Also my favorite version, closely followed by the Patrick Stewart version.

While I haven't seen Elf I've got to imagine it's as big a piece of crap as all the other movies Will Ferrell has made.

A Christmas Story is a favorite of mine.

It's a Wonderful Life is also a classic.

A Christmas Carol has been done over and over...not sure which one is best as I haven't really reviewed them back to back.

 

[Skunkwourk]

you'll shoot your eye out!!!

EDIT: I thought elf was pretty bad initially but I found myself enjoying it last christmas.

Well if you're really set on being anti-Will Ferrell then you might not like it. He certainly plays the same general character - a loud mouthed idiot. However one thing that separates this movie from some of the others is that it actually has a decent plot/script and there are jokes that are funny whether or not Will Ferrell is in the scene.

Elf is great.

I also liked the one with Ben Afflek and Chrstina Applegate. Can't think of the name offhand though.

 

[GTaudiophile]

How about "The Nativity Story"?

<-- Runs out of thread!

I'm always a fan of Home Alone 1 & 2 this time of year.
