So what’s everyone’s favourite/most treasured Christmas movie?

Along with It’s A Wonderful Life, National Lampoon's Christmas, Home Alone, Die Hard, Muppet’s Christmas Carol, I’d have to say my personal fav is ‘A Christmas Story’.

(From Play.com) The funniest thing about Christmas, according to Jean Shepherd's over-the-top holiday comedy, is spending it with your own family. In 1940's Indiana, nine-year-old Ralphie dreams of his ideal Christmas gift: a genuine Red Ryder 200-shot Carbine Action Air Rifle. But when his gruff dad and doting mom regularly respond with "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!" Ralphie mounts a full-scale hint-dropping, Santa begging campaign. In this tale you'll be caught up in all kinds of childhood calamities from snowsuit paralysis to the yellow-eyed Scotty Farkus affair to the dreaded tongue-on-a-frozen flagpole gambit.

If you’ve never seen it, I recommend it.

Definitley Nightmare Before Christmas. That was brilliant, and funny too!

Home Alone 2 aswell maybe, but I never really think of that as a "Christmas Film", despite all things staring me in the face.
Same with Die Hard too, but that was still a great film.

Ditto to Nightmare.

Also Die Hard, Home Alone 1+2, Trapped in Paradise, Black Christmas and Jack Frost (the Horror version, sodding hillarious)
