Go easy on him. It’s not his fault he was born without a soul.
I will vote for Jack Frost, with Michael Keaton as the dead dad reincarnated as a snowman. Roger Ebert’s review is screamingly funny.
Hey, if you think the movis bad (and I agree it is), try watching the stage musical version. Basically, it’s the movie with the good parts removed.
I knew it would stink when I discovered they changed the title from the wonderfully understated Skipping Christmas.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s height is famously contested…a few seconds of internet searching will reveal a billion different conflicting accounts of how tall he supposedly is. It seems to be agreed upon that he wears lifts in his shoes, but exactly how tall he is without them is not apparently known. Whatever the case, he is substantially shorter than he appears.
Can’t believe I’m the first person to mention the truly awful Fred Claus.
It’s a Christmas tradition in my family to get together and riff on White Christmas. It’s such a hilariously bad movie. Our favorite game is trying to spot Susan, the general’s granddaughter, who is always lurking in the back of the scene, never saying anything.
I also opened the thread to mention Mixed Nuts.
For an agonizing second, I thought you meant Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. That couldn’t possibly be what you meant, could it? It’s a cherished family tradition here at the Ko house. ![]()
You know, every movie on this thread have people who love it. I loathe this movie also but a co-worker gushed about it so much the other day, I didn’t have the heart to tell her what I thought.
This is one of my favorite movies ever in the history of time. (Not just xmas movies, MOVIES) And I’m 40, so that includes a lot of time.
Lee Major with a minigun saving Santa from psychos. Classic.
Si
The only movie that proves it is possible to insult the intelligence of a three year old.
But it gave us the lines:
Kid: But dad!
Snowman: Did you just call me butt dad!
I came in to post that. Horrible, horrible movie. I walked out on it a bit over midway through.
Does anyone know the title of the OP’s first movie – the one where the parents had to buy presents for their son’s killer? That sounds like a SUCKY holiday film.
And you know what? I’m gonna admit here, to all of you anonymous strangers, something I would never admit in real life. I don’t like “A Christmas Story” either. 
Tell me about it—I haven’t seen it either, but it somehow reminded me of a quote from an old “Law & Order” episode, said as a comeback to an unscrupulous politician—
“Paraphrasing Martin Luther King’s thoughts won’t lend credence to yours. King walked with the angels…you’d slide in slime on your belly to get what you want.”
This is what I came here to mention. I don’t know if it’s the worst Christmas movie I’ve seen, but it was so clearly slapped together for no reason other than tying into a hit song, that it was a big disappointment to me. Holiday Inn is in a completely different league.
I have to nominate ‘A Carol Christmas’. Truly stupid version of ‘A Christmas Carol’, with Tori Spelling in the Scrooge role, playing a nasty TV talk show host.
William Shatner as the Ghost of Christmas Present didn’t help.
Yayy! Somebody else hates that bloody film! I really REALLY want to set about that irritatating sodding angel with a baseball bat.:mad:
The other Christmas film that I loathe and despise is the godawful musical version of A Christmas Carol - the one with Albert “I couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket” Finney in the lead role and lyrics and music by Leslie “drivel” Bricusse.
Bingo, and a perfect analogy as well. Far and away the worst “beloved” movie ever. How anyone can sit through it more than once is beyond me.
