My favourite part of Christmas is getting together with my family and watching movies.

The thread about the house in A Christmas Story got me thinking about classic Christmas movies. I figured I'd start a thread on Christmas movies. I used the [broken!] search function and could not find a similar discussion.

What are they? Have any you can add to this list?

Original Classics:
-It's a Wonderful Life
-Miracle on 34th Street
-White Christmas
-A Christmas Carol
-A Christmas Story

1980s Classics (great comedic value):
-Scrooged
-National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (definitely my personal favourite of the lot!)
-Ernest Saves Christmas

Misc (crap and mishmash)
-Elf
-The Santa Clause
-The Grinch
-Home Alone

What else is out there?

No one mentioned "A Charlie Brown Christmas"? for shame. It has the greatest dance scene evar! yea yea..not really a movie but who cares.


Santa Claus: The Movie is an 80's x-mas flick (stars Dudley Moore and John Lithgow).
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (animated and live action)
Gremlins ..well..it takes place during christmas!

I always think of "Gremlins" when I think of Christmas movies.

I would also consider Home Alone a classic, not crap...

One Magic Christmas
A Christmas memory (by Truman Capote)
The Homecoming: A Christmas Story (with Patricia Neal)

Also some good tv versions on A wonderful life and Scrooge: (if you can find them)
Ms. Scrooge (with Cicely Tyson)
It Happened One Christmas (with marlo Thomas)

THen there was the SNL satire on a wonderful life where they find out Mr Potter took George Bailey's money, and beat Mr Potter to death with bats. (but thats not a movie)
