My grandparents always watch the Alastair Sims "A Christmas Carol." It's kind of an inside joke in our family to say "No more bread."

"A Christmas Story" is pretty funny! "You'll shoot your eye out kid!"

Also love the cartoon "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" especially the song.

I love How the Grinch Stole Christmas as well, but my DH can watch A Christmas Story for the full 24 hour marathon!!
So I'm a little burnt out on that one!

The cartoon Grinch (good memories with my dad as a kid), A Christmas Story, the claymation Rudolph and Frosty movies, Muppet Christmas Carol, Mickey's Christmas Carol (I still need to buy it on DVD - I bought it for my sister last year, we loved it growing up).

You're never too old to start watching them now

Hmm, not the typical "Christmas" movie, but it has a dwarfs and elfs.... so I'll go with "Lord of the Rings" hehe

Seriously... I don't really have a favourite Christmas related movie.

Ok way way way too many of you grinch fans to quote you all, but I am a HUGE grinch fan too!!! Love it love it love it! I also like all the older ones that come on TV too, It's a Wonderful Life, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, The Charlie Brown Christmas one, Miracle on 34th Street, all of them!!

I love the Alistair Sims version of a Christmas Carol, no others come close. It's nice to see someone else that likes it.

The Snowman is my favorite animated one, the music and no talking is wonderful.

I'm usually stringing popcorn and cranberries for the tree and put those two on to watch.

Those are the best movies ever! I have Christmas tree ornaments from both of those movies.

Every year we watch the Grinch (cartoon), A Christmas Story, and the first Home Alone.

It's a Wonderful Life is the best for drama. A Christmas Story is so very entertaining in so many ways. It's sort of the Beaver Cleaver family with all the flaws showing. Every time I see it, it just tickles me when the kid beats the crap out of the bully -- and that secret little "proud" conversation the parents have that night after he's off to bed. Classic!

"The Year Without a Santa Claus" is the best, hands down. I know it's not a full-length movie, but what is better than Heat Miser and Cold Miser???
