What’s your all-time favorite Holiday movies??

For me it’s-
• “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”
• “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York”
• “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” 2000
• “The Santa Clause”
• “Scrooged” Bill Murray is awesome!
• “Home Alone”
• “Elf”….hey, I liked it.
• “A Christmas Story” you’ll shoot your eye out!
• “The Santa Clause 2”
• “Christmas with the Kranks” not super funny but I enjoyed it.
* "Ernest Saves Chritmas"....

These aren’t necessarily in order.

Home Alone
The Santa Clause (not the sequel)
Elf
A Christmas Story
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (both versions)
A Muppet Christmas Carol
The Nightmar Before Christmas (it's half a christmas movie)
Adam Sandlers 8 Crazy Nights

There are a few other Christmas films I like but I can't remember the name or I can't think of them right now.

I have to admit I do like those Rudoph the Red Nosed Reindeer Movies, those stop motion ones you know? There is also Santa Clause is Coming to town and I can't remember the names of the others.

If it's a christmas comedy I will most likely like it. I'm sure Deck the Halls will be one of my favorites! Looks hilarious!

- While technically not a Christmas movie, it did take place around the holiday. Plus, watching a drunk Dan Ackroyd as a dirty Santa eating a salmon out of his beard always cracks me up.

I have scrolled through the best-holiday-movies ever, but I am amazed that (i believe) nobody entered the Scrooge version with Albert Finney.
I think it is the best Christmas movie ever made.
My top5 Xmas movies are:

1. Scrooge (Albert Finney)
2. Home Alone 1
3. Santa Clause
4. The Santa Clause 1
5. An American Christmas Carol
