How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (so many iconic lines!)
Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown
Frosty the Snowman
Polar Express


Overrated:

Santa Clause is Coming to Town
The Year Without a Santa Clause


Horrible:

The Little Drummer Boy (both comically bad, and just plain ole bad).

Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown
Winner

quote:

Charlie Brown: Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?
Linus Van Pelt: Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about.
[moves toward the center of the stage]
Linus Van Pelt: Lights, please.
[a spotlight shines on Linus]
Linus Van Pelt: "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.'"
[Linus picks up his blanket and walks back towards Charlie Brown]
Linus Van Pelt: That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.

8 Crazy Nights...but only because of Whitey (I know, I'll get raped b/c it's an Adam Sandler movie and technically I guess it's more of a Hanukkah movie than Christmas but whatevs)

Merry Christmas Charlie Brown has heart and a good theme but I never loved it. It is #2 for me.

I always loved the Grinch animated one which is #1 - similar theme and message but more entertaining.

No need to be ashamed to like this one. I think it's hilarious, even if a little crude for the kids. I should put it on the list above.

We always watch Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 during the holidays with the kids. They're on the Christmas rotation.

I like Fantasia better, but of the two, but Fantasia 2000 feels a bit more like Christmas, even though neither is a Christmas movie. Maybe because of the The Steadfast Tin Soldier segment, which has a toy theme.

Every time I call for delivery or whatever it may be, if I start doing the Whitey voice, my fiance loses it.

Nice avi.

Is anywhere one can watch the Disney Halloween Special online? Always loved that when I was a kid.

I thought I'd get that reaction! Those character's greatness notwithstanding, the rest of the story and dialogue is just garbage.
