What movies are you watching for the holiday?

I've got six days off, and I'm watching alot of movies.

Minority Report (decent, but tried too hard at being Blade Runner)
Rushmore (why didn't anybody make me watch this when it was in the theatre)
Election (ditto)
The Wild Bunch (first Peckinpah movie I've seen, gotta get more)
Double Indemnity (haven't seen it yet, but it's Billy Wilder, gonna be good)
Life is Beautiful (on my Netflix queue for a while, happen to come this week and be the only nice movie out of a group of bitterness)

Although I don't own it, I know that we'll see The Christmas story, since it's only the funniest Christmas movie ever. I like it better than National Lampoons.

I've already seen How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Jim Carrey Version). Very funny. I didn't remember laughing so much the first time I saw it.

Other than that, nothing on the list.

Charlie Brown's Christmas or whatever the title is. Can't remember offhand. Have to watch this every other year. And Scrooged.

I too watch Scrooged and A Charlie Brown Christmas every Christmas Eve, but I've been watching a bunch of Christmas movies / specials over the past month. Home Alone last night.

I ended up renting Undisputed and The Salton Sea today - although not Christmas related, that's what I plan on watching.

Going to see The two towers tomorrow (the 26th). I am just revved up from watching the LOTR 4 disc set recently

I hardly go to the movie theatres since I got my DVD player EXCEPT when it's a big scale epic movie hence TTT.
