Since some were listing Christmas movies in the Biblical films threads, thought this would be fun! My list is very cliche but include the films I watch pretty much every year around Christmas:

-How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the 1966 cartoon by Chuck Jones)
-Die Hard
-The Santa Clause (only the first one, Tim Allen is a boss in this role)
-Frosty the Snowman (cartoon by Rankin/Bass)
-Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (the stop motion film from the 1960s)
-Home Alone 1 and 2
-Elf
-The Polar Express
-Scrooged
-Gremlins


Still need to see:
-Jingle All The Way
-National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

It's fricking October, man. At least wait for Halloween. We'll bump the Home Alone thread at that point.

How is it possible for someone to make a Christmas movie thread and has never seen Christmas Vacation?

Very underrated comedy, that just so happens to be a Christmas movie too. I watch it every year. Hilarious !

Christmas Story, hands down. Wife hates it and we don't have cable, but fortunately I have it on DVD and have to make time for it every year. Always worth it.

White Christmas, which the wife loves. She dances and she can't get enough of this one.




I ordinarily include It's a Wonderful Life, and no doubt it's a classic, but it's really only a Christmas movie by default, the fact that it ends on Christmas. And it's depressing as hell.


Honorable mentions:

-The Santa Clause
-Ernest (RIP) Saves Christmas
-Home Alone
-Miracle on 34th Street (in memory of my mother)
