Hey guys, hold onto your butts, its Christmas movie time! I'm sorry this is a bit late, it was A WEEK! I know I say that a lot of weeks, but my youngest had croup and RSV and I was hosting my book club and running around flocking trees and such, you know important things ;)

OMG I AM IN FULL CHRISTMAS SPIRIT though! I watched some v. bad Hallmark movies and loved every second, I have been baking gingersnaps and I am SO so excited to get into these movies on the poll. I want to watch them all, I just might.

Remember last year's Christmas poll? I watched The Muppets (loved it, watching with the kiddos this week), and Scrooged which was fun, and then of course It's a Wonderful Life, which changed my life!

Remember these are some big ones I have seen already: A Christmas Story, Elf, Love Actually, The Family Stone, About a Boy, Home Alone.

I am already planning on watching the OG Miracle on 34th Street and Die Hard 2 as well :)

Ok go Vote and Be Merry!

**The poll will end Sunday at midnight and you can pick more than one on this one!

Hope u and your family are well Cassie ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøšŸ¤žšŸ™. You truly are a gem of a human

PapaXan

Trading Places is such a great movie.

Eric Wallace

I voted for jingle all the way assuming its the 1996 Arnold one

Matthew Dunham

A Christmas Story is a true classic

Amy Silknitter

White Christmas has been my favorite Christmas movie since I was like 6. I love it with my whole heart.

Bryan Fritchie

I don't think it will win the poll, but I think The Family Man is the one you'd like the most out of this list.

Eric

Trading places! The prequel to Coming to America!

Brian McGovern

Soon as I saw it, I was pretty sure which one would win.

Adam Doyle

Trading Places for adult comedy. White Christmas for a sweet classic.

Patrick Egan

Iā€™m so glad The Ref made the poll!

Zane From Canada

Get the pork bellies and frozen concentrated orange juice ready! šŸ˜„šŸ˜„šŸ˜„

Bill W

I wonder if people are voting for "Jingle All The Way" not noticing the date.

Michael Rios

The Ref is criminally underrated

William Bryan

Come on Cassie. Bad Santa? Vulgar yeah, but Flippin hilarious

William Charles

Sad to see Christmas In Connecticut getting no support. An absolute black & white classic from back in the day.

James Young

What, no Die Hard? hahaha but I vote Jingle all the way even though it was 96 not 66

SeanATX

White Christmas is my family's traditional favorite. The feels!!

Sam Hui

heart warming!

Chris Davis

What? No Die Hard?!? LOL! Just Kidding! I think she's seen it already anyway. I know it's been on the Classics Poll and while it's during Christmas, it's not really a "Christmas" Movie, but I love to watch "A Lion In Winter" during the holidays

mikethemotormouth

OK you've seen Home Alone. But what about Home Alone 2: Lost in New York(1992)? Featuring our former carrot-er Commander in Chief Donald Trump

David Freese

Get your young ones into good health. That's the most important thing. I used to go Ba Humbug ever year but I think you positive outlook has changed my outlook bout Christmas.

Thomas Boyette

I like 'Trading Places'. It's funny. It is not a Christmas movie.

Joseph Rardin

Holiday Inn > White Christmas smh

James Young

Oh, I know. I just mentioned it because of how much that movie is debated to be a Christmas movie.

Jaccob Cortes

I want my Turboman Action Figure!!!

Henry Graham

The Shop Around the Corner is not only the best Christmas film ever made, it's pretty high in the running for the greatest romantic comedy ever made.

John L Woolfolk

The Bishops Wife is my Family Christmas favorite.

Joseph Rardin

Another favorite of mine not on here is Scrooge 1951. The best Christmas Carol imo starring Alister Sim. I still can't believe most people have never seen it.

David Crabtree

White Christmas without a doubt!

John L Woolfolk

You Got Mail, is a remake of Shop Around the Corner. Very good.

GƔbor Ɓrki

For full transparency, as much as I would like Trading Places to happen, and even suggested it myself for an unconventional/alternative Christmas movie poll, it is not a traditional Christmas movie. Just takes place during the holidays.

