    Home Alone, Gremlins, Supergirl (and at no other time of the year), The Goonies, Mary Poppins, Willy Wonka, and It's A Wonderful Life are all good ones.

    Love watching all the christmas theme films. Such as Love Actually and The Holiday. A fav for Christmas day would have to be A Miracle on 34th Street.

    Nope I don't watch any Tv on Christmas day either. Though in the days running up to and the days after Die Hard, Indiana Jones and Scrooged are essentials.

    The Great Escape

    Yep, No xmas is the same without The Great Escape being broadcast about 20 times over the entire day.
    Ive held off from buying the dvd for the simple reason that it gives me something to look forward to during xmas

    Top Christmas Day Films

    Trading Places
    Ghostbusters
    Scrooged
    The Santa Clause
    Superman
    Die Hard and Die Harder
    Home Alone
    The Goonies
    Star Wars
    Groundhog Day
    Airplane

    A good Christmas movie doesn't even have to be very christmassy. It all has to do with providing the spirit of Christmas, like peace and joy in the household when the whole family is engaged in watching a movie they've seen a thousand times.

    I like it, because my dad will vaguelly recall the events of the movie and decided to remind us of that fact mere moments before each major event. My sister will constantly test me by asking where she's seen a particular actor before. And my mother will laugh at any slapstick joke and cringe at any person being killed.
