OK, don't know if this thread had started earlier, but here are my faves:

(1) It's A Wonderful Life -- enough said

(2) Meet Me in St. Louis -- how could you not love "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"?

(3) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation -- sheesh, how could you not love the cat in the tree? LOL

(4) My ALL TIME FAVORITE? White Christmas --
how could you not LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby when they're singing "Sisters"? I watch this every year (bought the video) as I decorate the Christmas tree

I love old movies and I love holiday movies so when you combine the two, I'm in cinema nirvana.

My absolute favorites:

The Bishop's Wife
Miracle on 34th Street
It's a Wonderful Life

I only saw White Christmas once and don't remember much about it except that I loved Vera Ellen and Danny Kaye's dancing. Not to say the singing wasn't wonderful! I've never seen Christmas Vacation although I have heard about the lights, lol.

Oh and if we can include Meet Me in St Louis (which I do love), another favorite of mine that isn't strictly a holiday movie but does have a Christmas sequence is Curse of the Cat People.

There's a few newer films I'm fond of, as well, and I also love many animated tv specials. But's that's outside of this thread, isn't it? :) Must say though, I cannot wait for Tom Hanks' feature film version of The Polar Express.

I know Christmas is here when I can sit down and watch Rudolph! That is my very favorite. I also can't wait for The Polar Express. That is one book that I could never finish reading to my kids without crying. (Of course, I am a notorious cryer!) For the oldies, of course, It's a Wonderful Life. I love The Bishop's Wife (I am a huge Cary Grant fan!) and I also love to watch Shirley Temple's Heidi. And of course the ultimate Christmas movie...A Christmas Story!

I love to watch Miracle On 34th Street, with Natalie Wood; Its A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story---the kid wants a bbgun, One Magic Christmas even though it seems so sad at first, and finally Scrooged--with Bill Murray.
