AND...your favorite Christmas Special?

[80stheman]

I grew up with the Grinch, Rudolph and Charlie Brown Specials. I'd rank Rudy and Chuck #2 and 3, with #1 (and no one else has voted for it yet) being the Grinch, narrated by the inimitable Boris Karloff.

That seals it, there is ABSOLUTELY NO reading comprehension test for mods.

Movies do not equal TV SPECIALS.

Please see the Christmas MOVIE thread to find Die Hard.

Well, it's a known fact that to become a mod, you have to have your sense of humor and your soul surgically removed.

A lesser known side effect is loss of reading comprehension. C'est la vie.

Damn, I wish I hadnt voted already. :doh:

I sooooooooo woulda voted SWHS just to call your bluff.


I will do this though. CPs for anyone that votes for the Star Wars Holiday Special just to spite JetGrinch74!

Don't let your CP greed get the better of you people. :nono: I'm a man of my word. :hammer:

Jake was just lucky enough to ask me to change it.

I voted for Rudolph however Charlie Brown, Frosty and the Grinch are all favorites. Classic specials that have stood the test of time.

Happy Holidays Everyone! :wave:

It is SPECIAL, but not A special.

Them one room Wyoming schoolhouses ain't getting the job done....

Jet brings up a valid point, but I do agree with you. All those other specials have random times that they come on each year, and will interrupt a regularly schedule program that was predeterminded up until about a few months prior, thus making it a special. A Christmas Story is locked on TBS for those 24 hours until the earth explodes, so I would consider it's marathon an traditional event.

This debate needs to end.

Was A Christmas Story made as a movie or a made-for-TV special?

It was made as a movie.

So it is a movie.

It may be an event movie now, but it is still a movie.

Star Wars: A New Hope is a movie. Even when Spike has the Star Wars weekends. Star Wars does not become a special just because Spike plays it all weekend.

The Star Wars Holiday Special is a special.

A Christmas Story is, was, and will always be a movie even if they play it on TV.

:doh:

A Christmas Story is a movie, yes, but it's also a Christmas Special. It belongs in both categories, n00b.

People, people! Let's not forget the spirit of the season, peace on earth and good will toward men, and all that jazz.



And BTW, Smashie's right, A Christmas Story is a movie, not a special. End of story.

Rudolph, The Polar Express and It's a Wonderful Life are all on right now at the same time.

I saw The Polar Express in the theatres in IMAX 3D. Kind of hard to watch it regular now.
