Some other really good Christmas movies from France:

A Christmas Tale (2008) -- Like Family Stone but far more somber.

#1 on my list posted earlier. I watch it every year, usually on Christmas Eve. For me it's not Christmas without seeing this movie.

I watch it off and on; Catherine Deneuve was wonderful.

A Christmas Carol the 1951 Alastair Sim version is my favorite but I watch the others numerous times during December Including: Scrooge 1935, starring Seymore Hicks A Christmas Carol 1938,starring Reginald Owens A Christmas Carol 1984 starring George C.Scott A Christmas Carol 1999,starring Patrick Stewart. A Charlie Brown Christmas (my Mom is nearly 80 and still loves this one) Santa Claus is Coming to Town Miracle on 34th Street the 1947 version and the 1994 version I think with A Christmas Carol I enjoy watching each actor giving their own interpretation of Ebenezer Scrooge.

Don't forget Mr. Magoo. I love all of the Christmas Carol movies including that one.

I love the book too, for that matter....it's my favorite Christmas story, period.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation-it's a tradition for the family to watch this every year.

We watch Christmas movies during the season but on Christmas day our tradition is watching super hero movies like Batman, Xmen, etc.

Nothing is better than Mr. Magoo.

What does Eyes Wide Shut have to do with Christmas?

Haha, it's on my list too. It has as much to do with Christmas as Die Hard or Lethal Weapon which other people have mentioned. The opening scene is at a hoity-toity Christmas party and the closing scene is Christmas shopping at a toy store. The movie is all about the holidays.

Aha! I knew there had to be at least one obligatory Christmas scene! Funny that I've never seen that movie all these years, probably due to my aversion to Tom Cruise when he started flapping his gums in public.

1. Remember the Night - Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray, with Beulah Bondi and Sterling Holloway

2. The Bishop's Wife - Cary Grant, Loretta Young and David Niven. (TCM isn't showing it this year - how does such a thing happen?)

3. It's a Wonderful Life - James Stewart, Donna Reed - with an amazing supporting cast. Plus, Frank Capra directed.

You can always be depended on to show up with the classics

Trust me - it was hard to keep it to three. There are so many great holiday movies.

Home Alone 1 & 2 Muppets Christmas carol Scrooged The original Christmas carol movie Original Scrooge movie Grumpy cat Christmas Jingle all the way I've got Christmas Lillies of the field on my DVR to watch. Billy Dee plays Homer instead of Sidney in this movie.

Really? You've seen the silent short from 1901? That's impressive! Only 323 feet of the original 620 of film still exist.
