I realized A Christmas Story is my favorite when it was on for 24 continuous hours and I ended up watching it more than once.

I'd go with A Christmas Carol, the Alastair Sim version.

A Christmas Carol and A Christmas Story are about Christmas.

It's a Wonderful Life is not a Christmas movie but a Christmas Carol type ending and therefore got shown for free on TV constantly during Christmas.

But just like Trick 'R Treat is a pure Halloween movie, A Christmas Story, A Christmas Carol and Christmas Vacation are about the good-tidings of Christmas.

1. Christmas Vacation
2. A Christmas Story
3. Home Alone
4. Elf
5. Love Actually

I don't have extreme reverence for Love Actually but my fiancée does (her #1), and I appreciate it enough to list it.

I'm admittedly not well versed on the old classics, they have never really been part of my tradition. Don't take It's A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th, etc. not being listed as a slight to them.

Am I the only one who absolutely hates that movie? With a passion? Hate it. Absolutely hate it.

I've never seen it and have no desire to change that.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas (Dr. Seuss Animation version) is probably right behind.
