I know the movie is set around thanksgiving holiday, but have to add planes, trains, and automobiles. I'd quote the exchange between Steve Martin's character and car rental lady, but it would be all ****'s but here is the youtube clip

Clearly Bad Santa is the correct answer.

The best Christmas Carol is still the original 1951 British version with Alastair Sim. He is SCROOGE!

I also like Joyeux Noel which is about the WWI Christmas truce called by the troops in WWI. Not really a Christmas story, more of a soldier’s story that involves Christmas. Great movie.

I'll excuse all those that mentioned A Christmas Story. The correct answer is actually Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas.

Bad Santa does crack the hell out of me. When Billy Bob rips up the advent calendar andthen replaces the chocalate with just random crap. That chubby kid also makes me smile.

I want to see this one.

Rare Exports. This Christmas everyone will believe in Santa Claus.


"he film focuses on a group of local reindeer herders whose Christmas is disturbed by excavations on the mountain. A scientist has ordered a team of workers to dig open what he calls "the largest burial mound in the world". An explosive used by the team uncovers what is referred to as a 'sacred grave'. However, the occupant of the grave is still alive. Soon, the reindeer important to the local people are mysteriously killed, and children and supplies begin to disappear from the town. It emerges that the occupant is the source of the original Santa Claus myth; a supernatural being who, rather than rewarding good children, punishes the naughty. One family, however, manages to catch the culprit in a trap, and plans to sell it to the scientist to cover the losses caused by his excavation."

I just can't help but laugh at all the classic one liners in Christmas Vacation. Randy Quaid (Cousin Eddie) is hilarious!
