Semi-OT: Why does the media team keep creating controversies?


Top 5:
A Christmas Carol w Alastair Sim as Eb Scrooge ( or A Christmas Carol - 1984 with George C Scott)
A Christmas Story (we've all been that kid)
Christmas Vacation (best rant ever, plus Cousin Eddy)
It's a Wonderful Life (just a true classic)
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (who doesn't feel like a little kid when this comes on?)

FIFY

Elf? Really? Will Ferrell is an overrated hack - even with the star power of Asner/Caan/Newhart his level of suck drags the production down.
I like Elf.

Will Ferrell is not a hack. C'mon..

Bill Simmons voted for Ferrell the best SNL performer of all-time, he might make my top 10.


I honestly don't see it. He wasn't funny to me in SNL, and hasn't gotten any better. Harry Shearer, Jane Curtin, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd - and I haven't even touched the 80's. Will Ferrell isn't worthy of carrying their loaded depends.

Lethal Weapon - how did that one get left off the list?
 
Christmas movies are ones which the theme is based around Christmas.

Die Hard is based on a man who kills a bunch of high-end, murderous thieves during an office Christmas party.

How could you leave out A Christmas Story? :)

His type of slapstick humor (which my wife loves) mostly bores me, but I loved him in “Elf”. Regarding his SNL tenure, again, lots of strikeouts, but I have to admit that his “more cowbell” (how did Christopher Walken keep that deadpan expression?) and “cheerleader” bits were among my favorite SNL skits :)

It’s a Wonderful Life is a stone-cold classic. Every year my wife and I watch it either in black and white or color and both of us cry when Harry says George is the richest man in town.
 
Christmas Story.. my all time fave.
Christmas Vacation.. Chevy Chase at his best
Home Alone.. distant 3rd

Yea that's a tough one.

I rank movies based on if they all on tv simultaneously, which one would I watch.

Depending on my mood i'd prob watch ACS over Rudolph.

Yea I wouldn't put Will Ferrell in the top 10 of SNL cast members either. The list is made up of legends. I just like Elf.

I feel the same way about Adam Sandler. Not funny.

Yea Home Alone. I've only seen that 657 times...

I like different types of comedy. I def have a slapstick side. Chris Farley, Three Stooges, Will Ferrell, etc
 
Polar Express. My youngest daughter and I can watch it without volume and recite every line.

No Frosty the Snowman? Happy birthday!

Bless you for speaking the truth...
 
Christmas movie? Lol

Fun fact: the actress who played Amanda Hunsacker also played Kelly in Cheers.

Admittedly, I was mayyyyybe trolling just a bit, but it does take place during Christmas, so it kinda counts. An inferior movie to Die Hard, no doubt, but not bad.
