Have you seen the Christmas Vacation?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Favorite Christmas Movie by generation (according to me):

Silent Gen - Miracle on 34th Street
Boomers - It's a Wonderful Life
Jones/Elder Gen-X - A Christmas Story
Gen-X/Xennials - Christmas Vacation
Millennial - Elf
All of the above - Die Hard

I would like to submit Better Off Dead for consideration for Gen X

EDIT: It certainly is in the "Most Quotable Movie by generation" category.

I'd like to subscribe to your lists. Top by generation seems like a unique idea to me.

Kind of similar to those "Pages of Time refrigerator magnets" people have sometimes.

Millenial here! No one agrees with me but my favorite Xmas movie is "The Ref"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Mine is "Bad Santa". What gen am I?

I've seen at least one national lampoon's vacation but I have no idea which one it was. I think I've probably seen Spies like us the most if that dates me.

It doesn't date you as much as it confirms that you are a person of class and exceptionally good taste.

In retrospect, the womanizing is a bit cringe-worthy and over the top, the rest holds up well.

Hard to avoid in movies, especially of that time.

Oh, I agree, it wasn't much worse than average for the time, pretty typical for a movie targeted towards men. And still better than the first 15 minutes of Sausage Party.