Terri Wyatt

White Christmas. It's GOTTA be White Christmas! (I love Trading places too, but... you really, really need to see White Christmas.)

Jason Fulbright

Too funny David. Considering the current environmental concerns about coal I'm not sure what to expect in my stocking this year!

William Bryan

She won't watch Bad Santa for the same reasons she won't go near the American Pie series. Just a hunch lol

TXW

Both Shop around the corner and Christmas in Connecticut are amazing movies that have great stories and acting

JimJames

I assume National Lampoonā€™s Christmas Vacation isnā€™t on here cause we are already gonna watch it? Because that is an absolute must!

Robert Jewell

The Shop Around the Corner is your kind of movie all the way. A young James Stewart has never been better. Trading Places is an odd choice. Funny, but not a Christmas movie.

TXW

A Christmas Story as well

Alex Gorell

No Die Hard 2 ahh man. Shop around the Corner is next best I think.

Henry Graham

The other great Christmas movie that too few people have seen is Remember the Night, starring Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray. Directed by the undervalued Mitchell Leisen and written by the genius Preston Sturges, it's a film of incredible wit and heart and I wish it were more widely watched at this time of year.

Alex Gorell

Idk how I missed that. Thatā€™s a fail on my part. Itā€™s been a long week šŸ¤£.

David Freese

@Jason Fulbright I don't know what I get in my stocking šŸ§¦ every year so I don't know what would be a good replacement for coal. And Cassies bright sunny disposition last year was what made me join Patreon so I just telling the truth. šŸ˜‚šŸ¤ŖšŸ¤Ŗ

Doug Cook

Here's a great Christmas movie that isnt well known. I highly recommend. ..'It Happened on 5th Avenue'. Made in 1947. Check it out. Why is Trading places on here as a Christmas movie? There's just one scene of Dan Akroyd dressed as a drunk Santa Claus...not exactly Christmasy

nick bell

Trading places is an amazing Christmas movie. Ignore what anyone on here says!!

Nathan

Agree on Wonderful Life. Saw it for the first time several years ago when I was sick and couldn't travel with the rest of the family for Christmas. Sad, but made me appreciate fam even more. Now it's a tradition that I watch it every year.

Collar City Guy

Hope your little one is doing much better! :-)

PapaXan

It takes place around Christmas, has Christmas trees and people in Santa suits. Plus it's a classic movie.

Matthew Hines

Plus theyā€™ve made about half a dozen remakes of Shop Around the Corner. The most famous one is Youā€™ve Got Mail.

Rich Campbell

'Shop Around The Corner' for me. I'd also be up for a re-watch of 'It's a Wonderful Life' (perhaps the colourised version? Normally I'm a b&w purest, but 'Wonderful Life' in colour is stunning.) Merry Christmas everyone!

Andrew Ramos

Bad Santa should definitely be on the list...

nick bell

Takes place at Chrismas. There's a Christmas party. There's a Santa Claus and its just a great movie and I want it to win. Lol

Michael T

I want to repeat what H.G. said, because he is so right!! "Another great Christmas movie that too few people have seen is Remember the Night, starring Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray. Directed by the undervalued Mitchell Leisen and written by the genius Preston Sturges, it's a film of incredible wit and heart and I wish it were more widely watched at this time of year." Yes!

Kat Farlowe

I agree. It is a wonderful film, remade many times. I think the latest was "You've Got Mail" with Hanks and Ryan. But the original is just the best! Gotta love Jimmy Stewart.

Mitchell

Not to be a hater but some of those are not very good movies. I would especially stay away from The Ref. A very unpleasant experience. The Family Man is nothing special. As for Trading Places I've never thought of it as a Christmas movie but I suppose a case could be made for that. Regardless, it's a classic in any genre and must see. No surprise it has by far the most votes.

James Moy

It is set over the holiday season. I bet you don't think die hard is a Christmas movie either! ;)

PapaXan

I'd love a Baking with Cassie live episode where she's making ginger snaps.

