What's everyone's fave Xmas movie?

A lot of people cite Its A Wonderful Life but that isn't a Christmas movie to me.

I love National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and of course Home Alone 1 and 2.

Get Santa is quite funny in terms of newer movies. The first Nativity movie is also classic but the two sequels were naff.

The National Lampoon's is really funny and it doesn't feel like an old movie either.

You are right it still feels very current.


How did I forget Santa Claus The Movie!

I loath it's a wonderful life with such a passion. Possibly the most overrated film, ever.

I must admit I don't quite get why it is considered a Christmas classic. I gave it a try a couple of years ago and found it quite boring.

I love Disney's One Magic Christmas. It's very much an update of It's a Wonderful Life, and very underrated - Mary Steenburgen is phenomenal in it, because my god her character gets put through some heavy stuff!!

Wonderful life all day long, though mainly for the last 45 minutes; the early parts of the film can drag a bit. And any version of a Christmas Carol.

Not quite a Christmas movie, but they had "the bishops wife" on tv the other day. Never saw it before, but I thought it was easily on a par with miracle on 34th street. Very good performance from Cary Grant.
