    I know what the answer is before I post the question, but, this usually becomes a debate in my household. What kind of movie is Nightmare Before Christmas? Is it a Halloween movie, a Christmas movie, or both? The reason I bring this up is that my wife insists that it's a movie to be viewed during the Halloween season, I, on the other hand, feel that it can be viewed during either holiday (or, in my case, I can watch NBC any time of the year!).

    Anyway, I just wanted to get your thoughts and opinions of what time of the year that you might prefer watching this Tim Burton masterpiece...

I think if I could only pick one holiday to watch it, I would go for Thanksgiving, as it is a nice middle ground between the two.

    It's a Tim Burton movie. Which are typically difficult to categorize.

    And precisely why they rock.
