Favourite Christmas Movie? Hope everyone's staying safe x

[@kohlratkovich911]

Home Alone 2 is my favourite!!!!!!!! It somehow managed to top the original

[@swikarkalden]

Not necessarily a Christmas Film but I've watched it every Christmas day since I was 16, the 1994 adaptation of Little Women starring Winona Ryder 😂😊

[@dlweiss]

Muppet Christmas Carol! Brilliant from start to end. :)

"these parents are awful. How could they forget their child?" NOBODY TELL HER ABOUT THE SEQUEL!

Also, nobody tell her who makes a cameo in it. (Ugh!)

So apparently Kevin’s dad is a big corporate lawyer and his Mom is a fashion designer, which explains all the mannequins in the house. And how they can afford a 7 bedroom mega house in Chicago. I always thought his dad was a drug dealer or something.

[@mollywantshugs5944]

I didn’t come from a wealthy family, but for whatever reason I just never questioned it. Maybe it was my age when I saw this movie

*"What kind of parents are they?"* As far as family goes, next to Kevin's _uncle,_ they're practically saints.

5:42 "He is definitely way too talented using that gun..." That feels like a "how you can tell someone isn't an American" quote lol. It's a BB gun, made for kids... Wait... Have you seen "A Christmas Story" yet?

A Christmas story is one of the best Christmas movies legit my fave 😌

Right? How talented do you need to be to shoot someone in the crotch with a BB gun from 4 inches away?

[@artsysabs]

@@sandpiperr well she said that when he was shooting the action figures but ik what you mean

[@nose-vm3gu]

For kids??! Wtf, do people there really see this normal? It doesn't matter if it's not real, what reason could you possibly have to give a kid that?

[@kixter490]

I mean I don’t know if this is the reason but remember this movie is pre-9/11 so thats probably why they didn’t have to get through 2 hours worth of airport security 😅

[@dlweiss]

Yep, that's definitely part of it. Airport check-ins went much faster back then.

[@Eidlones]

Yeah, back then you could literally show up at the airport, and 5-10 min later be in your seat (depending on crowds and etc.)

[@tj_2701]

Yep

[@TheAaronChand]

Yeah the movie was made and takes place in 1990 30 years ago pre nine 11

[@m2c_tave689]

Eidlones Early 90's going thru airport security was a breeze. 5 minutes tops. I once got to the airport with 15 minutes to take off time. Security was 3 minutes and they helped me get through. I got on the plane with 5 minutes to spare. Today that's impossible. Thanks Bin Laden.

[@user-ne1tb2cm4d]

The sidestory with the old man and his son is something you don't appreciate as a kid. When younger I loved the booby trap scenes etc but watching this movie now it's so beautiful, that plot has become my favorite.

[@Csaba__]

"Theyre not even wearing seatbelts, that is so dodgy..." Welcome to the pre 2000s where safety wasnt as important (this applies to the flights as well)

[@fs127]

It was just as important back then. It just was personal responsibility and not a governmental revenue source.

[@roryotoole3279]

They're in the back of a moving van there aren't any seats, let alone seatbelts.

[@Hiraghm]

you see all those old people around? They all grew up sitting in the front bench seat of the family car between their parents... and they're old, meaning they're alive. Safety was important; we just considered it more important A) to be competent drivers and not have accidents B) to not rely on the technology rather than... competence, and C) to build cars that didn't turn into a squished trash can at the first sign of a collision.

[@sandpiperr]

@@fs127 Ha! Tell that to my best friend's mom who, in the early 90s, used to drive us around on the highway, in the front seat of her station wagon, with no seatbelts! Oh, and did I mention she was a cop? Of all the people who should have known better... There's a reason seatbelts are mandated by law now and it's not just to collect ticket money. It's because so few people make the right choice on their own, and those who don't have the agency to make their own choices (like me and my best friend were at 6 years old!) can get hurt. And if you're about to say 'well you're alive so I guess it wasn't that bad'...fuck off. I'm alive because I was lucky. Are you really saying it's okay to put whether a 6 year old lives or dies in the hands of luck? If so, fuck off again.

[@sandpiperr]

(I live in Belgium btw for your cultural viewers question btw) I also thought I couldn't fall more in love with this channel and you, but then you made a 'A quiet Place' reference!

Darwinism at its finest. Also, let’s take a moment to appreciate the equally dumb parents who apparently took to drinking laundry detergent so they’d have ‘something to talk to their kids about’. Like, really? Bad enough your brainless brat kids eat the stupid pods full of chemicals for a worthless meme (I hate memes like that anyway)-even dumber for grown adults to deliberately drink chemicals just because they think they have nothing else to chat about. Fucking hell. The fact that this is even a thing we have reason to discuss is deeply embarrassing. Humans truly have a limitless capacity for stupidity.
