The absolute best version of A Christmas Carol and I will not be taking questions or rebuttals on this. XD

My favorite Christmas movie is "It's A Wonderful Life" because I love the message. Looking reflectively and seeing how our actions have impacted others is a wonderful impetus to treating others kindly.

The Bishop's Wife - the 1947 film starring Cary Grant, Loretta Young, and David Niven. Cary is an angel who comes to earth to teach David the true meaning of Christmas. Wonderful acting and wonderful message.

White Christmas. It's an older movie and it's so good. There's no swearing or unnecessary inappropriate stuff like even kids movies seem to all have today.

We watch it every year on Christmas Eve and it still holds up as a great movie. My family can recite all of the lines but it hasn't gotten boring.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Makes me feel all festive, snuggly and warm inside. There's plenty of laughs along the way but in the end, the message is that Christmas is all about that bonus.... I mean family!

Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

My brothers and cousins and I would gather around our t.v. every year and watch them together. It was a wonderful time in our childhood and some of us still watch them with our children. I continue to watch now that mine are grown because they are fun and bring back great memories.

I failed to include why I enjoy this movie. It’s the level of cantankerous sphincter Mr. Scott portrays and ends with such a child-like euphoria on Christmas morning.

BRAZIL (Terry Gilliam) and MIXED NUTS (Steve Martin). BRAZIL about dysfunctional future life, xmas, greed and love. The connecting fantasy sequences in-between modern life will scare you. MIXED NUTS from Steve Martin is incredibly overlooked by even Steve M fans. Venice Beach, sight gags, incredible cast, life and death, strange ending. Treat yourself to these off-beat delights!

In no particular order...

1. A Christmas Carol (the 1951 version with Alastair Sim).

2. A Christmas Story.

3. Miracle On 34th Street (with Edmund Gwenn).

4. Not a movie, but .. How The Grinch Stole Christmas (the real one, not the Jim Carrey farce).

5. Last, but not least .. A Charlie Brown Christmas.

I haven't seen this one mentioned: Holiday Inn. Another classic with Bing Crosby, with the bonus of Fred Astaire. It was made roughly 10 years before White Christmas, and I believe the first movie where he sang the song. They used the same set in both movies. The dancing and singing is fabulous, and they cover every holiday. Some parts didn't age well (black face used), but most did.

Sleepless in Seattle. The famous premise sounds weird, and I avoided seeing it until during a brief visit to Seattle accidentally going to a place with a “Tom Hanks sat here” chair. Sufficiently starstruck by the said chair (and enchanted by the city in general), I watched the film upon return, and it has become one of my favorites ever since. The film is SO sweet, and I absolutely adore Tom Hanks’ character’s wise cracking kid. Those who enjoy “Love Actually” and “The Awful Truth” (1937, no Christmas connection), will enjoy this one, too.

My hubby and I love this movie! In fact, I think it's his favorite, partly because it was filmed in our area. We paddle our kayaks by the famous house boat at least once a year. Yes, it's such a sweet film with a great soundtrack as well. It qualifies not only as a Christmas movie, but a New Year and Valentine day movie as well.

Two that haven't made the list yet:

1. We're No Angels---classic with Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov, Aldo Rey, and Basil Rathbone. Not like anything else and still funny every year. So many great lines. Seriously, go check it out.

2. The Lion in Winter. Another classic with Katharine Hepburn, Peter O'Toole, Anthony Hopkins, Timothy Dalton, and Nigel Terry. Henry II, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and their horrible, conniving children. Absolutely brilliant dialogue.

I really like most Christmas movies besides most Hallmark ones and Its a Wonderful Life.

My 3 favorites though would probably be
1) Die Hard - We've watched it every year since I can remember and some of the bad guys are easy on the eyes. Also not as graphic as the sequels
2) White Christmas - I love singing along and the scene where the guys do the gals' dance routine is perfect
3) Santa Claus 2: The Escape Claus - Jack Frost is my favorite character and it's funny. There's no annoying voices or cliches

I agree about the classics, It's a Wonderful Life, White Christmas, The Christmas Carol (1951), Love Actually, and more. But I'd like to add two more movies not mentioned above:
-- Ebbie - a 1995 Lifetime TV movie version of The Christmas Carol, where Susan Lucci plays Elizabeth (Ebbie Scrooge), the owner of a large department store. She is wonderful in the part!
-- Bells of Saint Mary's - another oldie but goody (1945). Bing Crosby and Ingrid Berman, as a priest and nun at a parochial school, which is danger of being shut down. Great acting, great music, and some laughs. A sentimental journey in glorious black & white!
