Theater Thursday

And in a suprise turn of events, I'm actually posting it on Thursday...Theater Thursday.

Week 29 - Merry Christmas.
It's the most wonderful time of the year. Christmas.

1) Which holiday movie/special do you have to watch every single year?
I have the Holy Trinity of Christmas movies that must be viewed each year: White Christmas, A Christmas Story, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It simply isn't Christmas until I've seen each and every one of these nuggets of Yuletide gold.

2) Which holiday movie/special could you live without every year?
Man, I am not a fan of It's a Wonderful Life. Heartwarming, my ass. It makes ME want to jump off a bridge...

3) Do you have any special traditions that you do while watching the holiday films? (i.e - decorating the tree, drinking eggnog, opening gifts)
My family likes to decorate the Festivus pole and air our grievances during TNT's twenty-four hour marathon of A Christmas Story; otherwise, you keep your mouth shut and watch the movie, dammit!

BONUS) Is there any holiday classic that you would like to see remade? If so, what is it, and who would you like to see play the parts?
No. See, that's why it's called a "classic". The very name implies perfection. If a movie is perfect, you don't need to remake it. Live-action Grinchs and Whos? Yeesh...
