WORST Christmas movie ever?

[underpants]

I would have to say "White Christmas"-they put on a "show" to save their former Colonel's inn in Vermont

90 minutes to set up one song and obviously shot on a sound stage (so Bing could still play golf I am sure)

[DS1]

1. Scrooged

[skygazer]

3. Seconded

Very bad.

[underpants]

14. I never understood all the accolades about that one

I'm a big Bill Murray fan too

Not a good movie

[MrCoffee]

24. Wrong

Scrooged is funny.

[DarkTirade]

57. ... were y'all watching the same movie I was?

[begin_within]

2. Wasn't that "Holiday Inn?"

[underpants]

13. You are right

it was Holiday Inn

my bad :spank:

[begin_within]

19. For your punishment you have to watch it and sing along

[Deep13]

29. Was it?

I know there were two with that song, Holiday Inn and White Christmas. Holiday Inn was the first and when the song proved a hit they made White Christmas to cash in on it. I seem to remember that the Colonel's inn story was the Holiday Inn.

[begin_within]

39. ok, thanks

[GoddessOfGuinness]

55. Holiday Inn was with Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby...

Kind of similar, but without the war story.

Both movie plots were basically designed to show off the singing and dancing talents of the cast. A little on the fluffy side to be sure; but still entertaining.

[jmowreader]

66. Any Christmas movie with a blackface scene in it shoots to the top in abhorrency

There's one in Holiday Inn.

[MrScorpio]

4. Santa Claus Conquers The Martians

With extra Pia Zadora

[kentauros]

16. Definitely!

:D

[LadyoftheRabbits]

22. Best viewed through the lense of MST3K

If that's the "Santa Clause Conquers the Martians" I'm thinking of. :P

[Deep13]

28. You mean it wasn't filmed just for that purpose?

I have the MST3K "essentials" with have ...Martians and Manos. I haven't seen it in a while.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

32. It is indeed painful to think of watching it without some kind of rifftrack

That movie was an abomination. And I'm tolerant of most mediocre Christmas films. :P

[surrealAmerican]

34. How many could there be?

The MST3K version is worth seeing, though.

[LostinVA]

5. Jack Frost

[Midlodemocrat]

6. My pick, too. GAH. That was a horrible, horrible movie.

What a premise? :crazy:

[Parche]

10. why? did it scare BM?

:woohoo: :hi::hug:

[LostinVA]

47. And badly acted and written

Not the least bet affecting.

[jobycom]

7. A Christmas Story....

The Sequel.

Well, it will be the worst if they ever do it!!

[meegbear]

17. The original for me ...

never got into it, no matter how many times I watch it.

[jobycom]

18. While I can't agree with you, I can stand in awe of your courage and independence.

Not a popular opinion to maintain or announce. :patriot:

[Pale Blue Dot]

50. I agree. It's an overrated piece of garbage. nt

[Amerigo Vespucci]

38. They "sort of" did...it was called "It Runs In The Family"

...also "My Summer Story"...it was based, once again, on Jean Shepherd's characters and stories, and was directed by Bob Clark, director of the original "Christmas Story." It was absolutely unwatchable, one of the worst pieces of tripe I've seen in many a moon.

Very limited release in theaters, almost straight to cable (I believe I saw it on Showtime).

:toast:

8. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

That was the moment that said "Enough about the Griswold family"

[azmouse]

15. I was beginning to think I was the only one who didn't like that movie.

Thank you.

[WolverineDG]

23. OMG, I have to watch that every year

why we can't watch "It's a Wonderful Life" instead I'll never know.....the only break I got was the one year when someone (cough) "lost" the tape.

dg

[Symarip]

9. All of them

Minus Bad Santa.

[Joe Fields]

11. There was one with Dudley Moore playing an elf. It was godawful.

By the way, White Christmas is one of my favorites.

