What a crock of shit!

This is the fucking list, along with some dumbass quotes and my response:

Santa Claus: The Movie

"Let's get one thing straight up front: I don't think the whole Santa Claus myth is very charming or useful."

What the fuck? Unless you are religious, there wouldn't be Christmas if it weren't for Santa Claus. What is this asshole trying to do? Ruin the holidays for children? Fuck him. I would say he is Un-American, but since Christmas isn't exclusive to us, I'll say this guy is anti-Earth. Fuck him again.

Jingle All the Way

"Though Arnold Schwarzenegger was always a sketchy cinematic presence, this 1996 paean to Christmas consumerism and corporate values proved that the whole "he's so bad it's almost funny" shtick was long past its sell-by date."

I can actually understand why some people would agree with this guy. But I don't. I may actually put this on my top favorite list. But I also don't object to him putting it on his worst list.

Home Alone/Home Alone 2

"But sometimes 50 million Elvis fans can be wrong. For evidence, look no further than the nonstop mugging of the adorable little star, the sub-Three Stooges violence visited on Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern's hapless burglars, and the utterly shameless mother-and-child-reunion tear jerk at the end."

What is this guy's deal? What isn't to like about Home Alone. For his age at the time, Mac played this part great. Also, Pesci and Stern played their parts perfectly. Usually great acting isn't as important in a movie like this as it would in a movie like The Godfather or Shawshank Redemption. But that didn't stop a lot of the actors in Home Alone from actually doing some pretty amazing acting. The "sub-Three Stooges violence" is what made the high-spots of the movie. Those stunt doubles got the shit beat out of them filming that movie. The falls were real. Even as a small child watching this for the first time, I had to bite my lip to keep from yelling "OH SHIT!" in front of my parents and I don't even know if I cussed yet at that age.

The Santa Clause series

"OK, so let's say you don't hate Tim Allen. That doesn't mean there's any excuse for a film in which he: A) accidentally kills Santa Claus; and, B) is forced by the legal document referred to in the title to become Santa Claus. But, OK, let's say it ... morehappens once and it makes a lot of money. That doesn't mean there's an excuse for two further sequels that protract this already flimsy premise into a witless franchise."

The first movie was okay for me. But I can't agree or disagree with him because I haven't seen the sequels.

Jack Frost (the one with Michael Keaton)

I haven't seen this movie, so no comment.

Deck the Halls

Again, haven't seen this one.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

"Chevy Chase was, at one time, funny in movies; even in movies with "National Lampoon's Vacation" in the title. But by the time the third installment creaked onto the screen, his every move was canned, every joke recycled, every improvisation... more stale. Normally, this would be just another lame comedy on cable. But throw in the element of Christmas, and suddenly the filmmakers are allowed to add rank sentimentality to the poo jokes and sophomoric innuendo. After staring down a salesgirl's cleavage and 'rasslin' with the string of lights on top of the house, Chase's Clark Griswold weeps while looking at holiday snapshots and suddenly it's a winter wonderland. The poo jokes are more honest."

Seriously? Maybe up to this point, I thought maybe I just didn't like this list due to different taste in movies. That was until I saw this garbage of a choice. Honestly? This asshole couldn't think of ten movies that are worse than Christmas Vacation? I always thought this movie was a staple of the Christmas season because people actually like it and it was a really funny movie. I guess I was wrong. I guess we are morons for liking this crappy movie...OR...Maybe this guy is picking on movies that everyone likes, and so he is pissed because he thinks they are overrated and thus decided to shit on them.

Christmas with the Kranks

I would actually like some feedback on this one. I haven't watched it yet. It looks like the type of movie that I could really like or really not like (hate is such a strong word). So I am a little hesitant to rent it.

Surviving Christmas

This wasn't a bad movie, but I didn't think it was good either. I would (possibly) watch it if it were on and nothing better was playing. But I wouldn't go out of my way to rent it. Also, and this is on me, I have trouble with distinguishing James Gandolfini from Tony Soprano. I keep waiting for Affleck's character to get whacked.

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Jim Carrey)

I'm actually going to agree with this one.

In conclusion, either this guy (Sean Nelson) was trying to prove these movies aren't as good as we think they are (maybe he thinks we are shitting on Christmas Story and It's a Wonderful Life), he doesn't have a sense of humor, or he is just a complete idiot. He also seems to be lacking a little Christmas spirit. Like I said before, I have a hard time believing he couldn't come up with ten worse movies than these. Maybe he should have named this list "Top Ten movies that aren't as good as you think they are", or "My Top Ten Least Favorite Movies", not "Top Ten Worst".

Either way, I have to say it one last time. Fuck this guy.

God, **** anyone who thinks the Grinch Stole Christmas was bad. Just because it's not as good as the cartoon short(Which is pretty near-impossible to accomplish anyway) doesn't mean the whole frickin' film is automatically bad as a whole. I enjoyed it, maybe it's my Jim Carrey fanboy-ism showing but come on. Same with Jingle All the Way, yeah it's a retarded film but you get to see Arnold lay out both a reindeer and the Big Show, that's entertainment. I'm not sure what this guy's deal was with Home Alone, maybe he viewed it as yet another "kid beats criminals/terrorists/rapist/etc" film, even though it was pretty much the film that started that fad and can't really be blamed for sticking in...

I still don't think this guy believes this list. I think he had an agenda in writing it. Probably to prove they aren't as good as everybody thinks they are. Maybe he is a better writer than I am, but other than that, I don't know what the fuck makes him more qualified than I am to say whether or not Home Alone was a good movie.

The 10 Worst Christmas Movies were all made between 2000 and present day, starting with How The Grinch Stole Christmas. National Lampoon? The first two Home Alone movies? Santa Claus: The Movie? The guy who made that list is obviously trolling. Fuck him. I'm suprised that Elf isn't on this, because the only way it could possibly been more banal and pedantic is if it had a "LOL WILL FERRELL ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE" rant in it.

Exactly. Fuck him! Its been how many days since I read this? and I'm still mad.

this is possibly the worst list in the history of lists

I think I have to agree. If seen worse list ideas. But as far as actual content, this list is the worst of all times.
