Bad Santa:

You know, I think I've turned a corner.

Yeah? You f-ing petites now?

No. I'm not talking about that.

I beat the **** out of some kids today.

But it was for a purpose.

It made me feel good about myself.

It was like I did something constructive with my life.

I don't know.

Like I accomplished something.

You need many years of therapy.

Many, many, many f-ing' years of therapy.

The only one I'm embarrassed to like is Jingle All The Way. As for the worst, it's probably one of terrible Hallmark type holiday movies my wife has recently watched on Netflix

The best is a toss up between Elf and Home Alone. I side with Elf though.

Ha, I'm not strict, but I know how Paddock regulars get. I was thinking of throwing some Christmas Movie Babes up there, just in case. So feel free to add some!

Christmas Vacation
Elf
Muppet Christmas Carol

For embarrassing, probably Muppet Christmas Carol. But I don't even care at this point. That's just a damn good movie. Many even say it's the best and most faithful adaption to Dickens' original literature.

For worst.. Jim Carrey really doesn't have a good track record with Christmas Movies. His version of The Grinch was just too off the wall. And just watched his Christmas Carol and that was pretty crappy too. Great visuals, but who is that movie made for? No one under 13 and no one over 13 apparently. Not to mention I couldn't understand half the characters.

***CHRISTMAS MOVIE TRIVIA TIME***

From Jim Carrey's The Grinch, what does Cindy Lou Who do in real life? It might surprise you!

The kid in me has grown to really like Polar Express the last couple of years.

My go to Christmas movie is still George C Scott's Christmas Carol.

Bad Santa was a horrible movie and should only be on worst of all times list. I cannot understand how anyone can say they liked that movie.

Buddy the Elfs favorite Christmas movie is... Ernest? Man.. Just lost a lot of money.

BTW.. Watching Jingle All The Way.. And it's not half as bad as I remember. At least it has Sinbad and the one Belushi who can keep his blow problem under wraps..

JATW >>> Jim Carreys The Grinch.
