Team Ugly believes that tradition is what makes the holiday season the best time of year, and we think one of the best traditions is watching our favorite holiday movie.
To us, 'tis the season once we've enjoyed the following classics:
By the way, what are your favorite holiday movies?
Brian's pick:"A Christmas Story"
Why "A Christmas Story"?
I love this movie for a number of reasons and can relate to Ralphie on a few levels:
I am from Northwest Indiana, which is where the movie takes place, and just like Ralphie yearned for a red rider BB gun with a compass in the stock and a thing that tells time, I yearned for a Bears pullover Starter jacket. As we all know - Ralphie got his gun, but I never got my Bears jacket :( . Then again, I avoided shooting my eye out, so we're even.
Adam's pick:"Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"
Why "Rudolph"?
Rudolph is an inspiring tale that lets everybody know that no matter how many times you get left out or get made fun of, you can still end up being awesome.
Kevin's pick:"Die Hard"
Why "Die Hard"?
While "Die Hard" is not your traditional Christmas movie, I'd like to point out that if it wasn't for Christmas officer John McClain would not have been at Nakatomi Plaza on that fateful night. Also, there is something about watching Bruce Willis shoot bad guys in the face and blowing stuff up that makes standing in the long lines at the mall much easier.
There you have it folks, these are our favorite holiday movies, let us know what yours are!
