Help me pick a holiday flick!
Added 2023-11-29 17:00:08 +0000 UTCThank you for all of your fantastic suggestions! There were too many to choose from so I will be doing at least 2 holiday polls this year. I don't want to focus too much on Holiday content this year, but I feel like 2 films is a good amount to get into the spirit.
For this poll, I wanted to focus on films that I haven't seen. A TON of you suggested Love Actually which ACTUALLY surprised me! I'm pretty sure I've seen bits from that film, but not the whole thing. I certainly don't remember it at all, but I will include it in the next poll, along with other films I've seen or have seen parts of.
There were also some films mentioned a bunch that I am actually a little TOO familiar with. So you will not see these in any polls:
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1996)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Jim Carrey's version)
Home Alone 2 (saw this last year with Tyler)
Elf
Looking forward to seeing what you all pick! As always, thank you for your support here on Patreon. Happy Holidays!

2023-12-08 07:01:54 +0000 UTCKKBB is leading now but I have no idea when this poll ends and I have no idea if we're still gonna win when that time comes. Or tie. Or lose. When does this poll end? Anyone?

2023-12-05 07:51:48 +0000 UTCwhile getting merry last night I watched Lethal Weapon and Die Hard—two great Christmas movies. on this poll, our two other favourite Christmas movies Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Violent Night
James finneran
2023-12-02 14:42:49 +0000 UTCTheres two short xmas films from How To Train Your Dragon. Gift of the Night Fury 2011 and Homecoming 2018. Both would be a fun holiday short watch :)

jamie jones
2023-12-01 09:04:33 +0000 UTCWhat about Die Hard or the Gremlins, both are fun holiday movies.

2023-12-01 07:23:50 +0000 UTCI honestly think It's a Wonderful Life is my favorite movie of all time. Timeless and classic - it has lost none of it's impact despite it being 60 something years old. It still moves me when I watch it.

2023-12-01 05:02:52 +0000 UTCViolent Night!!!!
lance tophoj
2023-11-30 19:45:38 +0000 UTCKlaus is better than all of these, no ones seen it thats why its so low!!! Also being an animated film it needs its own category
Simon Bauer
2023-11-30 18:51:55 +0000 UTCSame can said about Die Hard.
Kyle Turning Robe
2023-11-30 17:14:40 +0000 UTCWow so disappointing to see Klaus at 14% :( and KKBB is in the lead now? It's not a Christmas movie--like at all, it's just set during the holiday season, there's no Christmas theme or anything--so maybe this ended up being a sneaky way of getting Nat to do 2 more Xmas movie polls, so I guess that works?
Mike Hell
2023-11-30 14:47:25 +0000 UTCI swear I lost it at NAJP and it only went worse from there. Just... that was just so good. Wait! And such a great call-back in IM3! "I loved you in 'A Christmas Story', by the way." That whole game of who resembles a celebrity.
Richard Flores
2023-11-30 06:04:49 +0000 UTCHopefully it gets more attention now. Even if it loses, it made a great fight. And if it wins, wow. If it wins....
Richard Flores
2023-11-30 05:53:20 +0000 UTComg I LOVE Kiss Kiss Bang Bang! It's absolutely why Marvel hired the director to do Iron Man 3, and similar in that I wouldn't necessarily call it a Christmas movie, despite being set during that season. And contains my favorite comedic exchange in any movie ever? About 20 minutes in?

