Scrooge. Simple in it's uniqueness, unique in it's simpleness.

Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life (1946) with James Stewart and Donna Reed.

An absolute American immortal classic.

[Jim Kelly]

Just watched THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER (1940) and that might be my new favourite. I watch IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946) every year, so it's nice to have another Jimmy Stewart movie to put in the rotation.

SCROOGE aka A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1951) starring Alastair Sim is the Christmas movie I've watched all of my life and no other version of the story can live up to it in my mind. I know every scene and all the music notes and it's like a perfect symphony that you always want to listen to again. Also because my whole family would watch this movie it's tied into all my memories of Christmases past with people who are only here in spirit now.

LOVE ACTUALLY (2003) was a favourite from the first time I saw it in the theatre and I have it on DVD now so I plan to watch it soon. ELF is another that I watch fairly often--I like the little nods to things like the stop motion RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER.

Sometimes I'll watch CHRISTMAS VACATION which was supposedly mocking the sentimentality of Christmas and yet now is a sentimental favourite.

I'm a fan of old movies and James Stewart, but I've never heard of The Shop Around The Corner. I'll have to add it to my video collection if it ever comes back in to print in a reasonably priced edition.

Apparently, the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan film, You've Got Mail was inspired/remade from this. Haven't seen that one either and don't plan to as the only romantic movies I'd bother to see would be from Hollywood's Golden Age.

There was a musical remake of THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER with Judy Garland and Van Johnson called IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME (1949). I've seen that one a few times on TV--but I don't remember if it has anything to do with Christmas like the original.

Ernst Lubitsch directed THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER and it has his touch. It's set in Budapest and has that feeling of longing for a time before the war that reminds me of many Stefan Zweig stories.

Speaking of Judy Garland, I will often watch MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS (1944) at Christmas time. I find the child actress Margaret O'Brien a bit hard to take in that movie, but it's otherwise a splendid musical, especially for Judy Garland's scenes.

Tokyo Godfathers

Since it seems alright to mention animated (anime) Christmas movies, I'll say Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz - Special Edition (movie version).

[Starter Set]

Gremlins i would say.

Which reminds me that i haven't watched that movie in quite a long while so, yeah, this year why not?

[Jekyll]

Gremlins
Christmas Vacation
Four Christmases
Home Alone
Iron Man 3
Die Hard

Ah yes, The Shop Around The Corner! I forgot about that one! This has long been a favorite movie of mine, but I have not seen it for many years.

Every year I Hope and wait for a bevy of Christmas Movies to run on the TV, but every year it gets worse than the last, with less different movies shown. I would live to see TSATC!

My Christmas movie is In Bruges (2008). It's at Christmas, it's all about redemption, love it. Fa la la la la...

Since I didn't see it come up, Santa Claus Conquers The Martians.

Edit: Come to think of it, Carol.

Also, Lady In The Lake. Bonus points for that it was turned into a Christmas film.