Kat Farlowe

I voted for Shop Around the Corner and White Christmas. I love Trading Places, but it isn't a Christmas movie. But if it wins, you will love it anyway.

nick bell

No 29th Street. Great Chrismas movie. Sad

Joseph

Please please please! Jingle All The Way as a Duo Reaction. You both liked him as a hero in Terminator 2. I think youā€™ll like him when heā€™s NOT killing people in this one.

James Moy

Got to ask what is RSV? Sounds like some sort of off road vehicle... Possibly with some sort of gun mounted on top.

Mitchell

By the way, Shop Around the Corner is the movie You've Got Mail is based on. YGM is the remake. I'm guessing that would be a good one to add to your list Cassie.šŸ™‚

Kevin M. Pitts

I agree wholeheartedly, and itā€™s for that reason that Iā€™m not surprised at all that itā€™s nowhere close to winning this poll.

Cliff Endicott

Trading Places will win (and that's OK, because I have always liked that movie) but I'd be curious to see a reaction to "The Family Man". No spoilers, but when I first saw it I was terribly unhappy with the ending (I wanted it to end another way) - I wonder if anyone else felt that way about it.

Rich Campbell

Hi, I would normally share that thought. But I make an exception for 'Wonderful Life' colourised . It's jaw dropping. I don't know how they managed it.

N M

I think Home Alone: Lost in New York is such an iconic Christmas movie and on tv so much that most ppl have already seen it

Doug Cook

There's one scene with Dan Akroyd dressed up as a drunk Santa...That hardly makes it a Christmas movie. I'm assuming that Cassie wants to get in the Christmas mood...Trading Places will not do that. Good grief.

Krusty ā€œTopherā€

Right?! That would be great!! But heyā€¦.@Cassie ainā€™t got da GUTS to give us a Cooking Live!!! No GUMPTION that one!! Not even if weā€¦.sayā€¦..DOUBLE DOG DARE HER?!?!?!šŸ˜€šŸ˜‰

N M

The Family Man is one of my favorite Christmas movies.

nick bell

I feel nothing but Chrismas spirit every time I see Trading Places. Don't be a scrooge

Jerrod Acree

Trading Places isnā€™t really a Christmas film. White Christmas is a classic! My son (8) loves it. I watch it every year.

Jerrod Acree

The Ref is one of my familyā€™s favorite. The depiction of the family was mine growing up. Lol

Jerrod Acree

Holiday Inn is less known but so good. Bing (White Christmas) is iconic.

N M

The ending of the Family Man is one of the most memorable aspects of the film.

Mike LL

I believe that is correct. I think the date 1966 on the poll is a typo

Caomhan84

I like Holiday Inn much more than White Christmas, but the blackface in the "Abraham" musical number will doubtlessly put off many viewers coming to it with modern eyes. I honestly feel that if it didn't have that portion, it would be better known than White Christmas by audiences today. On the whole, it is a lovely movie.

Jennifer Medicus

Respiratory syncytial virus I had two co-workers whose kids were in the ER and then hospitalized because of it. It's been going through the pediatric populations like wildfire and a lot of the kids' hospitals are overwhelmed. Glad it sounds like Cassie's children were okay.

Jennifer Medicus

I went with the classics. White Christmas, Shop Around the Corner, and Christmas in Connecticut. I love old movies. I don't think I've ever sat down and watched all of Trading Places. I know my father nearly died laughing watching it though.

Doug Cook

Yep...Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. Great movie. Won the Oscar for the song "White Christmas'.

N M

Your focus on that one scene is like focusing on the drunk Santa at the beginning of Miracle on 34th Street šŸ˜‚

Mike LL

It is the movie that stands out in this poll, that's for sure. She is already watching a few "non-traditonal" Christmas movies, such as Die Hard 2 and, maybe, Lethal Weapon? I know it was mentioned. And she is watching a great Golden Era Christmas movie in Miracle 1947, so I have no complaints. But was hoping for a few more traditional Christmas movies, so with more Queen's Gambit, LoTR, RoboCop, and While You Were Sleeping, there are only so many more slots open. I don't want to fill the slot with Trading Places.

