What's Your Favorite X-Mas Movie?

Our's are these two. The first one is "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", special edition 5.1 Dolby Digital and widescreen!
The second one is "Bad Santa, Director's Cut".
Both these we watch each year now, in fact we are going to watch Bad Santa tonight.  Billy Bob Thornton plays the part so well and a little different role for John Ritter, god rest his soul.
Clark Griswold and his 25,000 lights!!!

Jimmy Stewart in, "It's a wonderful life"
second: would be Alister Simms in, "A Christmas Carol"

"Scrooge" with Alistiar Sim. Nothing is close for me.
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" Love this thing.
"It's A Wonderful Life" and of course "A Christmas Story" are fun. They run them 700 times during the holiday. I almost can recite the dialogue.

But you didn't comment on The Bishop's Wife, which was remade in 1996 into The Preacher's Wife (a bad movie starring Denzel Washington and Whitney "Crackhead" Houston).

I really like Alistir Sim (sp) in A Christmas Carol, and there is a version of it on Lifetime Television starring Susan Lucci in a more updated version, and I can't remember the name of it.
Christmas Vacation is pretty good too.
A Christmas Story is good, but I can only watch it once or twice, and the network plays it so much... Although there is a house across the river that has that leg lamp, made into a huge version, so you can see it from the interstate, in the front yard. ha ha

Ah a "Holiday Inn" Fan." Good one. Better than "White Christmas." If you weren't around in the 50s, you won't know the hype surrounding "White Christmas."

Miracle on 34th Street, the original version, not the remake. And of course, Jimmy Stewart in It's A Wonderful Life.

Every year my wife and are up late several nights wrapping gifts. Each time we do we have "It's a wonderful life" on the TV in the background. Not the colorized one from that bastard Ted Turner either. It's an awesome movie and I never get tired of it. We often recite the lines in various situations througout the year.
How many here know that the cop and cabbie, Bert and Ernie, inspired Jim Henson to create the Muppet characters of the same names?
2nd place is "A Christmas Story" with Peter Billingsly. There are so many classic moments in that movie: the tongue on the flag pole, the bully getting beat up, the duck loosing its head to the sound of Chinese Christmas Carols, the Bumpas' dogs getting the turkey, ... The list goes on.
Anytime one of my little ones asks for something stupid for Christmas I just say; "You'll shoot your eye out". And they know there's no way in hell it's gonna happen
