Not a chance.

Mel Gibson pretending to be mad by messing his hair up and jumping off a building does not compete with Bruce W kicking terrorist ass. Not for a second.

From what I've read, it seems A Christmas Story has a big cult following in the US, but it's pretty much unknown here in the UK. I've certainly never seen it.

(As mentioned above, I like Bob Clark's other, very different, Christmas movie, Black Christmas!)

I'll stick in a vote for Die Hard.
But Hard Boiled is good too (even if not a Christmas film)

A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim. Probably should have clarified what constitutes a 'Xmas' movie and those movies that occur at Xmas.

Not only another forum member who has heard of Hard Boiled the greatest action film ever made bar non imho but [ gulps ! ] a woman :o

Will you marry me !!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Crazy Joe you`ve just gone down in my estimation. Will Ferrel has never been funny on film in his entire career only the Blue Oyster Cult parody on US tv was funny.

Watched Black Christmas on Film4 just now. I'm sure the killer was Buckethead :lol: .

Apart from that I wouldn't say it was the best film I've ever seen by a long shot (As far as seasonal horror goes Hallowe'en kicks it shiteless purely on the basis of the soundtrack.). Some of the filming was beautifully done; especially for the first person sections.

Come guys, what about "The Great Escape" or have I totally misunderstood the point of this thread for rather tenuous comedic purposes.
