Die Hard. I never have thought of it as a Christmas movie, but you're right. Classic.

Christmas Vacation is by far the best. I also love Jingle all the Way. As much as I have to admit it I still love watching Rudolph. Nostalgia I guess.

Between my wife and me, in no particular order:

1. A Christmas Story
2. Christmas Vacation
3. Mickey's Christmas Carol
4. Charlie Brown Christmas
5. Die Hard
6. Rocky IV
7. Gremlins
8. When Harry Met Sally
9. Love, Actually
10. The Family Man
11. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas
12. Elf (Though I usually refuse to watch this one with her.)


At first, I didn't think I would have 10 to list. However, thinking about movies she or I usually make a point to watch around the holidays because they're set around the holidays and/or are always showing around the holidays actually made it pretty easy to come up with more than 10.

I agree with your sentiments regarding A Christmas Carol.

Strange as it may sound, I also like A Muppet Christmas Carol, starring Michael Caine.

1. A Christmas Story
2. How the Grinch Stole Christmas
3. A Charlie Brown Christmas
4. A Christmas Carol (George C. Scott version)

2-3 might not be considered movies, but they're too good to leave out. Others are in no particular order.

- Bad Santa
- Elf

Gremlins and Die Hard, but I don't really consider them "Christmas" movies, although Home Alone I probably do.
