And it's not worth looking up, but some piece of garbage with Ben Affleck and James Gandolfini.

Ive never seen it but it’s probably a good call. If Ben Affleck is in it, it sucks.

I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me, but I've never liked Will Ferrell and have an especially low tolerance for him in this one. My wife & son watch this movie every year but I can't stand it.

I couldn't agree more, Did not like Elf, and also have a low Will Ferrell tolerance.

I don’t buy that Home Alone is anyone’s worst  
UConn4523 : 12/7/2019 3:50 pm : link
is it possible you just don’t like it but are trying to stand out and sound cool?

You do t have to like it but it’s hardly the “worst” movie.
Agree with some here

Ditto my previous post. In no way shape or form is it the worst Christmas movie. You may not like it but I bet you’d watch it over Jingle all the Way 2 featuring Larry the Cable Guy.
Without a doubt

Christmas with the Kranks. I don't know why but that movie bothers the hell out of me because of how awful it is.
The only movie that could rival Christmas with the Kranks  
Jay on the Island : 12/7/2019 5:01 pm : link
as the worst Christmas movie is Deck the Halls.

Can't believe people would pick Christmas Story.

Might not be your cup of tea, but worst? You need to see more bad Xmas movies apparently.

I've been dragged to quite a few like Four Christmases with Reese Witherspoon. :/

Greg from LI : 12/7/2019 9:37 pm : link
But I will say that I never got the big deal about that movie. Didn't hate it or anything, but didn't think it was funny either.

Christmas With the Kranks is pretty bad, yeah.

Home Alone or A Christmas Story either hasn't seen very many Christmas movies or tends to hate things that are very popular. I refuse to believe otherwise.

There are a lot of stupid Christmas movies out there that I haven't seen yet. Like Christmas with the Cranks. That wouldn't be worse than those two movies? Fred Claus? Four Christmases?
You shut your mouth about Fred Claus!

be judgmental on opinion questions.

but people who say Home Alone or Christmas Story is the worst Christmas movie are likely the same or similar to people who say Shawshank Redemption isn't a good movie. or is the dreaded "overrated".

It's like when something becomes popular people try to analyze the popularity and they shun it because it's mainstream. And for some reason some people think they're better than mainstream. So, even if you don't think either were great movies, or good movies, or you just don't liek either one, neither is anything close to the worst Christmas movie for anyone who is not a psychopath.

so, stop trying to push yourself away from anything mainstream that doesn't deserve it, it's not a good look.

Tim in Eternal Blue : 12/8/2019 9:48 am : link
There are some dreadful ones, especially from the Hallmark channel.

But I have a Few:

Santa With Muscles (1996)

Nobody, absolutely nobody, asked for this. Hulk Hogan basically plays himself — a conceited, self-made rich guy who sells bodybuilding supplements with his face on them. A series of events lead to amnesia and he starts to believe he’s Santa Claus. And yes, it’s as bad as it sounds.

Bad Santa 2. I loved the first 1 but I thought this one was trash..

Anything nutcracker. I fucking hate the nutcracker

I don't know, I just never cared for A Christmas Story. I find it boring. I also like mostly main stream stuff, I love A Christmas Carol in many different versions. This is an opinion, and mine is this.

I'm pretty calm. If you didn't say it's the worst Christmas movie than clearly my post wasn't directed at you. If someone needs to "fucking calm down", it's not me.

It's not even a debate. People in here bringing up legitimately good movies and saying they're the worst because they didn't like them. No, the movie is fine, it's your opinion that's the worst.

I believe they're called hipsters. I have an old friend from high school that fits this description. He refuses to watch any Star Wars movies and often refers to popular movies/music as overrated or terrible.
In fairness....  
Greg from LI : 12/8/2019 3:11 pm : link
...most popular movies and music ARE terrible, especially since since comic book shit started dominating theaters.

By far... the creepiest, most corny and contrived Christmas movie of all time. The characters, the animation and kids voices are cringe worthy. The poor attempt to get the voice track in synch with mouth movements is a big addition to the creepiness.

I LOVE the creepy, love the movie. My only gripe is the soundtrack - I don't like ANY of the songs made for the film, believe they'd have been far better off sticking to classics.
