Terrific

There are a few cheezy ones out there, but for the most part, they're terrific in my book.

It really depends on what you watch, doesn't it? There are plenty of stupidly cheesy Christmas movies out there just as their are some really terrific ones. Watching some are a kind of tradition as well. I am really picky about which ones I will watch.

Too Cheesy

So far, I've not seen anything this year I wanted to spend more than 10 minutes on. "It's a Wonderful Life"? Re-re-re-run, and not all that great except as an emotionally manipulative piece designed to suck in the weak minded. I'd almost watch "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" (with Boris Karloff's wonderful narration), except that... re-re-re-run. Others? Bah humbug. I'll just stick with my 12 hour+ (and still growing) playlist of Christmas music. All of it's worth listening to over and over.

I don't know about "holiday flicks," but I like CHRISTMAS movies. (Why not call them "Christmas movies?" It's not like there's a plethora of Chanukkah or Kwanza movies out there. I can think of one Channukkah movie and that's 8 Crazy Nights.)

I love watching them and they aren't all cheesy. I've seen two different houses near mine with leg lamps in the window (A Christmas Story), it's great.

If Christmas Story is cheesy then we need Cheesy. Those that don't care for it do not have to watch it or share it with their kids. It is a time gone by but still relates to young kids today I believe.

You know what is cheesy? SodaHead always trying to make each of the options alliterative.

So sad, SodaHead.

Terrifically cheesy, but that's kind of the point. They're feel-good movies.

What some people call "cheesy" is part of the whole point of holiday flicks; to show a better reality than the one we actually have.
