I've never seen Casablanca or Pulp Fiction either. I wasn't much of a movie watcher as a kid (and am still not that much of one), so I have not seen A LOT of movies I really should.  :sweat:

A classic. It almost seems like more people have seen the special than read the book.
I loved both as a kid. :)

Also, Die Hard is amazing (of course), and Woodland Critter Christmas might actually be my favorite South Park episode period.

Definitely at least watch Casablanca!

Casablanca is one of those movies that's required to be viewed by all. Otherwise you're just wrong.

I've never seen Casablanca as well.

It's porridge that's made of wahoo. :>

Anyway, I love The Grinch and Dr. Seuss in general. Also, even though it's not as good as the special or book, I do kinda like the Jim Carrey movie.

Avaitor

Yeah, Casablanca and Pulp Fiction are essential viewing for practically everyone. I'd say more than Citizen Kane or The Godfather, tbh.

Add Singin' in the Rain along with those, as well.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

DAY 4:



Just like with our Die Hard logic, it takes place on Christmas, so it counts. I haven't seen this movie in ages, and I aim to change that soon, but it's just such a unique and fresh movie. It's so much fun and is just edgy enough with its content to be really close to stepping over the family-friendly line, but I think that it's appropriately mischievous and even somewhat sinister for kids, while having plenty of great elements for adults to enjoy as well. It's just a really fun concept executed perfectly in this movie.

Avaitor

It's an awesome movie for sure, definitely containing some of Dante's best vision. I haven't seen the sequel, though.

The sequel is a parody of the first movie with some good LT nods. A lot of people don't like it, but I do.

DAY 5:



It's been ages since Ive last seen this one as well, but I remember loving it as a kid.

Avaitor

I put this one on earlier this year, in anticipation of Muppets Most Wanted. It's a great adaptation of the Dickens story, as it keeps respectful to both his fans, with a fantastic performance by Michael Caine, and Muppet fans, with excellent jokes throughout. Talk about best of both worlds.

Being the first big Muppet production done after Jim Henson died, this was a massive success.

I watched The Muppet Christmas Carol so many times on VHS as a kid. This is one of my three favorite adaptations of the timeless story. (I won't mention the other two unless they make this list. We'll see...)

Oh, and I'm a bit late on Gremlins. I liked both of the films; they're really great.

I reread this story every year, but this is one of my favorite adaptions of the story and one of my favorite Muppet movies in the process.

DAY 6:

Disney Channel:


Goof Troop- Goof Troop Christmas


The Weekenders- Worst Holiday Ever

I've definitely seen both of these, but this is yet another case where my memory fails me. I need to re-watch both shows in general, but for no, I'm good with re-watching these specials today for the sake of nostalgia.