Mike LL

You might be right any other time of the year, not in December.

Mike LL

You are right. See my reply to a comment above about Trading Places. Want more traditional Christmas movies, there are only a few slots open before Christmas.

Viet Ta

Add love hard!

Mike LL

Of course, you can sync last year's reaction to Wonderful Life to a colorized version at any time, but I get that a re-watch of that movie would be very entertaining.

Andrew Rose

I loved The Family Man but that ending broke my heart... easy to know why.... So I pulled a Cassy/Carly and made up my own additional ending.

Dave

As much as I want Cassie to watch Trading Places, it is out of place here on this poll with other Christmas classics. The Shop Around the Corner has my vote and if there is a viewing for runner-up as well, my hope is that Shop gets it.

diego kontarovsky

trading places, jingle all the way, and the ref is the move here. btw jingle all the way is 1996, not 1966

Andrew Rose

I could really go for some ginger snaps right now.. thanks a lot guys! :(

Michael

Trading Places came out in June. Takes place during that time of year not a Christmas movie. You peoples are ruiners!

mikethemotormouth

It's possible she has seen it. I think it's just as likely she hasn't. And if she hasn't, her reaction to it could be a real treat

Wes Stewart

It takes place from Thanksgiving to New Year, and has Christmassy elements. It counts as a Christmas movie!

Paul Stelter

Disappointed "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever" isn't on the list, but maybe she's already seen it? (Filmed in British Columbia, btw)

Joseph Rardin

I'm right always. Great Christmas movie. I watched White Christmas it was boring. It's not that great. I haven't watched again. Also, you never get Bing Crosby singing White Christmas except in Holiday Inn.

Ronny Boss

I wouldn't mind seeing The Hebrew Hammer on this poll šŸ˜

Dean Holt

Always thought Jingle all the Way gets a bad rap. Itā€™s one I watch every year as itā€™s just a really fun and silly movie #putthecookiedown šŸ˜‚. But it looks like Trading Places is going to take it which Iā€™m more than ok with. As i always like seeing peoples reaction to 80s Eddie Murphy when they are use to the more modern kid friendly version.

Richard Maurer

Well, the day Cassie puts a horror movie in a Christmas poll means she's been turned to the dark side......so we can only hope. :)

James1035

Only movies I've seen on here are Arnold's Jingle All the Way and Trading Places. Even Christmas in Connecticut and I'm from Connecticut lol

Richard Maurer

It's as much a Christmas movie as Diehard..............hey, wait a minute........

Richard Maurer

Go for Lethal Weapon instead - same debate,,,,,,wait, has she seen that one too? I really don't remember.

aarswft

Lol always a bunch of old people in these polls

Richard Bourne

As long as Cassie is watching the original 1947 Miracle on 34th Street (hopefully with Carly), I am good. This was a really well done movie that doesn't over-do anything, it stays within the boundaries of reality but finds ways to surprise and accomplish seemingly impossible things in the spirit of Christmas. The real Macy's Department Store took a risk by signing on to movie, and I think it was paid off for them. The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade of course continues to this day and formally begins the Christmas season with Santa at the end of the Parade. The 1994 remake should have never been done IMHO. There were also two made for TV remakes, 1955 and 1973, both of which nobody remembers.

Christopher Smith

"First Moses, now this!" is an Eddie Murphy quote I use regularly.

John Cranberry

Thank God Trading Places is on this list. I have no desire to see anything else on this list. TP is a comedy masterpiece.

brooke atkins

Agree!! Die hard is not a Xmas movie!!! Donā€™t care what anyone says.

David Thibodeau

I love The Ref but happy Trading Places is in the lead.

Blackavar

Hah, I voted for the same 3 myself! All fun flicks, in their own ways

N M

I donā€™t think the ending is heartbreaking at allā€¦

jdj830

Trading Places will and should win, but I do think youā€™d enjoy Shop Around the Corner.

David Crabtree

I think she should still watch White Christmas, a definite all time great film, period.

Odd Thomas

Die Hard 2! Hurray!

