Watched Love Actually for the first time. That was a nice feel good Christmas movie with a bazillion great actors.

It's interesting that no one suggested Christmas in Connecticut (the 1945 film, not the 1992 remake) with Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan, Sydney Greenstreet. Just sayin'.

Like many others, my favorite is A Christmas Carol, the 1951 version with Alastair Sim.

Tried watching it twice, for some reason couldn't continue. Will have to make it next year.
 
I'm an old man, so my favorites are the classics.
White Christmas
Holiday Inn
It's a wonderful life
Miracle on 34th Street
Although it's technically not a Christmas movie ala DIE Hard,
Going My Way's climatic scene takes place on Christmas eve, so I call it one.
 
An older forgotten Christmas movie I like a lot is “Remember the Night” starring Fred Macmurray and Barbara Stanwyck. Some very sweet scenes are in it, snd I love how it shows old fashioned holidays where folks provided their own entertainment

The Grinch

We just watched "Last Christmas" with my 2 brothers and 10 year old niece last night. I had seen and loved it. Everybody liked it. Who doesn't love a move filled with Wham songs? hehe. I also like: It's a Wonderful life, Elf, Just Friends, Bad Santa and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Surprised no one has mentioned Ted Lasso’s “Carol of the Bells”.

My favorite Christmas movies…….

1) The Apartment (surprisingly very Christmasy and also flat out one of the greatest films ever made)
2) White Christmas
3) It’s a Wonderful Life
4) The Shop Around the Corner
5) Christmas in Connecticut
6) Edward Scissorhands
7) Miracle on 34th Street
8) The Bishops Wife
9) A Christmas Carol (1951)
10) Ben-Hur 1959. Not a Christmas movie in the traditional sense but its sub title is “A Tale of the Christ”, it begins at Christ’s birth in a manger and ends just after his crucifixion, as Judah’s mother and sister are cured of leprosy.
 
1 - Home Alone
2 - A Christmas Story
3 - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
4 - White Christmas

Daddy's Home 2, saw it for the first time this year and I recommend.

Just watched that 3 years ago for the first time and make sure I watch it every year. Not sure i even saw the first one but adding Mel Gibson and Jon Lithgow as the grandparents and then throwing in John Cena- lot of funny moments. Especially with the kids in the movie.
 
Mrs StllH8L8ner forces the kids and I to watch “The Night They Saved Christmas” every year on Christmas Eve. She used to watch it with her siblings when they were young so we’re continuing the tradition with our kids.

The second one really launched Mark Few's career, playing Snow Miser. Credit to someone else here for noticing...

Elf
Bad Santa
the Santa Claus
Scrooged
A Christmas Carol..George C Scott
 
Surprised "Bad Santa" was not mentioned more often. That's my clear number one. The exact right balance between dark humor/meanness/venality and spiritual redemption.

But my wife hates that movie, so maybe I'm the crazy one.

It's not my favorite but deserves mention. I know that I'm crazy as many including my wife have offered that opinion of me.
