Christmas Vacation (actually, I am a very big fan of all the Vacation movies), Home Alone 1 & 2 (never seen 3), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the original animated one).

I'll have to say It's a Wonderful Life (I hope nobody from Maxim is reading this :wink: ) and, if we're counting non-traditional movies set at Christmas, Die Hard.

I'd say 'It's a Wonderful Life' too, plus 'A Christmas Carol', any version, but The one with Alistair Sim comes to mind first.

The Nightmare Before Christmas, A Christmas Story, and the recent Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas). That last one comes with a verrrry high recommendation because so few people have seen it, and it's such a beautiful film.

I like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story, those are hilarious.

Most of the Rankin/Bass classics. The Year Without A Santa Claus and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Twas the Night Before Christmas are probably my favorites.
Charlie Brown Christmas(never fails to amuse me)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas(both the cartoon and movie)
The Santa Clause
Jingle All the Way
The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus(cartoon version)
It's A Wonderful Life
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Muppet Christmas Carol(haven't seen this in so long)
A Christmas Story(Always a classic)

My favorite Christmas movie is "A Christmas Story." I liked how it showed this child's quest for the ultimate Christmas gift, and being thwarted at every turn, even by Santa. It's not like alot of the other sugar coated Christmas films out there and deserves a look.

I love the All Dogs Go To Heaven/ADGTH Christmas movie. I watched "The Santa Clause" 1 & 2 before and they were kinda funny. Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer is also worth mentioning. Oh yeah! And also, the Mr.Bean Christmas special (The nativity scene part was award winning!):