Uncle Phoenix

Had to vote for The Ref; (Dennis Leary in his prime.) but really I am so motivated for Die Hard 2. Woohoo

Carol_White

I guess Gremlins will have to wait until 2023.

zynjams

meet me in st louis is great

Caomhan84

It's good that there are a lot of " old people" here. Otherwise this channel would be yet another in the long line of "all Marvel, all the time". Aren't there enough reaction channels that do that? Cassie is at least very eclectic. And if it wasn't for us " old people" She would have never seen something like The Best Years of Our Lives....which she adored. And countless others.

CJ Ilano

You should watch the Ryan reynolds/will Ferrell movie that just came out on AppleTV. itā€™s called Spirited. Itā€™s a ā€œChristmas Carolā€ and ā€œScroogedā€ type movie. Fun Musical.

AC5555

Show Shop around the corner some love Guys šŸ˜­

Brian O'Grady

Shop Around the Corner for me! It's a rom-com with Jimmy Stewart, so I think Cassie (and Carly) would love it.

Caomhan84

I agree about the colorized version of It's a Wonderful Life. I think that it works because unlike other colorized movies, it was done in the late 2000s. So they used computers and software to match everything. It's really good and honestly I like watching the color version more. I know that sacrilege but I don't care. They did a really good job with it.

Raj Hudek

The Family Stone is missing from this list!

James

I could not agree more. I saw it for the first time only a few years ago and have loved watching it every year since. Thanks for mentioning it!

Mike LL

No, its just that a lot of people don't read the text that comes with the poll. šŸ˜‚

James

Absolutely my favorite of all the Christmas Carol films.

KTVindicare

Jingle All the Way is a guilty pleasure of mine. I know it's trashy but it's so funny as an Arnold fan.

Ronny Boss

Can I do a write in vote for Earnest Saves Christmas?

Matt Rose

THE REF all the way. One of the best written black comedies of all time. I still say you should add KISS KISS, BANG BANG to this list...or maybe have it in your back pocket if you have time to watch another movie.

Mike LL

All us old people are waiting for all you young people to wise up and see some really great movies that you have missed. So far, its been a long wait.

Hankster

It's Holliday Inn for me, you can't beat Bing singing and Fred Astaire dancing

Nolan B.

I'm assuming Jingle All the Way's year is a typo? Or is there some obscure version made in 1966 that I don't know about?

Uncle Phoenix

Does anyone else FEEL like today is the day that Cassie and Carly are going to watch ā€˜300'. It just FEELS like today is the day, but Iā€™ve been wrong before.

LuMarq

Larry Dee Scott stars as a father trying to secure an Action Man action figure in 1966 American suburbia

Craig Russell

Trading places is NOT a Christmas movie, it's a movie that takes place during Christmas. Just like die hard and lethal weapon.

Sean Novack

Then "A Charlie Brown Christmas" should be on this poll, because at least that one talks about the TRUE meaning of Christmas!

Jacob Colson

The Ref! If probably won't win but damn I like Denis Leary!

XanderWhat

I remember seeing The Ref, Pulp Fiction and Clerks when they all came out when I was 14, and for the next year, every other word out of my mouth was a swear word.

Orcagirl78

Holiday Inn (aside from one questionable musical number) is one of my fave Christmas movies. White Christmas is good, too! The Ref is hilarious šŸ˜‚

Orcagirl78

One of my faves! Apparently there is a version without that number. And Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas" for the first time is worth watching the movie for!

Orcagirl78

Yes, the original 1947 one is so much better than the 1994 version. I have both, but Santa in the 1947 one is just magical! You really believe him!!

Orcagirl78

Yes! I just watched that recently for the first time a little while ago. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it ( not a big SJP fan).

Orcagirl78

100% agree! So good! My absolute fave Holiday movie. We usually watch it every year when decorating my parents place!

Richard Bourne

Such a solid cast. Edmund Gwenn won an Oscor for this protrail of Kris Kringle as best supporting actor! Maureen O'Hara, who was a huge star back then as Dorris, and then Natalie Wood who was the original child actor in Hollywood... wow. Every attempt to duplicate or update this fell short. A big part of this movie was a mother/daughter relationship which changed.

