Love Actually is my favorite…hands down
"Shitter’s full!"That scene is hilarious!
Clark- Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?
"Clark! I don’t want to spend the Holidays dead! "There were so many memorable quotes in that movie!!!
its a wonderful life!
"I couldn’t be more surprised if I woke up tomorrow morning with my head sewn to the carpet."My fiance is a HUGE (we’re talkin’ HUGE) NLCV fan – when I told him about this contest he rushed over to the computer and rattled off the above quote! Fun contest!
The Grinch is my fave!!!
You definitely forgot about Elf! An instant holiday classic!
Oh, the silent majesty of a winter’s morn… the clean, cool chill of the holiday air… an asshole in his bathrobe, emptying a chemical toilet into my sewer…But A Christmas Story is the best movie!
Eddie: You surprised to see us, Clark? Clark: Oh, Eddie… If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am now.

"If that cat had nine lives it sure used them all" –Cousin Eddy :-)
Oh, and I LOVE Claymation Christmas by the way!! My dad still enjoys re-enacting the bells scene every time they play the Carol of the Bells at Christmas mass–drives my mom crazy, every year! :-)
SQUIRRELLLLLLLL!!!! this movie is priceless!
A Christmas Story – YOU’LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT!
My fav. Christmas vacation quote is when Auntie Grace gets there and says "Don’t push me down the stairs Clark." What an awesome movie. I might have to go watch it.
Love Christmas Vacation!! My favorite lines/quote::Clark: Since this is Aunt Bethany’s 80th Christmas, I think she should lead us in the saying of Grace. Aunt Bethany: [turns to Lewis] What, dear? Nora Griswold: Grace! Aunt Bethany: Grace? She passed away thirty years ago. Uncle Lewis: They want you to say Grace. [Bethany shakes her head in confusion] Uncle Lewis: The BLESSING! Aunt Bethany: [they all pose for prayer] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands/ One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Clark: Amen.
"JOY TO THE WORLD!!!!"(When he’s lighting the house)

Ellen – "Clark, Audrey’s frozen from the waist down."Clark – "That’s all part of the experience, honey."Happy Holidays!!!
I love that you are giving this movie away! My fiance’s family is big on movie quotes, and all of their favorites are fresh in my mind after laughing at their antics quoting Christmas Vacation at the dinner table this past Thanksgiving!There are so many good ones, but this one is just so classic and has got to be my favorite line from Clark:"Where do you think you’re going? Nobody’s leaving. Nobody’s walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We’re all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We’re gonna press on, and we’re gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he’s gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse. "
Clark: "Hey kids, I heard on the news that an airline pilot spotted Santa’s sleigh on its way in from New York City."Uncle Eddie: "You serious, Clark?"What a great Christmas movie!!
What about "The Family Stone"? :) I think that’s a great one, too!
Clark: Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I’d like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where’s the Tylenol? Who has ever felt this way about their boss?? Can I get an "amen!"
Clark: Since this is Aunt Bethany’s 80th Christmas, I think she should lead us in the saying of Grace. Aunt Bethany: What dear? Nora: Grace! Aunt Bethany: Grace? Ohhh…She passed away thirty years ago… Uncle Lewis: <straining his face to mouth the words> They want you to say grace…. The BLESS-ING!!! Aunt Bethany: Oh. <everyone at the table folds their hands in prayer and reverently bows their heads> Aunt Bethany: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands – one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Clark: Amen.
