Best Christmas films

[The Soloist]

We just watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Most of my family members like it, including my kid, but I really hate that film. Chevy Chase just comes off like a clueless jerk (honestly, what do his neighbours do to deserve everything he does to them?), the jokes are all dumb, most of the comedy is telegraphed pratfalls while Chase mugs, and it looks like it was shot by an amateur. For me, it's like an anti-Xmas film.

I'm with you. Never understood the Chevy Chase phenomenon.