Hankster

Yes I grew up watching these old one's so they are what I think about this time of the year

mikethemotormouth

Love as a concept? Certainly not Syrupy sweet romance as entertainment? šŸ¤¢ I think Better Off Dead(1985) and Grumpy Old Men(1993) may be the only rom-coms I actually like. Then again, I can't say that I've seen many. Just my two cents

Dan Waller

Has Cassie seen Christmas Vacation? It's just not Christmas without the Griswolds. :)

Raj Hudek

Me neither but she was perfect for that role. My favorite was Luke Wilson's character. It was such a great family and warm story.

Cole Jennett

If Trading Places wins, and you select Coming to America from the trivia nights winners choices, please watch Trading Places first, as thereā€™s a great moment in Coming to America that you wonā€™t understand unless youā€™d already seen Trading Places.

Richard Maurer

They actually did make them. Released to coincide with the release of the movie.

Richard Maurer

Lethal Weapon is definitely NOT a Christmas movie. Don't even think about arguing with me!

Richard Maurer

One of my favorite werewolf movies! Wait, you were talking about the movie, right? If not, please disregard.

Richard Maurer

All Marvel, All the Time? That's a great idea! And much more profitable than classics could ever be.

AC5555

To each is own I guess. Some of us love those.

Mike Lemon

We don't know what the month's schedule is, it may already be on there somewhere.

Mike Lemon

I suggested it, but even if it made the list, there isn't a chance in the world it would have won. Plus, I doubt Cassie would like it. That said, it is nice to see someone else that has heard of it.

Mike Lemon

"Natalie Wood who was the original child actor in Hollywood" What about Shirley Temple?

mikethemotormouth

@AC5555 couldn't agree more, not everything is for everyone @Richard Maurer I can't speak ill of musicals. Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music were a sizeable part of my childhood, same for Rocky Horror and West Side Story being a part of my adolescence

Kristin D

If she watches Shop Around the Corner, which is great, I would love her to follow up with You've Got Mail.

Daniel Roberts

All i can say is that Trading Places is one of the BEST comedies that happens during the Christmas season.

Richard Bourne

OK Shirley Temple (Shirely Temple Black a US Embassador) fair enough, she was bigger than Natalie Wood, good point.

Mike LL

We watched almost a whole month of horror movies, or horror comedies in October. In December, what is so wrong about watching more than ONE or TWO movies that are, you know, actually about Christmas???

Alan Kobb

Just remember. It's not really Christmas until Hans Gruber falls off of Nakatomi Plaza!

Richard Bourne

Trading Places is not a Christmas movie as much as it is a movie that takes places during Christmas.

Glen Childs

My all time favorite is the Muppets Family Christmas, where Jim Henson shows up at the end. It's been my favorite since I was a kid

Jim Williams

These are all very good choices; it would be tough for me to decide. I'm surprised "Reindeer Games" isn't on the list. I will probably vote for "The Family Man" as it is most like one of the most beloved Christmas movies of the past. Don Cheadle is great in it. I doubt anybody else will vote for it, but even if it doesn't win... you should watch it. Everyone needs a glimpse.

Larry Darrell

Keeping with the way most people think on here, Better Off Dead (1985) and Grumpy Old Men (1993) are also Christmas movies.

Matthew Linson

Consider watching "The Bishop's Wife". It's a Christmas film that is not only funny but has romance. It stars Cary Grant, David Niven and Loretta Young. It's a great movie!!

Larry Darrell

Trashy?? Corny maybe. Some people like corny. Some people are looking for corny in their lives.

David Collins

I am sad that The Ref has like no chance to win this. It's so underappreciated!

nick bell

If Maverick can win Best Western, Trading Places can win best Christmas movie. I don't make the rules.

Richard Maurer

Cassie Would LOVE that movie! In fact it should be a double feature with The Exorcist, another movie Cassie's sure to love.

