What are you favorite Christmas Movies?
To start , mine are Hogfather and Die Hard.

A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation

A Christmas Story, It's A Wonderful Life, A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Charlie Brown Christmas - I highly recommend the soundtrack for the jazz lovers out there as well:

Vince Guaraldi Trio - http://www.amazon.com/Charlie-Brown-Christmas-Recording-Television/dp/B000000XDJ

Mallrats

In all seriousness the only christmas movie that didn't make me throw up was The Little Drummer Boy http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063230/

Oh come on now. There are others. What about the Nightmare Before Christmas? A Muppet Christmas Carol?

That futurama christmas episode is pretty good...

Bad Santa

Gremlins

A Christma Story and Elf. I'll watch It's a Wonderful Life when its on, too. Never felt anything for a Miracle on 34th St.

Is that the one where a robotic Santa shoots people? I liked it!

Also, 3 movie adaptations of A Christmas Carol:
A Christmas Carol (1984 TV movie) with George C. Scott, and Edward Woodward in an amazing performance as The Ghost of Christmas Present
Scrooge (1970 Musical) with Albert Finney
A Christmas Carol (1951 film) with Alastair Sim

Sound of Music.

There I said it and I am NOT ashamed

(Although not typically a traditional Christmas movie it is rebroadcast every year between Christmas day and New Years day)

My top 3
Elf
Christmas Vacation
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Jim Carey one)

Absolute heresy. If Boris Karloff isn't narrating it ain't the Grinch. That said:

Original Grinch. Having a low bass singing voice I simply love singing along with Boris Karloff.
Charlie Brown Christmas. I'm amazed it's still shown given the overt Christianity of Linus' speech.
A Christmas Story. I'll never get tired of Ralphie, a Major Award, and the lug nuts.

The Star Wars Christmas TV Special

Have a DVD copy. Watched it once and retired the DVD into the back files. While it's nice to have a copy just to tweak Lucas, it's still unwatchable.

As a kid I always liked whichever one it is that had Heat Miser and Snow Miser. But other than watching A Christmas Story at a dinner theater a few years ago (seriously, and they gave away a leg-lamp as a door prize, which I did not win) I haven't seen a Christmas movie in years.

If you don't have it on VHS, you don't really have it. (With the title written in marker on a piece of tape)
