I'm a holiday junkie, from about the week before Halloween through about the first week of January, so I have no single 'favorite' Christmas movie.  It all depends on what I'm in the mood for at the time.

On the short list of my favorites, you will find (in no particular order):

    It's a Wonderful Life

    A Christmas Carol (George C. Scott as E. Scrooge)

    White Christmas

    A Christmas Story

    The Christmas Sweater

    Jim Carrey's/Ron Howard's How the Grinch Stole Christmas

    MGM's cartoon of How the Grinch Stole Christmas
"Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here."
-- Capt. John Parker

"I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission"
-- Capt. Steve Rogers

"In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem, government IS the problem."
-- Ronaldus Magnus

Its a Wonderful Life (Jimmy Stewart reminds me a great deal of my dad); the 1984 version of A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott, A Christmas Story (Ralph and Randy would have been around my oldest 2 brothers' ages in the late 40s/1950) and, of course, Christmas Vacation!  :-)

The Year Without a Santa Claus.  1974 animation at it's finest, and the Heat Miser and Snow Miser.  

Classic.

Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, fore-fleshing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is. Hallelujah. Holy shit. Where's the Tylenol?
Christmas Vacation! Because you have to love the classics.

I can't decide between Lethal Weapon and Die Hard so I'll say The Nightmare Before Christmas.

"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."

I forgot that Lethal Weapon and Die Hard were also Christmas movies.  I need a re-do.

Ah, yep. John Kerry should have stuck with acting.

My favorites are It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story and A Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart version)

NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