Richard Maurer

@mikethemotormouth - There are three musicals I like, Rocky Horror, Wizard of Oz, and the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That's three more than the number of Rom-Coms I like.

Richard Maurer

"Hey guys, hold onto your butts" - Cassie, whata potty mouth you're becoming!

Bjƶrn Karlsson

Hehe Mikethemotormouth. I think you never saw Show me love on FshareTV. Because that's some kind of rom-com that I think you will like šŸ˜‰šŸ˜šŸ¤£

Elliot Nesterman

I recommend that Cassie and Carly (and the whole family really) watch at some point (not for the channel, but for the pleasure of it) "She Loves Me," the Bock & Harnick musical adaptation of "Parfumerie," the play which "The Shop Around the Corner" is based on. While there is no film of the original Tony-winning production, there is film of the 2016 Tony-winning Broadway revival. Available from BroadwayHD through Amazon Prime, it stars Laura Benanti, Zachary Levi (bet you didn't know he can sing), and Jane Krakowski. It is an excellent production of a thoroughly delightful musical.

Terry Wood

Doing a comparison/contrast of Holiday Inn and White Christmas would be fun. Holiday Inn is the superior film, but White Christmas is quite fun, too. Hopefully, the ones you donā€™t watch this year, you can pick up in future years.

Jason Mackey

Amongst the choices, itā€™s got to be ā€œTrading Places.ā€ I love that itā€™s referred to in a scene in ā€œComing To America.ā€

Richard Bourne

Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd together, there are going to be some really funny moments. Every time I buy frozen concentrated orange juice I think of this movie.

Kelly Marie

Did you like it? I just saw it and was really disappointed in it. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I expected better from two A-list actors, I mean, some parts were decent, mainly the middle, but the beginning and end were not good. If it wasn't a musical and a 90-min comedy with a clever, funny script, it could've been much better.

Kelly Marie

If you like heartwarming, cute holiday rom-coms, Last Christmas is good, especially if you're a fan of George Michael songs. ;)

Richard Maurer

To be fair, horror fans had to settle for some pretty mild content. So having to watch movies that are Christmas adjacent, maybe now you know how we felt.

Dave Hill

I would just like to wish everyone a "Merry New Year!!!" ;)

Dennis Shogren

It happens that just a few days ago I watched Bad Santa for the first time. I decided if Iā€™m ever going to criticize a movie in a poll itā€™s going to be this one for Christmas. But seeing how well it was doing I thought who am I to fight democracy. Roger Ebert liked this movie but he adds: "There are certain unwritten parameters governing mainstream American movies, and Bad Santa violates all of them."

Happy Hanukkah

"I have been baking gingersnaps" I prefer drinking ginger schnapps.

Mike Lemon

It's on the "watched list", page 11. https://letterboxd.com/pib1/films/

mikethemotormouth

Thank you Richard! Mild as well as mildly infuriating and/or baffling. Shaun of the Dead being her first zombie movie? šŸ¤¦

Larry Darrell

Trading Places is one of the all-time greatest comedies for sure. However, I personally prefer not to watch Action films or Rated "R" comedies during Christmas time, even if they are set during Christmas. After New Years, in January when you are still in the Christmas Spirit, but your resolve to not blow anything up or shout profanity has weakened, is the perfect time for such films. That's just me. The older I get, the more conservative I get. Christmas Vacation (1989) and Trapped in Paradise (1994) are some hilarious Christmas comedies. The Man Who Came to Dinner (1942) is also a very funny Christmas classic. It's unclear if she has seen Christmas Vacation or not. Even if there is a shred of doubt that Cassie has or hasn't seen it all the way through, then I'd say it is worth watching again just to make sure. Almost every line in that movie is quotable. Same could be said for Home Alone 2. "Get down on your knees and tell me you love me" Taking a couple lines from The Muppet Christmas Carol, "It is the season of the Heart" and "It's true where ever you find love, it feels like Christmas." Romances do certainly fit well with Christmas. The Hallmark Channel figured that out. Some favorite Romances and films with Heart for Christmas time, not on the poll, are Bachelor Mother (1939), Remember the Night (1940), Meet John Doe (1941), The Bishop's Wife (1947), It Happened on Fifth Avenue (1947), Holiday Affair (1949) and We're No Angels (1955). So remember, "It's the Summer of the Soul in December" and "It's all the ways that we show Love, that feel like Christmas." ------------ Paul Williams (Little Enos).