[elshiva]

49. That Dudley Moore movie is called "Santa Claus: The Movie"

and it's awful. :(

[Orsino]

12. You might have to count the Star Wars Christmas special.

It might not really count as a movie, but having seen pieces of it, I can say that it is more awful than anything else likely to surface in this thread.

[KittyWampus]

20. Polar Express and then the remake of Miracle on 34th St. What were they thinking?

[Lavender Brown]

21. Deck the Halls

[sakabatou]

25. Jack Frost

[MrCoffee]

26. Home Alone

To think that the once-glorious John Hughes is forever attached to that shitfest...

[BlueIris]

33. And/or it's evil sequel, "Home Alone: 2."

Insultingly bad, even for holiday fair.

[racaulk]

27. A Muppet Christmas Carol

Normally I am a HUGE muppets fan, but this movie just really sucked eggs. :(

[Deep13]

30. Most of them are pretty bad. nt

[mitchum]

31. "All Christmas movies suck because they are all rewrites of A Christmas Carol"...

said by a very wise friend of mine

[WCIL]

35. Jingle All the Way

[Santa Claus]

36. Die Hard

I mean, really--the sad lack of hot chocolate and good cheer was just depressing.

Two mittened-thumbs DOWN.

[XemaSab]

40. But... it has Alan Rickman in it!

:bounce:

[LeftyMom]

48. Fuck you Santa. Any other family traditions of mine you want to poop on?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

64. Oh NO ....Santa Claus has died !! --

will you do the film at 11 and supply the link? :D

DU killed the Santa Claus :rofl:

[tigereye]

37. boooo!

if you love classic movies and musicals- that film is a lot of fun - even better, watch Holiday Inn, which was the original story...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

54. Is it possible to dislike a movie with Danny Kaye?

What's not to like?

[tigereye]

56. people who have only seen Jim Carrey!

:rofl:



I watch White Christmas every year around this time, and sometimes I watch Holiday Inn (it's the real source...)


:hi:

[Lavender Brown]

58. I like Holiday Inn, I just hate that one scene with Bing in blackface...

x( I know it predates political correctness, but still.

[PassingFair]

41. "The Christmas That Almost Wasn't"

Any of you old enough to remember THIS one?

Nasty guy hates Christmas because he didn't
get what he wanted as a child.

I won't spoil the ending for those of you
not old enough to have seen this Italian-made BEAUTY at
the theater at Christmas time!

[grannylib]

61. YES, I am, and I HATED that. HATED it. What a waste of film.

[geomon666]

42. Santa With Muscles

[Critters2]

43. Not exactly Christmas, but "Eight Crazy Nights" with Adam Sandler,

is perhaps the worst film--animated or otherwise--ever made. I made the mistake of watching it last year, thinking it would be an interesting cultural experience. Yeah, right. I doubt there's anything particular Hebrew about flatulence jokes and other bathroom humor. :puke:

[Gidney N Cloyd]

65. That was so awful on so many levels.

[arcadian]

44. 'DU tombstoned Santa Claus'

Starring: Stocking Marionette

Promises to be a joyous yuletide favorite.

[underpants]

45. LOL

classic

[pokerfan]

46. Miracle on 34th Street

(1994)

A remake that didn't need to be made.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

62. Ick! That was terrible

[Zomby Woof]

51. Deck The Halls

Santa left a lump of poop in our stockings with that one. :thumbsdown:

[rurallib]

52. couple newer entries - 'Christmas with the Kranks' and

"Four Christmases' - both really horrible.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

53. I always liked White Christmas...

Vera Ellen and Danny Kaye were wonderful to watch; and though they could have found better material for Rosie Clooney to sing, it was still a pleasure to hear her rich voice.

Bing? meh... I was never wild about him.

[crim son]

59. Probably the last hundred filmed.

I never watch modern Christmas movies.

[Lucian]

60. "It's a Wonderful Life"

No, it's not a wonderful life.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

63. I'd say -with a very few notable exceptions -almost every Christmas movie over the past decade

Every year, I find that the Christmas movies seem to get sillier and sillier
