Must Watch Christmas Movies

[ginolicious]

I figured I would post this, start some conversation. What are your must watch Christmas movies?

I am a family man clearly, and these are my 5 must watch and then I have a very special 6th.

No particular order:

- Home Alone 2 - I have a thing for NYC and central park in the winter.
- Jingle All the Way
- Christmas Vacation National Lampoons
- Bad Santa
- A Christmas Story

My final, that 6th I was talking about, Die Hard.

Hi,
This is all about French movies for me :
-les bronzés font du ski
-le père Noël est une ordure

i’m not aware of an english version of these but english subtitles must do the trick

ELF is a modern classic I go to. OG Home alone is an old favorite. If I really want to go back to my youth the claymation version of Rudolf the RedNose Reindeer is a great memory.

In addition to the ones already mentioned here, I'll add :

Any of the "A Christmas Carol"s, particularly the 1938 version with Reginald Owen.
The Man Who Came to Dinner
The Bishop's Wife
The Year Without a Santa Claus (Heat and Snow Miser)
Miracle on 34th Street

and although it has been a few years, how can you not add It's A Wonderful Life

Oh yes. I forgot A Christmas Carol. I go for the 84’ version.

The 1984 version has the best Ghost of Jacob Marley. Hands down.

You do have to love old movies. The ice skating scene was always magical to me.

March of the Wooden Soldiers.

March of the Wooden Soldiers.

I grew up right outside NYC...waited every Christmas for WPIX to show March of The Wooden Soldiers. Loved it as a kid along with my love of Laurel and Hardy, also.

A true lifetime ago...
