Its a wonderful life!

Scrooge with Alistair Sim is the best Christmas film ever.

This list would not be complete without the most classic one of all: "A Christmas Carol"! Its message of charity, hope and that it's never too late to change, is universal no matter what your religious beliefs are.
Also, where is "Miracle on 34th Street"? These two should replace "Die Hard" which isn't even about Christmas at all. It's just an action movie which happens to take place during the holidays.
For some laughs, the list is missing "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" with Chevy Chase.

OK, Linda, you have been heard! We were trying to keep the list short, but you make a good point. Those were two on the original list – so we added them back. And "Die Hard" may not be a traditional Christmas movie, but it's gained quite a Christmas Day following among those who prefer it to the mainstays. Vote away!

I like all the Christmas Carol/Scrooge movies; but I really appreciate the modern twist Bill Murray gave this Christmas classic in "Scrooged".

Chevy Chase's "A Christmas Vacation."

While the Grinch who stole Christmas, the animated version is an American Classic ... the Jim Carrey version has become a pretty regular tradition in our family.

Chevy Chase "Christmas Vacation"

"Christmas Vacation" is a must-see.

Polar Express

National Lampoons * Christmas Vacation *

The Nativy Story (2006)....it makes you think about the real meaning of Christmas. Wonderful movie!

I have to have me some White Christmas! It's a classic.

White Christmas with Bing Crosby

Definitely It's a wonderful life, followed by White Christmas! 2 movies I cannot live without each season:)

My favorite movie to watch during the holidays is "Love, Actually". I love the interweaving stories. Colin Firth proposing in Portuguese is wonderful, and Hugh Grant as the Prime Minister is a stitch!

It's a Wonderful life.
White Christmas

Christmas Vacation and Scrooged with Bill Murray is awesome!

OMG ELF! Hands down!

I know I am aging myself but I like "come to the stable" with Loretta Young.

I voted Christmas Story, but right up there is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation... and Rudolph.

Elf will always have a special place in my heart. Saw it on the first date I ever went on with my wife. I still love to watch it. Hilarious!

My votes are for "Meet in St. Louis" and "It's a Wonderful Life." I watch both year round :)

Sad to see that A Charlie Brown Christmas isn't on the list because it's definitely my favorite. The music from the movie has been my soundtrack to the holidays my entire life.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Hilarious!

Classic - White Christmas. My sisters and I watch it every year and can break into song with "Sisters" at a moments notice!
Current - "Love, Actually". The music, the storyline, the actors, everything works!
Funny- Scrooged. Bill Murray is a riot! Great take on a classic.

White Christmas, Holiday Inn and Christmas in Connecticut. The music and the stories they tell are wonderful.

Carlie Browns Christmas

Polar Express. Best. Christmas. Movie. Ever. Add bonus that is was from a book written by a Michigan native. If you aren't tapping toes during the hot chocolate scene, then you have no pulse. Seriously. "Hot-hot-hot ... choc-o-lat"

I have to go with Christmas Vacation as my all-time favorite, but A Christmas Story is a very close second. I have also always been fond of anything animated and one of my most beloved memories involves a claymation Christmas special that used to run on network television every season in which two dinosaurs debate the meaning of the word "wassail". I found it on DVD with my favorite claymation Easter and Halloween specials and now we watch it with my son every year!

"Scrooged" with Bill Murray is pretty good -- especially like when the Ghost of Christmas Present hits Murray with a toaster.

"The Nightmare Before Christmas"

It's A Wondeful Life!! It is playing at the historic Redford Theater this weekend, They have a pipe organ concert half hour before all three shows.

bah, humbug...thumbs up for Scrooge!

Two favorites, "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" and "White Christmas" with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye

The Nightmare Before Christmas. But, that's my favorite movie, period lol

I love 'em all, especially "It's a Wonderful Life," "A Muppet Christmas Carol" and "A Christmas Story." But my absolute favorite is "A Charlie Brown Christmas." In fact, the Peanuts theme song always makes think of Christmas.

Although all of the above are great favorites, the one that I always try to fit in the mix is "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" to break things up.
