Is A Christmas Story the worst Christmas movie?

Is this the new thing ?

I don’t think I’ve ever sat down and watched it from start to finish in one setting

I’ve only ever seen bits and pieces throughout the 24 hour marathons to make up the entire movie

Jack Frost gets my vote, unless we can nominate sequels; then, I would pick Jack Frost 2.

Never seen this one, I’ll have to check it out.

Yeah, I was a freshman in college when it came out. I had never heard of it until I was in my 30’s. It has a following for some reason.

How can it be the worst when Elf exists?

It didn't exist when I was a kid and then people my age just pretended at some random point that it was a classic.

It was off the radar when I was a child...not much peep about it...but by word of mouth watched it in the late 80's. Sort of like Shawshank, took about 5 years to catch on. A Christmas Story became a VHS hit.

Shite the classics were still Miracle on 34th Street and It's a Wonderful Life in the 80's.

So A Christmas Story was a nice respite from the usual suspects...and it gained traction through the 90's and then started being on TV for 24hrs. (no shame in that) It's a Wonderful Life only became popular 30 years after it was released into free domain.

It's weird to dislike this movie...but often it comes from over-saturation. So contrary view becomes avante-garde.

I only opened this thread so I could downvote this.

I also say yes.

It’s painfully boring 22. Unfortunately people have made liking this movie part of their identity.
