Can we add the magic of Scrooged and A Christmas Story to the list?

"Shitter's full!" is still one of my favorite Christmas Vacation scenes. :)

My personal favorite's Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, though that's mostly because of seeing it first as a wee tot.

Though having excellent songs certainly helps.

The only real answer is Rankin Bass' masterpiece "Life and Adventures of Santa Claus"

Any other answer forgets the true meaning of Christmas. This is what I was raised to believe.

Home Alone is really good and every year I'm surprised that it's mostly just this heartfelt family comedy/drama and the super-violent fun house rampage part is only like a third of the movie. In my memory it's always the opposite.

Planes Trains is really good but that's a Thanksgiving movie, I'm a big fan of Love Actually and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and of course Die hard at Christmas.

I thought National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation for the latter and a Rankin Bass special for the former but maybe somebody has better ideas.

I like a Nora Ephron movie called Mixed Nuts a lot. Good cast. From that mid/late-90s period where Steve Martin did a bunch of good movies like LA Story and Bowfinger.
