Even better, the marketing for Miracle on 34th Street didn't even reference Christmas, they tried to hide the fact!

Battle of the Christmas movies, who will reign supreme as the BEST Christmas movie?!
- Thread starter ThisThingIsUseful
- Start date
Santa Claus: The Movie
This movie IS Christmas lore, it should be mandatory viewing for every child
Also the most anti-capitalist Christmas movie you'll ever see
These are good posts. The only movies I have to watch every Christmas:
1. A Christmas Carol (1984)
2. Santa Claus: The Movie
3. Home Alone
4. Home Alone 2
National Lanpoons
Muppet Christmas
Home Alone
It's always in the top 3, sometimes different orders but this is the order it's been for the majority of my life.

But after those flashbacks it doesn't hit as hard.
Spirited is a lot of fun, and a musical.
This was a great surprise. Going to give it a rewatch this month.
This poll though…….. 🤨
My own picks:
Tokyo Godfathers
Black Christmas
Krampus
It's a Wonderful Life
White Christmas
Charlie Brown Christmas (mostly for the soundtrack)
I might include Die Hard and Home Alone, but I get tired of watching the same thing over and I've watched both a million times because my oldest brother likes them so much.
Shop Around the Corner might also make the list. I remember really liking it when I was younger, but haven't re-watched it in years.

Elf.
The Die Hard stuff is so tiresome now. Shouldn't we have moved onto something else like Batman Returns or Lethal Weapon.

Of your horrible list, it's Christmas Story by a mile. Of all time? It's either that or National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Christmas Vacation is an institution in my family. Basically everyone from my grandma on down can quote the entire film from front to back.
"He worked really hard, grandma."
"So do washing machines."
The older I get, the more strongly I relate. Ages like fine wine
The best Christmas movies is Scrooge imo (1951 Christmas Carol adaptation starring Alastair Sim).
Home Alone 1/2 are close behind, honourable mentions to Die Hard, Muppets Christmas Carol, Batman Returns and the 70s Finney musical of Christmas Carol too
You're both wrong. It's the 1999 version with Patrick Stewart (also has Richard E Grant as the best Cratchit)
Muppet's Christmas Carol is the best movie ever made.
Home Alone, Home Alone 2, Jingle All the Way, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the Ron Howard/Jim Carrey one) round out the top five Christmas movies.
Klaus and Spirited are the two modern contenders. The Snowman (Bowie) and Olive the Other Reindeer honorable mention.
