Does **Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny** count as a bad movie? If so, thatā€™s the worst one ever. **Itā€™s a Wonderful Life** is in the top 5 worst movies. But Iā€™m afraid the OP is very much mistaken, as **Scrooged** is a modern classic. ---

Christmas with the Kranks was not just the worst Christmas movie ever, but is one of the ten worst movies Iā€™ve ever seen. Aside from being a bad movie generally, the message wasā€¦ well, it was fucking insane, from what I could tell. ---

Oh, I have another worst Cā€™mas movie nomination- **Santa Clause** , starring Dudley Moore & John Lithgow! Tho **One Magic Christmas** is still worse than that. I have two equally bad made-for-TV Biblical Christmas movies- the late 70ā€™s-early 80ā€™s **Mary and Joseph** and the more recent **Mary Mother of Jesus** (with Anakinā€™s Mom as Mary & Christian Bale as JC). ---

I offer the trailer for [Christmas With a Capital C](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_U6RGt8V88), a straight to video movie about the war on Christmas starring Ted McGinley as the mayor of a small Alaskan town whose Christmas traditions come under attack from lawyer and atheist Daniel Baldwin.

> [@FriarTed](#): > > Oh, I have another worst Cā€™mas movie nomination- **Santa Clause** , starring Dudley Moore & John Lithgow! I think you mean **Santa Claus: The Movie** , which is what it was called in my corner of the world, rather than Tim Allenā€™s **The Santa Clause**. At the time I liked the Dudley Moore film, but I watched it again more recently and I agree, itā€™s lavish but rather disappointingly dull. ---
