Yeah its a little late for this, but in case you haven't figured out what movies to rent or download or whatever, I thought I'd share some of my favorites, with some obvious and not so obvious ones. Whats on your list? Extra cretit for the less obvious ones!
Mine in no particular order:
1) It's a Wonderful Life - Yeah its about 60 years old and kind of corny, but I still enjoy this and cant help watching it evry time it comes on every year.
2) Joyeaux Noel - Means "Merry Christmas" in French. This is based on a true incedent during World War One. In the trenches, a Scottish and a French regimen were on the allied side, and the Germens on the other, and a spontaneous truce just kind of happened over Christmas...both sides just set their weapons aside for two days, got out of the trenches and celebrated Christmas together. This movie is reaaaly good and really moving. I think it might be my favorite.
3) Bad Santa - Enough said!
4) Millions - a Danny Boyle film, about a kid who finds a bag of money, and part of it takes place during Christmas. Its got a really good theme about materialism and whats imporant in life, always good this time of year.
I do not see a Christmas story on that list.
It can't be christmas until you've watched that movie.

While not an xmas movie this creeps up on any channel station during this time of year. Good for the kids who havent seen as well as adults
One movie that has eluded my viewing all these years is 'It's a Wonderful Life'.
I also gota ad the First Santa Clause movie with Tim allen good movie didnt see the rest but they looked like they went down hill from the first.
Hmm,
Home Alone 1 and 2.
A Muppet Christmas Carol.
A Christmas Story. You got to love this movie. It's a classic tradition. Woot @ the tbs 24 hour marathon!
Elf - So funny and yet cute at the same time!
Scrogged - Unique and funny no doubt
Christmas Story - Nuff' said
Polar Express - Although new, I fell in love with this one
Trading Places - Always cracks me up
Die Hard - While not a christmas movie, it takes place on Christmas Eve so that works for me
^^This!!
Also:
Miracle on 34th Street (Richard Attenborough version)
It's possibly my guiltiest pleasure, but what the hell, it's Christmas.
Oh, and A Muppet's Christmas Carol. Most excellent film.
Its A Wonderful Life - wouldn't be christmas without it
Wizard Of Oz - I've seen this every year at christmas its like a religion.
Elf - Brilliant and that Elf outfit is cute >.< (you smell like beef and cheese)
And then you get your classic films like Ben Hur, its always on at christmas or just after.
