  Miracle on 34th Street (original - although the remake with Richard Attenborough as Kris Kringle was also quite nice)
  A Christmas Carol (I like all versions of this - but my personal favourite is the George C Scott one)
  Trading Places
  Bad Santa
  
  But my favourite is ....
  
  National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

  Nothing to do with Christmas, but I do enjoy the annual 'Wizard of Oz' airing.

  Die Hard 1 & 2
  Home Alone 1 & 2
  Jingle All the Way (yes, really)
  Lethal Weapon
  Elf
  National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
  A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas
  
  And even though they're not Christmas films I always associate Lord of the Rings and Avatar with Christmas considering I first saw them all at the cinema just before Christmas.

  The kids love watching Polar Express each year, as for me, I remember each xmas watching The Little Drummer Boy which was an animated version of the story narrated by Greer Garson and I loved it as a child. Haven't seen it for 30 years.
  These days I love to watch Meet Me In St Louis because it is a classic and Judy Garland singing Have Yourself a Merry Little Xmas is simply magic.

  Hey it's set at Christmas time! And in that same vein i'll say Gremlins.
  
  Real answer would be Muppets Christmas Carol or Scrooged.
