There are posters in this thread who can’t even get the movie title right, calling people figs for not liking it.

Everyone knows Christmas Vacation and Die Hard are the GOATs for real men.

What’s up with the Christmas story lovers in this thread’s obsession with gay men


Bunch of geriatrics projecting their closet gayness on people they disagree with.

I think “sucks” is probably a harsh word. I love the movie for its significance and tie to Christmas…but is a “funny” movie…no, not particularly. A Christmas Story is a very average movie in terms of comedy…but the movies significance cannot be downplayed.

Agree. Never got into it either

It’s geared towards the lowest common denominator

The movie is a beautiful tale of Americana nostalgia.

I agree, think it’s the most overrated Christmas movie.

GOAT: Christmas Vacation

Then Elf, Home Alone, Gremlins, The Santa Clause, Four Christmases, and of course Die Hard

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I can’t stand Elf, mainly because I don’t find Will Ferrell funny at all.

The Santa clause sucks arse and doesn’t belong in the same sentence as the others

Depends on what Christmas was like in your house as a kid. Were they good times? If so, you'll probably like it.

It’s not a bad movie by any stretch but it’s highly overrated.

It's one of the most amazing things in my life to watch this movie become popular simply because people claim that it's popular only because it got shown on TV a lot. I was a child in the '80s and nobody talked about this movie until I was an adult. People my age and your age created this fake nostalgia like it was a part of their childhood

Terrible take is terrible. It was popular WAY before TNT/TBS decided to play it on repeat all Christmas Eve or whenever they play it.

The movie is insufferable, not one likable character, and so depressing.