2023-11-30 04:33:03 +0000 UTC(And Claire Trevor won the Oscar for her supporting role in Key Largo, so there's that too!)
Paul Patine
2023-11-30 04:21:55 +0000 UTCI voted for Violent Night, but I hope one day you'll watch It's a Wonderful Life. And also one day please watch Key Largo -- not an Xmas movie, just a good one to watch someday, if you haven't already. With those 2 movies, you'll see 2 very different roles played by Lionel Barrymore.
Paul Patine
2023-11-30 04:18:05 +0000 UTCI also forgot Sneakers with Robert Redford and Ben Kingsley. I KNOW you would love it. Oy vey!!!
José R. Colón
2023-11-30 04:04:01 +0000 UTCKiss Kiss Bang Bang shouldn't be included. It’s just set during Christmas but doesn't have anything to do with the holiday
Lucky Dragon
2023-11-30 03:50:15 +0000 UTCI am definitely in favor of either violent nights or kiss kiss bang bang
Nathaniel Wolf
2023-11-30 03:47:36 +0000 UTCDisappointing to see Klaus so far behind. It makes sense, this community tends to favor more action/comedy than wholesome, but it's disappointing all the same. I guess we can always try next year.
Greta Buskirk
2023-11-30 02:16:40 +0000 UTCI am flabbergasted that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is in the lead. I'm down with any movie but that one is such a gem and never gets any attention.
RabidMango
2023-11-30 01:09:17 +0000 UTCWas torn between Klaus and Scrooged.
Bryce Morita
2023-11-30 00:57:24 +0000 UTCKiss Kiss Bang Bang is just a great movie, no disrespect to the others on the list, but I definitely hope it wins
TwistedMagoo
2023-11-29 23:08:52 +0000 UTCKlaus is SOOOOO underrated and wholesome
Julian Lee
2023-11-29 22:38:16 +0000 UTCI'm in the camp of Die Hard being one of my favorite "christmas movies" so..... xP
SmokeAndACoffee
2023-11-29 22:18:22 +0000 UTCI haven't seen Scrooged in many years so I only have a vague memory of the scene you mentioned, but by your description, isn't that a reason why Violent Night is a POOR choice for a Christmas movie? It's an action movie with a Christmas Skin over it. Now Klaus, on the other hand... ;)
Mike Hell
2023-11-29 21:54:53 +0000 UTCDORKS?! LOL! How dare you?
Alan Felicia
2023-11-29 21:33:58 +0000 UTCAll of these are pretty amazing, Scrooged and White Christmas are traditions for the holiday in my fam! I had to vote Kiss Kiss Bang Bang just because it's such a damned excellent movie that I'm 99% sure Nat will thoroughly enjoy. I really want to see Violent Night myself though too. Thinking while typing: Violent Night should be watched AFTER Scrooged as the moment I saw the trailer for Violent Night my first thought was "Hey! This is totally the movie Bill Murray's character in Scrooged wanted to make! Lol!" (and if anyone says that's a spoiler, bite me. That's such a 2 sec thing in Scrooged that holds so little importance to the story... just eff off with that nonsense *chuckles)
SmokeAndACoffee
2023-11-29 21:23:01 +0000 UTCAhhh man I want Scrooged so bad haha
Jessa L Ochman
2023-11-29 21:10:17 +0000 UTCI watched violent on Christmas eve for my birthday in cinema when it first came out it was great how it ended exactly on midnight Christmas day

2023-11-29 21:07:18 +0000 UTCI have a headache looking at these poll results!

2023-11-29 20:41:53 +0000 UTCAgree! I won’t be snuggling up to watch that in the run up to Christmas!

2023-11-29 20:40:16 +0000 UTCGood movie!

2023-11-29 20:38:12 +0000 UTC2 is a good number for holiday films i feel like.

