What are you traditional Christmas movies?

[mufflerman]

What movies do you guys watch every year for Christmas?

I always watch Christmas Vacation, of course. Last night we watched Die Hard. Sounds weird, but watch it! It's a great alternative to the standard Christmas movie. And on Christmas Eve I always watch Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (1951 version).

Christmas Vacation is No. 1, follow closely by A Christmas Story.

Christmas Vacation, and I watch as much of the Marathon on Christmas eve of Christmas Story as I can get away with. Usually I will watch 1/4 of the movie about 4 times because i'm drifting in and out of consciousness laying on the couch being a bum.

 

[sonuvabum]

Most of the ones listed above, but especially "A Christmas Carol" with George C. Scott.

Everyone always forgets that Gremlins was a great Christmas movie!

Ditto. However, we DVRed Shrek the Halls last year, and the kids have been watching it for weeks now....

I like all of the classic Christmas Stories.
When I was young, the most anticipated movie for me was "March of the Wooden Soldiers" (Babes in Toyland).
If I could pick just one this year, this would be it.
I haven't seen it in probably 35-40 years, and I would certainly love to watch it with my family.
