No. 46 - Spider-Man (2002)
This movie took forever to get made and it was worth the wait. Spider-Man is my favorite comic book character of all time and Sam Raimi did him justice. Couldn’t they have made the Green Goblin’s costume better though?
No. 45 - Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)
A great comedy with the late, great John Candy. So many quotable lines - “You’re going the wrong way!” Classic.

No. 44 - Star Wars Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi (1983)
The last great (or good) Star Wars flick and third-best film in the franchise. I remember seeing this for the first time, do you?

OK, so I don’t have that many favorite “Christmas movies.” My solution? Create a list with my favorite Christmas movies and some flicks that aren’t “Christmas movies” but take place during the holiday season. Here it is:
10. Home Alone (1990)
Come on. You know you like this flick.
9. Bad Santa (2003)
Is he ever.
8. Trading Places (1983)
Wow. Think you are having a bad holiday season? It can’t be as bad as Dan Aykroyd’s character’s in this flick. No trailer, but a hilarious scene (language alert!)
7. Batman Returns (1992)
Even superheroes celebrate the holidays.
6. Die Hard (1988)
Christmas Eve trapped with violent criminals in a skyscraper. Sounds like fun.
5. Lethal Weapon (1987)
One of the greatest action movies of all time opens with Jingle Bell Rock and ends on Christmas.
4. Elf (2003)
“I just like to smile. Smiling’s my favorite!” I love this flick.
3. A Christmas Story (1983)
This flick is on TV so often during the holiday season that you really don’t have an excuse if you don’t catch at least a little bit of it. Classic.
2. Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)
Ever have a trip this bad? I Couldn’t find the trailer, but here is a great scene.
1. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989)
My favorite Christmas movie and one of my favorite comedies of all time. A must see.
