Christmas movies...

[gmichael]

I have found out that there is a Filipino tradition for Christmas. It is to stay up all night Christmas eve with friends and family. Sense we did Thanksgiving at a friend's house, it is our turn to do Christmas. I am planning some of the entertainment. Two movies are on the list at this point, (Polar Express, and the TSO DVD).
Does anyone else have any more ideas? What are some of the best Christmas movies to watch with family?

One of my favorites growing up was:

One more vote for Bad Santa

Can't forget the "pinball" scene!

I bet I'd love it. Not sure how the kids will react. Or worse, how will the mothers react?

Friday After Next - Wait till the kids pass out!

I didn't much care for that... it was ok, but I was expecting better.

White Christmas
Holiday Inn
Christmas in Connecticut
Home Alone 1 (2?)

Definitely, It's A Wonderful Life, several versions of the Christmas Carol (notably versions with Alistair Sim, George C Scott and Patrick Stewart as Scrooge), Christmas Story and Scrooged.

Hahahah.....Bad Santa gets my vote for the most demented Christmas themed movie ever made. 4 Christmases isn't far behind.

Looks like I'll be watching Disney's new animated A Christmas Carol this weekend! Didn't think they'd send it even if it was at the top of my BBQ.

Just watched it the other night...very well done with the PQ and SQ for this movie was stellar. I also loved the movie for the dialogue full of dark humor and subtleties.

How'd you watch it the other night? It was just released today.
