When you are looking to watch a holiday flick, which is the first one you reach for? For me, it is Home Alone and Home Alone 2. Home Alone being 1a and Home Alone 2 being 1b. You are of course free to choose more than one as I did. Lots of classics out there. 

Some other ones that I like are a Muppet Christmas Carol, Christmas with the Kranks, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. 

Ha! I'm way too old and curmudgeonly to entertain even the thought of watching another Christmas movie - ever again.

This is easily the best of the genre though:

It's a Wonderful LifeIt's a Wonderful Life is a 1946 American Christmas family fantasy drama film produced and directed by Frank Capra, based on the short story and booklet The Greatest Gift , which Philip Van Doren Stern self-published in 1943 and is in turn loosely based on the Charles Dickens novel " A Christmas Carol".en.wikipedia.org

Search it out if you aren't familiar.

It's a Wonderful Life is a classic for sure! We own that one. Gotta see it again. It's been too long!

Technically a movie... A Charlie Brown Christmas.

A Charlie Brown ChristmasA Charlie Brown Christmas is a 1965 animated television special, and is the first TV special based on the comic strip , by Charles M. Schulz. Produced by Lee Mendelson and directed by Bill Melendez, the program made its debut on CBS on December 9, 1965.en.wikipedia.org

Absolutely! A classic for sure!

Those who like It's a Wonderful Life should give Nobody's Fool (starring Paul Newman) a try. It is like a modern (as of the 1990s) reimagining of the story of It's a Wonderful Life. Newman is great -- as usual.

My favorite Christmas movie is Miracle on 34th Street followed closely by Love Actually.

we love Charlie Brown and just finished watching Home Alone!

Don’t forget Die Hard !
