapon factory fortified with heavy military defenses, in order to face a bitter, bourbon soaked, Colt toting Santa.

That is Fatman (2020), with Mel Gibson.

Takes place during the holiday season, with Christmas decorations and Santa imagery in the background.

Set during the Christmas season, with festive decorations and a Santa reference.

Occurs around Christmas, with Santa suits and decorations visible.

I don't recall anyone positing a "definition" of a xmas movie

example.
