I like those, but my favorite is Holiday Inn

[Rollie]

Christmas Vacation.

[Kahuna32162]

Die Hard

[tophcfa]

On the happy side it’s “A Wonderful Life”, on the twisted side it’s “Bad Santa” with Billie Bob Thornton. But nothing beats the original half hour cartoon version of “The Grinch”.

[JohnN]

Borrowed Hearts is a more current Christmas movie that's heartwarming (though I liked Bad Santa too!)

After the film noir movie and talk at 12 am on TCM this Saturday night( Kiss ofDeath ) there is a noir which isn’t actually a Christmas movie but has a Christmas theme it’s called lady in the lake with Robert Montgomery as Phillip Marlowe it’s well worth watching

[John_W]

A Christmas Story will be airing a few times this week on TNT and TBS.

Lady in the Lake is coming on Sunday Dec 20 at 2am on TCM, I just looked it up. I also remember seeing the film and on IMDB I have given it a 7, that's a decent rating and worth seeing.

I always liked Lloyd Nolan. Appearing in an episode of Murder She Wrote in 1984, he didn't reveal during filming he had terminal cancer. He died six weeks before the show aired.

Audrey Totter the female lead in Lady in the Lake, turned down the role of Old Rose in Titantic in 1997, she said she wanted to remain retired. She lived to 2013 age of 95.

[jjp2532]

A Christmas Carol with Alistair Simm

[jbrown132]

Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Carol with the Muppets., Polar Express, and A Christmas Story. On the darker side Bad Santa.

[Fredman]

Christmas Vacation. What a hoot

[dtennent]

This is a hard one as we must have over twenty Christmas movies However, a few rise to the top..

Jim Carey in The Grinch
White Christmas
Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase
Die Hard Movies (though the only heart warming part of these movies is seeing the bad guys die in a spectacular form)
Love Actually - This is a great movie anytime during the year.

We're saving Love Actually for Christmas Eve this year. New one on Netflix this year called Jingle Jangle was very cute.

[Heyitsrick]

I'll agree with several mentioned already (Die Hard, White Christmas, Love Actually, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th St w/Natalie Wood) and will add a couple of others:

Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol - a great rendition of this story that kids would like.

The Family Stone

[GaryKoca]

I tend to prefer the classic films. Here are some of my favorites:

Christmas in Connecticut - with Barbara Stanwcyk - a real treat!
White Christmas
Miracle on 34th Street - the Maureen O'Hara version
Christmas Story
Love Actually - a more modern one
A Christmas Carol - the one with Alistair Sim

And a couple of under the radar ones:
Holiday Affair with Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh
Remember the Night with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray
It Happened on Fifth Avenue

I love Lady in the Lake, but it is hardly a Christmas film.

[brandtl]

Meet Me in St. Louis. My favorite Christmas song is sung (beautifully!) by Judy Garland, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". Since it moves through every season, it's a great one any time of the year

[wmcgowan]

As I sit here watching the movie White Christmas I am curious what your favorite Christmas movie is?

best quote ever:
there will be a more practical expression of our gratitude in your next paycheck

[Troopie]

My all-time favorite is "It's a Wonderful Life," but my second choice is definitely "Scrooged" with Bill Murray!

[Rosie1950]

Christmas Chronicles and Christmas Chronicles II

[walterray1]

The Gathering is an excellent movie and an all time favorite of mine. It actually starred Ed Asner (not Lou) and Maureen Stapleton. Not as well known as most of the other movies mentioned.

[GPGuar]

"Bells of St. Mary's," "Miracle On 34th St." "A Christmas Carol" (starring Alastair Simm).

I was waiting for someone to mention A Christmas Carol with Alastair SIMM.... THE BEST!!

[Lauranne]

I like those, but my favorite is Holiday Inn
My favorite too JohnN.

[Nanny32162]

It’s a Wonderful Life.

Die Hard !

Quick comment - what not to watch.

The "White Christmas" episode of the series Black Mirror on Netflix.

It is a horror episode, very disturbing. Takes place at Christmas. One of the most horrible, worrying, nightmare producing things I have seen. The series is about tech distopia (mainly). Not all episodes are disturbing, most merely about interesting aspects of "tech-problems", but this episode was tied (with an episode called Black Museum) for the most disturbing episode, in my opinion. I think it is sad they gave people hope of something interesting to watch at Christmas.

[NavyVet]

I have 3 favorites because I can't pick just one: Christmas Vacation, Elf, and Home Alone.
Just saw these 2 for the first time this month and both were very good: Christmas Chronicles 2 with Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn and The Grinch (animated) voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch. I also love the Hallmark channel Christmas movies.
The only way to see Charlie Brown Christmas this year is on Apple TV. We have had no luck downloading the Apple TV app to our Sony smart TV, not compatible or something. What a bummer!

You probably need to buy an Apple TV which you can then set up as an aux device on your Sony.

[Betty Wagner]

Definitely White Christmas, then Miracle on 34th Street. Let's see: It's A Wonderful Life,
some Hallmark movies: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year with Henry Winkler, Christmas Dance, The Red Shoes.

[Dorebea]

One of my top Christmas movie favorites is Family Man with Nicholas Cage and Tea Leoni. Funny, heartwarming, an all around good movie. I choose us!

[curtmcgee]

Laurel & Hardy's "March of the Wooden Soldiers"

[tophcfa]

Not to change the direction of the thread, but as I previously posted the original half hour cartoon version of the grinch is my all time favorite. Last night I watched a brand new version of the grinch and it was absolutely the worst Christmas show ever. Exactly what will the young generation not ruin with their unrelenting pursuit of political correctness? The theme of the show was all about diversity and inclusiveness, focusing on the need to accept the grinch even though he is green, furry, ugly, and grouchy. The poor grinch was bullied and had to live a life of solitude on Mt. Crumpit because he wasn’t accepted by intolerant people. Give me an f’in break, really. As I recall from the original version of the show, the grinches heart grew three sizes and he was welcomed by The Who’s to carve the roast beaf during their Christmas dinner? Where will it end? Sorry for my rant, but some things just don’t need to be changed!

Christmas Vacation

[Bilyclub]

Wow, only one vote for Scrooged. The first 2 Die Hards. Most of the A Christmas Carols. The Sweaty Balls SNL skit. Its a Wonderful Life at least once.

[FriscoKid]

Die Hard!

[nikicollazo]

The nightmare before Christmas

[JanetMM]

I can’t believe I am the only one to mention ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE. C’mon, really?

[frank1975]

Christmas Carol 1938, Christmas Vacation, Christmas With The Kranks

[frank1975]

What????

[Northstar]

Laurel & Hardy's "March of the Wooden Soldiers"

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[bimmertl]

"Bad Santa" with Billy Bob Thornton.

[NancyLee]

Daddy's Home 2 is the funniest. Wait until the end. It is awesome.

[Garywt]

On Christmas Eve my wife and I watched Its a Wonderful Life which is our favorite. Of course our tv has been set to the Hallmark channels since before Halloween.
