Click Here to Go Back to the Holiday Movie Guide
Every year, cable networks and superstations force-feed us their holiday programming, playing the same old movies season after season. Where’s the fun in that? What do business execs know about what’s good and what’s crap? Wouldn’t you rather have a bunch of film junkies, who know a thing or two about entertainment, recommending movies for you?
Our editorial team has been from one end of the North Pole to the other, compiling a list of the best and worst holiday flicks for you to pick at and we’ll just tell it like it is. So each day we’ll give you a Christmas movie to examine -- for better or worse.
Tell us where you agree, where you disagree and what we’ve missed! 'Tis the season to be picky, and coming up with this list has been a bit tricky, so without further ado ...

Christmas Vacation
The Griswold’s string of bad luck traveled with them all over the world, but was perhaps funniest at home: the one place you’d think they would be safe. It’s a holiday gift that keeps giving.

Will Ferrell needed to play an elf to prove he could be a leading man. Thank god he did, because his childlike rants and innocence replaced his normal insane comic routine in this fish-out-of-water tale, where a 6’3” man raised as an elf must travel from the North Pole to America to discover his true identity. A hilarious romp that has become a holiday favorite.
