"It's a Wonderful Life" is by far my favorite Christmas movie. What an incredibly moving story!

The cast of characters in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation are priceless and always make me laugh/get in the decorating spirit!

Christmas Vacation has always been my favorite. Cousin Eddie is hilarious.

Die Hard, anyone?

How about the Bishop's wife

A Christmas Carol is my favorite, I know too many E. Scrooges in my life, and I vow never become one. I do like other moves on the list as well.

In terms of movies that stay with you in a profound way, hands down "It's a Wonderful Life." When it comes to laughs and a movie you can watch over and over, "Christmas Vacation." The squirrel scene is incredible, and the characters are so lovable.

Home alone can be watched every year and never get old.

"Trading Places", 1983 - (Dan Aykroyd, Ralph Bellamy) A Christmas delight where WASPy trust fund baby and Kenyan poor upcomer trade places in the inner sanctum of the futures market.. Beef Jerky anyone?

A Very Brady Christmas. Can anything save this now dysfunctional family?

Elf!!!

I watch classics like "A Christmas Story" and "Christmas Vacation" yearly, but there's nothing like Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life" to sort of put things into the proper perspective at the holidays.

the Christmas Story with Ralphie... "you'll shoot your eye out" !

Tie between One Magic Christmas and Home Alone 2

White Christmas for the song and dance or It's a Wonderful Life for the great story- can't go wrong with either one of them.

It's a Wonderful Life followed by Miracle on 34th Street!

Did anyone else grow up with Prancer? That was unique and a little corny but still pretty awesome.

BAD SANTA

Christmas Story when the family goes out for Chinese food after the hounds steal their turkey...fa ra ra ra ra fa ra ra raaaaaa

It's not my favorite; but "Christmas in Connecticut" deserves an honorable mention.

"Prancer" and "The Bishop's Wife" (Cary Grant, David Niven, Loretta Young)

I have not seen some of those listed in the comments and would now like to, thanks. (For instance I haven't learned whether Ralphie got his bb gun!!)

Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer is priceless, but my first choice now is Tim Burton's classic A Nightmare Before Christmas.

Love them all and hard to choose just one ... something happens to me each time I watch a non-Christmas movie like "The Way We Were" with Redford and Streisand. which is aways shown somewhere on TV around Christmas, and same goes for a few others that have only a slight Christmas theme, also shown this time of year. Guess if I really had to make a choice, "It's a Wonderful Life" would be the winner, then "Miracle on 34th STreet", which should really be No. 1 for me since I'm from the Big Apple and there is NO place like NYC at Christmas for me!

For fans of the B-grade horror genre - "Santa Slay" starring Bill Goldberg is an unforgettable watch.

Goldberg, one of history's pre-eminent Jewish athletes(sorry, Sandy Koufax), plays Santa. A Santa, who, a thousand years earlier lost a bet in a curling match. The opening scene involves him exacting his current day revenge on Fran Drescher and Chris Kattan.

I lasted half an hour. I wish I could forget it. But I can't.

A Christmas Carol with Patrick Stewart as Scrooge and Christmas Vacation are two I never get sick of watching...
