Outside of my Christmas Vacation movie, what are your "must-see" holiday movies?

[Rustys Dad]

• Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn (Vince's interactions with his two brothers is good stuff)
• Bad Santa has grown on me
• Elf
• Christmas Story
• Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (maybe not specifically a holiday movie - good stuff)

A Christmas Carol (Alastair Sim version)

Miracle on 34 Street (the original)

House Without a Christmas Tree

Christmas Story (not "A Christmas Story"...I'm referring to a Finnish movie that tells the story of Santa Claus)

I also watch Polar Express, Scrooge (1935), and the George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol.

Reindeer Games
Trading Places

There are only 3 "must" Christmas movies.

1. "Miracle on 34th Street" (the original B&W version, NOT the colorized one and ABSOLUTELY NOT the remakes).

2. "A Christmas Story."

3. "Die Hard."

There are any number of other movies that are OK to watch at that time of year. Chief among them, of course, is "It's a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Carol" with Alistair Sim. Less classic are "The Lemon Drop Kid," "Holiday Inn," and some others.
