What about the many versions of “A Christmas Carol” from 1938 on, including variations like Scrooged. Which one is your favorite?
1951...with Alastair Sim.

70 percent. Meet Me In St. Louis was a New Year’s Eve tradition at our house when my daughter was young — a lovely movie that unfolds over the course of a year and highlights every season.

I don't think that many of these films are overrated. Most are classics!

60% I like "Die Hard" (#7), but I never thought of it as a lovable, jolly movie. I thought Alan Rickman was great playing Hans Gruber.

I got the same score. 🎅🎄
70% similar... which, of course, is meaningless because tastes in movies are personal...
Can you believe how they spelled 7? And are we sure they didn't mean Dirty Hary? Die Hary sounds like it's about the last days of Robin Williams...LOL!
Considering Robin WIlliams' tragic death, I'm afraid I can't add another laugh to that comment...sorry...

Truth be told I could never stand A Christmas Story. I saw it during a junior high school field trip. The script sounded like it was written by a Playboy staff writer and I couldn't stand the "Oh, fudge!" and subsequent Lifebuoy soap scenes. I liked Peter Billingsley a lot better as Messy Marvin on those Hershey's Syrup commercials.
Mayhap you were making a joke, but for anyone who didn't know, some 20-25 of author Jean Shepherd's short stories appeared in Playboy magazine.
TRUE! A Christmas Story was not in Playboy, it was a separate story! Fun Fact: Billingsley just appeared in a Wayfair Christmas commercial! Hint: Kelly Clarkson's reaction to his present was "What the FUDGE?"...LOL!
He still has the cowboy outfit and the bunny suit

My two outliers were
#1 - "Meet Me In St. Louis" - I've never actually seen it, so it has to be overrated, right?
#7 - "Die Hard" - What can I say but, "Yipee Kayay, Moth..."

Actually, you can't say it on this board...LOL!
Meet me in St. Louis is a fun musical starring Judy Garland. Here's a synopsis from Wikipedia:
"Meet Me in St. Louis is a 1944 American Christmas musical film made by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Divided into a series of seasonal vignettes, starting with Summer 1903, it relates the story of a year in the life of the Smith family in St. Louis leading up to the opening of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (most commonly referred to as the World's Fair) in the spring of 1904. The film stars Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien, Mary Astor, Lucille Bremer, Tom Drake, Leon Ames, Marjorie Main, June Lockhart and Joan Carroll. The film was adapted by Irving Brecher and Fred F. Finklehoffe from a series of short stories by Sally Benson originally published in The New Yorker magazine called "The Kensington Stories" and later in novel form as Meet Me in St. Louis. The film was directed by Vincente Minnelli, who met Garland on the set and later married her. Tony Award-winning designer Lemuel Ayers served as the film's art director.
Upon its release, Meet Me in St. Louis was both a critical and a commercial success. It became the second-highest-grossing film of 1944, behind only Going My Way, and was also MGM's most successful musical of the 1940s. In 1994, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
Garland debuted the standards "The Trolley Song", "The Boy Next Door" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", all written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane for the film, and all of which became hits after the film was released. The film's producer Arthur Freed also wrote and performed one of the songs."

80 percent similar. I just cannot watch any movie that has Will Ferrell in it The only one worse is Adam Sandler.
Two of my least favorites as well. But I do recall seeing ONE thing that Will Ferrell did that I thought was just hilarious. He did an imitation of James Lipton, host of the series "Inside the Actor's Studio", but he did it *interviewing" James Lipton.
Likewise. Never thought he was amusing in the least.
And since this is the season, let's not forget Ferrell's impersonation of David Bowie opposite John C. Reilly as Bing Crosby! That's a holiday classic!
90%. # 7 must be typo.
No, it's just the typical MeTV board stupidity...LOL!
Great score!
