White Christmas - All time favorite (Iāve already watched it twice)
Anything Grinch related

Itās a Wonderful Life
Miracle on 34th Street
A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott
Scrooged with Bill Murray
Christmas in Connecticut with Barbara Stanwyck
Holiday Inn
The Santa Clause

and Iāll always have a soft spot for all the old animation movies that are as old if not older than I am 
Santa Claus is coming to Town, The Year Without Santa Claus, Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, Charlie Brown Christmas and Frosty the Snowman.
Iām not really into any of the sappy, same story line current line up of cookie cutter Christmas movies, but I loveeeee the Christmas Chronicles movies by Netflix.
The pinnacle of Christmas films has to be Muppet Christmas Carol for me. Michael Caineās finest role.
By far Patrick Stewartās scrooge
Love the Christmas tree bullets 
After the Original Cartoon How the Grinch Stole Christmas narrated by the one and only Boris Karloff,
the only other Christmas movie that I really enjoy is Scrooged with Bill Murray. Especially the ghost of Christmas Present, LOL!
I mean, Iāll watch the classics if someone else puts them on while Iām in the room but I donāt actively go looking for Itās a Wonderful Life on purpose any more.
None comes to mind, sorry.
Iāll watch any event blockbuster I havenāt seen before, but in the UK at least Christmas viewing is all about the Doctor Who Christmas Special, this season itās on New Yearās Day next year. Howās that for time travel lol.
Iām a huge Doctor Who fanā¦ but being in the US ā¦ I might get to see the Christmas special some time in February lol 
I like all the Christmas specials you UKāers have. I love Call the Midwife and theirs is always so wonderful. 
Youāre welcome and Iām sorry . . .
Iāll have to check that out later lol
It was a made-for-TV special. It is seriously terrible in every way with an interruption of what might be described as a disturbing, semi-eotic dance number. Itās something you might want to endure if you grew up with the original three Star Wars movies. Or not.
To answer the original question seriously, Iād say my favorites are Charlie Brown Christmas Special, the original animated Grinch, and the classic Rankin Bass animated specials.
Ahh, life in the good olā days when, if you missed the broadcast of the Christmas specials, you had to wait a whole year for them to be broadcast again.
I remember being like 7 and visiting my dad when he was in the hospital (heād fallen at work and had a collapsed lung, but he was mobile.) We went to a lounge area where some guy already there turned off the football game just so the kids could watch Grinch with Dad, cuz you didnāt get a second chance back then. First time seeing it in color too!
And that Star Wars special, I remember it being really horrible, if itās the Chewie family specialā¦?
I feel nothing beats National Lampoonās Christmas Vacation movie, I love all of them but that one does something for me! 
I should probably go and catch up on it right now! 
Thatās the one.
There is always the genius that is the Father Ted Christmas Special: A Christmassy Ted. I am guessing this series never made it to the US and itās a very British / Irish thing. It was a fairly short run thing (3 series, 25 half-hour episodes, plus the Christmas Special in total) that I still wet myself laughing at, 25 years later. If you havenāt seen it, then, āGo on, go on, go on, go on ā¦ā
Nope ā¦ that one never made it here, that I know of.
I am lover of most Britcoms that made it over here. I love the British sense of humor in general. I always just āgot itā.
It all started when I was about 8. I would sneak down stairs with a blanket over my head and the little 13 inch portable TV. This was somewhere back in the 70ās. PBS would aire Monty Python and Benny Hill late Friday night. I do believe they are what warped my sense of humor in the best way possible
Benny Hill was always a favorite of mine too. Dad and I would sit an laugh and laugh.
Iām willing to bet that show would be considered totally un-PC today.
Thatās kinda sad.
I almost said it would never fly today. Someone would surely be too offended to let it continue
I personally thought it was funny, silly and a bit naughty ā¦ all the boxes ticked Just like Python
If it were to come out now I can hear all the Pseudo Christians and Helicopter Parents ā¦ OMG ā¦ The childrennnnnnnnnnnā¦ What about the childrennnnnnnnnnnn!
This took a bit of a turn ā¦ Sorry about that ā¦
Back to Christmas movies
One I forgot about was The Homecoming. I really liked that one. Itās what The Waltonās was based on.
