I'm with you, Pburke. I love all those Christmas cartoons, all these years later.

I agree with all the Christmas movies listed above.  Now how about the one's we don't like.  I hate the claymation " Rudolph the----"  It is so corny.  And the voices used.  Yuck!!!  And I don't particularly care for Charlie Brown Christmas.

My favorite is one that I don't believe that anyone has heard of beside me. I have spoken to people that I consider to have great filmography knowledge and no one has ever heard of it.
The movie is entitled "The Cheaters", filmed in 1945 it starred Joseph Shildkraut as a down and out has-been actor who gets taken in for Christmas dinner by a wealthy family named the Pidgeons. This family does this every year as a way to clear their consciences of all the relatively underhanded things they do throughout the year. Shildkraut's character helps them to really see the light on this particular Christmas and it turns out to be a life changing night for all concerned.
I haven't seen this thing since about 1965 but I don't think that the memory of it will ever completely leave me.
If I could find it on dvd I would snap it up quick and make watching it an annual Christmas tradition.

Hey Buddha-

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Definitely agree with you Rob on the Alstair Sim version of A Christmas Carol.  Especially the parts after he has had his revelations. Really funny AND touching.

Thanks TBS for reminding me that "A Christmas Story" is my all time favorite...

The first time I saw it was at a lock-in in the 8th grade, but the "adult in charge" turned it off because it was too boring...

...it just made me want to see it even more!!!

A CHRISTMAS CAROL ...............the original of course which I believe is 1938. And a 1989 film with SAM ELLIOTT ,partly filmed in Michigan and kind of hokey but oh well.    PRANCER.

[BillOnBass]

Die Hard.  Seriously.

Every year "A Christmas Carol" and "Christmas Story" must be watched.

And of course, "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

+1 on Charlie Brown.

[CraftyGuy]

"White Christmas", followed by "Holiday Inn".

Just can't go wrong with a classic musical :-)

[The Noggin]

Die Hard.  Seriously.

Isn't that the title of the planned new part of the series? 

[Basqueman]

When I was a kid, it was always "A Charlie Brown Christmas"   I will  always picture that lonely little tree with the one red ornament hanging from the top.

Now its "A Christmas Story"....oh yeah and " A Christmas Carol"  The one where Scrooge was played by George C. Scott.