2023-11-29 20:37:29 +0000 UTCRise of the guardians, great animated film, and I had such a crush on the main character when I was a kid
Hades
2023-11-29 20:31:15 +0000 UTCKiss Kiss Bang Bang is not a Christmas movie. It's a good movie but not a Christmas movie. Violent Night should win.
Navjot Singh
2023-11-29 20:25:29 +0000 UTCHoping for Klaus <3
Sunflower Mari
2023-11-29 19:57:00 +0000 UTCScrooged is the GOATed Christmas movie for me 😭
Daniel McGuinness
2023-11-29 19:55:43 +0000 UTCMuch as I love Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, it's not a Christmas movie. Shane Black just loves setting his movies at Christmas time.
Quick
2023-11-29 19:29:31 +0000 UTCYeah it’s not a Christmas movie, it’s just a fun mystery/comedy that takes place during Christmas. Good film, but shouldn’t be in this list.
Mike Hell
2023-11-29 19:25:24 +0000 UTCNew as in recent, as opposed to the other films on this list. Nat’s audience tends to skew young and impressionable, so a newer film starring Daddy Hopper is gonna be an easy vote for the Zennials who haven’t watched “The Classics” and I am firmly planting my feet in the camp that Klaus is a new addition to the classic Christmas film list. Violent Night is not going to be a classic. It is certainly not a terrible film, it’s just a meh film. To me, anyway. Clearly a lot of people don’t think so.
Mike Hell
2023-11-29 19:23:23 +0000 UTCKiss Kiss Bang Bang is Die Hard's step-sister. It's hot, and technically not actually related. But it's still not a Christmas movie.
David Collins
2023-11-29 19:22:05 +0000 UTCCmon kiss kiss bang bang! Pleeeaaase
DustinChecksIn
2023-11-29 19:21:22 +0000 UTCKiss Kiss Bang Bang really is a hidden gem
Edward Rahardjo
2023-11-29 19:17:12 +0000 UTC"It's A Wonderful Life" does not belong on a poll. It's a classic. It's THE classic. You just watch it and do so on Christmas day. The only question is, do you feel like setting up a camera to catch your reaction the first time you do? So I voted for Violent Night, cause that movie ROCKS!!
David Collins
2023-11-29 19:14:35 +0000 UTCI think I have seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang but do not remember it at all, I certainly did not remember it as a Christmas movie. Is it in a similar situation to Die Hard in that regard? In any case I voted Scrooged since I have not seen it in a long while but I do remember it was a fantastic version of "A Christmas Carol".
slypeartree
2023-11-29 19:10:00 +0000 UTCBad santa would be sweet. Kiss kiss bang bang has my vote here
jamie jones
2023-11-29 19:08:22 +0000 UTCno, it was new last year...when it was available on streaming and people asked for it...Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a good movie but is barely a christmas movie compared to Violent Night(we could say is like Iron Man 3 that happens during Christmas but nothing else)...I do want her to watch both but I think she would be more shocked by Violent Night
Guillermo Antonio Ricci Alvarez
2023-11-29 19:03:24 +0000 UTCI wish Klaus was getting more votes because it is probably the best animated Christmas movie I’ve seen in the last 10 years. So worth the watch
Explxsive
2023-11-29 19:00:39 +0000 UTCI highly recommend! It's an animated film on Netflix, one of my new favorite Christmas films :)
Yani Dodge
2023-11-29 18:43:25 +0000 UTCCome on Klaus! It's so good :D
Yani Dodge
2023-11-29 18:42:30 +0000 UTCFingers crossed for Scrooged!
Christian Fierro
2023-11-29 18:05:55 +0000 UTCKiss Kiss Bang Bang is fantastic. Hilarious that it's in the poll just because every Shane Black movie takes place at Christmas.
K.N.
2023-11-29 17:52:11 +0000 UTCSeriously guys. She’s only watching 2 Christmas movies this season and you want 1 of them to be Violent Night? An—at best—one-time-watch goofy violent xmas film? It’s just because it’s new, isn’t it… You’re all insane.
Mike Hell
2023-11-29 17:41:36 +0000 UTCDie Hard 2 but I'll choose Violent Night... oh wait Kiss Kiss Bang Bang might win? Heck yea
Walter Lopez
2023-11-29 17:41:27 +0000 UTCBest Christmas movie ever besides Krampus
John Piazza
2023-11-29 17:35:11 +0000 UTCFINALLY Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is going to win one! Let’s go!! Lol
PureGonzo
2023-11-29 17:34:24 +0000 UTCNever heard of Klaus but Violent Night is awesome. Especially since she likes David Harbour
John Piazza
2023-11-29 17:34:17 +0000 UTCScrooged for sure. You should also do It's a Wonderful Life sometime, but it wouldn't need to be around Christmas. It's at most tangentially a Christmas movie.
Derek H.
2023-11-29 17:34:10 +0000 UTCI have to give a shout-out to The Ref, a hilarious Xmas movie starring Dennis Leary
Patrick Egan
2023-11-29 17:30:23 +0000 UTCKKBB has to win once, please

Rosanne Stewart
2023-11-29 17:11:46 +0000 UTClol I swear if you dorks choose Violent Night over a genuine new Christmas Classic like Klaus...

2023-11-29 17:06:20 +0000 UTCKiss Kiss Bang Bang will win a Patreon poll for someone someday. I have faith

Jason Dolan
2023-11-29 17:04:58 +0000 UTCIf you don’t pick Violent Night then I’d say It’s A Wonderful Life or Scrooged. Don’t know how Krampus isn’t on this list though.
John Piazza
2023-11-29 17:04:39 +0000 UTCHave you seen The Holiday (2006)? That's a great happy cry holiday flick. If you have, just ignore me. =)

2023-11-29 17:04:14 +0000 UTCHappy Hump Holiday Movie Poll Day Nattie 😄 I haven't seen any of these movies so I will be excited to watch any of them with you. I'll go with Klaus as it seems to be a popular festive movie with the folks here. Have a great day 💛
Darryl Low
2023-11-29 17:03:55 +0000 UTCCome on! Let's make Kiss Kiss Bang Bang happen.You KNOW she'll love the movie.
Kevin Maguire
2023-11-29 17:03:27 +0000 UTCIf you haven't seen it, check out Office Christmas Party. Not a great "reaction" movie but a fun one to chill out to
Vidcutter
2023-11-29 17:03:10 +0000 UTCMan. This is a hard one. I have not seen Klaus or Violent Night so won't be voting for them (I'm sure they're good), but deciding between KKBB, Scrooged, and Wonderful Life is crazy difficult. It's a Wonderful Life is, like, THE Christmas movie so it seems like the natural pick, but KKBB and Scrooged are so damn fun.
Jeff K
2023-11-29 17:02:36 +0000 UTCLet Violent Night win please 🙏🙏🙏 David Harbour is freaking hilarious in it
