The Family Man with Nicholas Cage will hurt your teeth but it's a guilty pleasure.

12 years old too...wow!

Gremlins

I agree with all these.

I'd also add

5. It's a Wonderful Life (an Xmas must really)

and

6. Planes, Trains and Automobiles (technically Thanksgiving iirc(?) but it works as an xmas movie nonetheless)

7. The Snowman (originated on tv and is 26mins but I think it still technically counts as a 'film'? Anyway, thrown in there for consideration)

So they'd be my top 7 for Xmas every year.

Bad Santa
Trading Places
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation

Allround Predator

Trading Places - Eddie Murphy

Arthur 2 on the rocks

Ben-Hur

Beat the Lights

Bad Santa

Lethal Weapon

ZombieMed

You said "The Snowman" but not "Father Christmas"! For shame!

I also like the shorts:
Shrek the Halls
The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper
Merry Madagascar

I'm fairly sure that was American Psycho? (another Xmas feelgood favourite).

Fysh

Brazil is second only to Die Hard as my favourite not-Christmassy Christmas film. You could also check out Rare Exports and In Bruges.

(I'm not one for traditional Christmas films, as if you couldn't tell...)

Antar Bolaeisk

The one with Arnold Swarzenzenzeneggggar in it, Jingle All The Way?

And of course It's a Wonderful Life.

8mv

Lots of people hate Love Actually but I think it's really good. It's a Wonderful Life is almost certainly the best Christmas Movie and we watch The Muppets Christmas Carol almost every year. I quite like Polar Express as well and the first Die Hard movie is great fun.

You, good sir or madam, get an internet high five for getting that line.

TheKBizzle

Hostile Hostages

CastorTroy

Nightmare Before Christmas.

And will also go for It's a Wonderful Life, Elf, Muppets Christmas Carol, Scrooged, Gremlins and the first 2 Home Alones.

Or just watch every film on Christmas24, which I believe is where you watched the Dog who saved Christmas?

Da Shins Kelly

The ones I always watch are:

Love Actually
The Snowman
Nightmare Before Christmas
It's A Wonderful Life
Polar Express
Wall-E
The Godfather (a tradition me and my Dad have)
Toy Story

A lot of animated ones! Christmas brings out my inner child!

chickenbutt

I like to watch The Apartment (Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine) around Christmas.

Nervous Wreck

I have a weird love of "Surviving Christmas" with Ben Affleck...

don ramo

just friends with ryan reynolds (i think its set around thanksgiving)

quickbeam

Not really a fan of Christmas or Christmas movies, but one I do like because it stays pretty much away from the schmaltz and is just riotsly funny is Bad Santa. Never get tired of watching it, no matter what time of year.

And for something a bit different, I'd recommend Joyeux Noel - a World War I film set around Christmas about the relationships between the British, French and German soldiers during the first Christmas in the war when they laid down their weapons, sang Silent Night and had a game of footie. Really emotional film, great stuff.

podgemonster

Reindeer Games (AKA Deception) with Ben Affleck. Its okay but Charlize Theron gets her kit off alot in it.

I find most of the Harry Potters oddly Christmassy.
Also Die Hard 2
Jingle all the Way with Arnie

Tindie

DAY 46
Prancer (1989)
I did not like this movie that movie, it didn't have a nice feel to it, the Dad was nasty , The th things in this movie were really unforgivable.
Could not stand him at all, the only thing i liked in this movie was the connections with girl and Reindeer
The acting was really good from younger cast members they and the rest of the cast,

DAY 45

Santa Who? (2000)

I little surprised that I Never heard of this movie before,

Santa is played Leslie Nielsen, who really funny playing Santa in this movie

This was really good and funny Christmas movie,
As Santa as fallen from sky and now as gotten amnesia just days before Christmas even,

Santa landed on The reporter car who lost faith in Santa, when in the orphan when it was child, after we wish never came truth,

As some really funny moment in the movie, it could be even funnier as times, it great good feel Christmas movie for the whole family.

Not about Christmas, but often shown around the big day, The Gruffalo.

The animation is superb and the music will warm your heart.

Love Actually is probably the worst film I have ever seen.

Typically I hate that kind of movie (pretty much anything involving Hugh Grant immediately goes on my hate list), but something about that movie and Christmas-time makes me fuzzy inside.

~ its a lovely charming film, about a magazine columnist who writes tricks and tip about how to "run your home" and ends up having to host a christmas dinner for a war vet, when in fact she cant cook and lives in a wee apartment in the city.

The Shop Around The Corner - 1940
~ Starrng James Stewart, its a movie about 2 employees in a department store who do not get on, but are in fact penpals without realising it with eachother! (think "You've got mail" only...good!)

This was really nice good feel,as some very funny moment in the move, it nice see Victor from how I met your mother in this movie, Forgot her name in this movie.

The acting was really good and the ending was very happy and maybe a little bit cheesy, the effect were okay for kids movies,

A nice Christmas movie

Day 43
A Christmas Story (1983)

This was really fun Christmas movie to watch, Every enjoyable for the whole family.

This was great movie, I loved how the movie flowed really well, mix with bits of Drama and lots of very funny scenes both for Kids and Adults.

I loved the older voice over thing was really nice touch on movie, it fits in perfectly.

A perfect ending to really great Christmas movie

Ha! You're just watching Christmas24 movies for some of them, aren't you?

I really must see "A Christmas Story". I keep seeing it listed in the greatest Christmas movies, but for some reaon I get the idea it'd appeal more to Americans.

I did Silent Night Deadly Night, Christmas with the Kranks and the old old Miracle on 34th Street last night

I love Christmas!!

Day 42

Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol (1964)
I saw the Homer watching this in The Simpsons Christmas episode, last week,

I thought it was okay movie, I hate musical parts, I was Fast forwarding those parts of the movie.

I thought it would have been a lot more funny then it was, I didn't feel not feel Christmas movie.

Day 41
Christmas Do-Over (TV 2006) -
This remake of Christmas Every Day (Which I have only sure for first time this year), I have seen the Do over few times now.

The both are really different in their own way, the is the same, their a lot as changed and I found this bit more of Comedy then Christmas Every Day, which more of Drama.

However this ,more as some really good funny moments in this movie that make you laugh out loud, there the moment's were the jokes don't work and falls flat before they are even over.

This is a decent Christmas move not the best, Kids might enjoy more then adults who can wait for to end.
