I have not seen that one. I had it on DVR but deleted it. I'll try to snag it again. I much prefer the old movies to the new ones.Here's one that hasn't been mentioned. Another Jimmy Stewart classic.
The greatest holiday movie. Full trilogy. Dan Akroyd, drunk Santa on a SEPTA bus, gnawing his stolen smoked salmon through the grimy whiskers.
I've been digging some of the Christmas specials.. Bill Murray's is fantastically Wes Anderson-esque.. and I really enjoyed Kacey Musgrave's special this year too. Great singing, keep it on in the background and surprisingly funny.
Plus, she's a total babe. Watch the curtain call at the end to get a little Christmas Yule Log if you know what I'm saying!

This. Die Hard was just a movie that happened to take place at Christmas time. It's overriding theme was not Christmas.
Christmas Vacation is the gold standard of Christmas comedies.
Christmas Story is a Solid Second
I did enjoy Elf and The Santa Clause
I never much got into the classics, but i don't have anything against them. the above are just ones I tend to watch year in and year out.
Let's see.
- McClane brings a Christmas present to his wife.
- Movie has Christmas music near the beginning.
- McClane goes to Nakatomi Plaza where he will be attending a Christmas party where his wife works.
- Dead terrorist is wearing a Santa hat with Ho Ho Ho written on his shirt.
- It ends with the song Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! This is in LA where it doesn't snow so that is a clear sign they are trying to emphasize the Christmas theme.
A guy about to commit suicide and is shown what things would be like if he didn't exist and a boy that was accidently left home alone that is dealing with burglars trying to break in his house and rob it.