Larry Darrell

A year late and a 100 bucks richer. look into the archives. Merry Christmas!!

Richard Maurer

Yeah, that was a big mistake. Should have at least watched Dawn of the Dead first, preferably the Romero one.

Jeff Milcheck

Hate to bring up this old debate, but Iā€™ll die on the hill saying Die Hard is not a Christmas Movie.

Al Swearengen

For me, Bad Santa is the funniest movie ever. Would love to see Cassie squirm her way through it.

I like that term! And while I donā€™t really see Trading Places as a Christmas movie either, I can see the argument for that one. Granted, I havenā€™t seen it in many many years, but I recall a lot more of a Christmas vibe as opposed to Die Hardā€¦ Hell, Dan Aykroyd was dressed up as Santa for a portion of the film! Thatā€™s pretty Christmasy.

Also, wanna suggest a film for if thereā€™s another Christmas poll this year. Bad Santaā€¦ I wouldnā€™t have suggested this a year ago, but Cassieā€™s come a long way. I think sheā€™d appreciate itā€¦ And itā€™s funny as hell.

I'd like to offer an alternative poll... a list of literal Christmas movies to watch: "The Robe" "Demetrius and the Gladiators" (sequel to the above) "Quo Vadis" "Barabbas" And I think you've seen "Ben Hur" (with Charlton Heston) And I'd like to add, "The Agony and the Ecstasy". Not exactly a Christmas movie, but the one that cemented my faith as a Christian, because of one line of dialogue.

You should check out Feast of the Seven Fishes. A wonderful, recent holiday film... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7846056/

White Christmas is truly THE ultimate Christmas movie IMO - and you would adore it

Carly Popcorn

Even though we've both seen it 10 times... can we just watch The Holliday... It has to be the best Christmas movie out there :)

Mike LL

If you are saying you both would be sitting there saying the key lines right before the actors said them, yeah, I would like to see that! šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

Just saw remembered the night for the first time and it was fantastic and weā€™re no angels is my sisters favorite and it happened on 5th ave is my moms with the others well loved. Those are Christmas classics not elf

On one condition, Carly. One of you is Team Jude Law and the other HAS to be Team Jack Black. No switches. One of you has to swoon over Jack Black. Maybe another round of rock, scissors, paper to decide? :)

Hey Carly. Welcome to Patreon. Its nice to have you around.

Jon Johns

My idea, long ago, was for another live watch-along, but for something you're both seen before, so we can all chat during the movie.

Ooh, yes, The Holiday would be near the top of my list for a Rewatch Reaction - there are so many movie references to movies that have been reacted to on the channel in it.

If your going to watch Trading Places, you really need to also watch Eddie Murphy's other big hit from the early 80's "Coming to America" . They go together somehow. Trading places, not really a Christmas movie, although set around Christmas.

The way I understand it, Cassie has seen Christmas Vacation but not in the way that she sits down uninterrupted and watches every second of it. I suspect a lot of it would be unfamiliar to her. I hope she gets to give it the Popcorn in Bed treatment.

Shawn Kildal

Cassie and Carly both agreed that the first Die Hard wasn't a Christmas movie since it didn't have the spirit of Christmas in it.

Shawn Kildal

Hey Carly! If you're a Kate Winslet fan see if you can get Sense and Sensibility on the docket sometime. It was done right before she did Titanic. If you liked Pride and Prejudice, you would love this. Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman also star in it.

Shawn Kildal

I love Trading Places, probably seen it over 20 times. I wouldn't consider it a Christmas movie though. I don't think the studios did either since it was released during the summertime

just me

so BAD SANTA didn't make the cut?

It's a matter of subjective opinion, so not worth dying or even arguing about.

Those are more Easter appropriate than Christmas, but that's just my opinion.
