Everyone has their all-time holiday movie but this is the strangest list of Illinois' favorite Christmas films that I've ever seen.

Illinois' Favorite Anti-Christmas Movies Of All-Time

One of the many things my family looks forward to over the holidays is watching our favorite Christmas movies. There are so many good ones but the top picks are "A Christmas Story," "Christmas Vacation," and "Elf" to just mention a couple. We gravitate to comedies. You can't beat a good laugh when escaping from reality.

It's funny how favorite Christmas movie lists can be very controversial. Some fans love the Hallmark ones. Those are way too cheesy for me. Of course, you've got the flicks like "Die Hard" which is now considered by many a holiday film while others say no way.

Some Illinois residents think there are Christmas movies that are annoying and way overplayed. Those holiday films include "Home Alone," "It's A Wonderful Life," and "The Polar Express." I can see their point.

I'm always looking for new funny Christmas movies to add to my traditional watching rotation. Unfortunately, they're really hard to find because of the cheesy factor. I was hoping for "Dead Santa" but it definitely didn't make the cut.

Some movie fans in Illinois don't enjoy the traditional holiday movies. They much prefer anti-Christmas movies. I found a list of the most popular ones in Illinois. How many do you like?
