    It's a Wonderful Life is always number one.

    Beyond that: Rudolph, the Grinch, Elf (stupid but it makes me laugh). Christmas Story used to be top of the list too, but I gotta say I'm getting a LITTLE sick of it after 20 years of it playing a thousand times a year.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Christmas Story!

    H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.

    A Christmas Carol (George C Scott)
    Scrooged
    Bad Santa

    Don't really need anything else.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Absolutely #1 and #2 ; terrific movies.



    On a slightly different note, here's a little snippet of a Christmas movie starring Joan Collins, from 1972; I like to show it to keep the kids in line.
