What Are Your Favorite Christmas Movies?

[nosweargamer]

Ok, I already asked about TV specials last time, so with a week to go what are your favorite Christmas movies?

Also, are there any movies that you watch this time each year, even if they aren't Christmas related?

 

Some of my favs include:

 

It's a Wonderful Life (I watch bits and pieces of it almost every year)

A Christmas Story (If I had TBS, I would see it almost every year)

Scrooged

The Muppet Christmas Carol 

Home Alone

 

Toaster Time!

I'll watch any version of "A Christmas Carol".  The joyful turnaround at the end (spoiler alert!) is always worth watching in my opinion.  For example, last night I was flipping through the channels and the Patrick Stewart version was on.  Yes, I stayed until the end.

 

Your list is good, but I'd add:

Christmas Vacation

Elf

Jack Frost, Annabelle's Wish, Twice Upon A Christmas, Miracle On 34th Street (original), Prancer, Santa Clause (Tim Allen), Muppet Christmas Carol.  There's more but those are at the top of my list.

My favorite list includes:
1.  Miracle on 34th St.  (original b/w)
2. White Christmas (anything Bing, baby)
3.  Christmas Story

4.  The Nativity Story (2006) one of the best produced movies about the pure nativity story.
5.  Gremlins (that's my odd pick every year...I think it beats Home Alone for best non-Christmas, Christmas movie)

 

Strange fact:
I can't get into It's  Wonderful Life.   That's my brother's favorite, and it just doesn't put me in a Christmas mood at all.  To each his/her own.

My "odd pick" is Die Hard.  But Gremlins is a good choice too --  hadn't thought of that!

Oh...I forgot Emmitt Otter's Jug Band Christmas!  How could I forget that?!?
