It's hard to rank them because there are so many but the home alone series, Edward Scissorhands and Batman Returns stand out from the rest for me, others which I can remember from the top of me head:

The Snowman
Rocky IV
Hocus Pocus
How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Miracle on 34th Street
Die Hard
NeverEnding Story

Home Alone FTW!

The Grinch is up there. Hocus Pocus is more of a Halloween movie imo.
 
I like prefer the animated grinch to jim carrey's grinch, they used to show it to us in elementary school back in the good old days along with frosty the snowman.

:)) I know not sure why I seem to associate Christmas with Hocus Pocus and the NeverEnding Story is another suspect one, wish there would be more movies like home alone these days

Halloweentown is a better halloween movie, the 80s and 90s had great family movies

It's one of the reasons I enjoyed Stranger Things on Netflix it had that 80's/90's movies feel to it

I always wanted to have an 80s high school experience like the movies even though I was 4 when the 90s ended :))

Other classics from that period I enjoy watching are Back to the future, nighmare on elm street and ferris bueller

Well I don't think this is a Christmas movie, however, a number of people & TV channels now classify these as XMas Movies for some strange reason so I'm going to go with....

....the Harry Potter Movies :mv
 
The Santa Clause series
The Polar Express
Elf
Home Alone 3
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Merry Christmas Drake and Josh
Mickey's Once upon a Christmas/Twice upon a Christmas
Jingle All the Way
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

I can't think of any others. :(

Inzi is Santa btw. :inzi

Alvin and the Chipmunks is another gem, Inzi will definitely be [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] santa if Asif and Butt are selected for the next couple of tests :))

Ok this will be a very strange post for certain posters, but for some unknown weird reason; whenever Christmas rolls around I end up watching the LION KING :facepalm:

It's been happening for quite a number of years now too #smh

:)) am like that to, I think when we were kids Kiss Miss was special and during that period of youth we were lucky enough to experience some of the greatest movies of all time and due to that nostalgia associate certain movies with the festive period which has us stepping into a time machine going back to the good ol days
 
The Snowman

Favourite shows?

TOTP

Father Ted: A Christmassy Ted

Inbetweeners Christmas Party

Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads

Morecambe and Wise with the newsreaders dancing as sailors

Nowadays I like to watch the BBC Agatha Christie special and Sherlock, and I don't even like Sherlock apart from having Una Stubbs in.

I can't: I burst into tears each time Simba's dad dies and each time he returns to his kingdom.

I'm 47, but it's like when Bambi's mum got murdered. I can't stop the waterworks.

(Bambi's mum being why I believe,genuinely, in a mandatory death sentence for all gun owners).

I would pass a law so that owning a gun licence entitles any member of the public to shoot you whenever they feel like it.

One of the best movies of all time, couldn't get my kids to appreciate it though.

Oddly enough I did not see it until a couple Christmasses ago. By the end I was sobbing like a baby :)

It will not make sense to kids, only adults I think. You have to live a few decades first, understand the value of sacrifice and second chances.

Did you catch the short episodic series produced by the BBC recently? it was called "And then there were none" one of Agatha's most famous novels, I had the book but never got around to reading it however was excited to catch the short TV film like episodes which were brilliant.
 
[MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] this is the show am referring to, it only ran three hour long episodes:


Wish the BBC would produce more gems like these, another series which I enjoyed was Dickensian a show based on characters from popular novels by Charles Dickens.
 
101 Dalmations is another movie I forgot to add which hasn't been mentioned!

I don't know which one is the 4th tbh Am watching pretty woman, not seen romance movies in years (also hard to locate decent ones and I've not watched notebook because the plot has been recycled a million times) watched american beauty the other day it was pretty good

I like number 4. What's so bad about it

I tried watching it the other day. Absolute rubbish. One of the worst movies ever. 3 is the best. The oldest one. With the kid Max. The newest one is underrated.

Actually seems like that :uakmal
 
My watch list for today:

The Snowman
Home Alone 1
Polar Express
 
Three dudes, christmas night, one of them joseph gordon Levitt. Has miley cyrus as well. Cant remember the name of the movie.
 
The snow man short film was about 27 min long and in that year received an academy award nomination. The writer did a great job, produced a compelling masterpiece really liked the haunting tone and the memorable "walking in the air" song magnified the themes; it will remain unforgettable throughout many childhoods over the years in Britain when it airs on TV at this time every year.
 

Stone Cold
Santa Stuns Vincent Kennedy Meekman for old times sake :))) [MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION]

[MENTION=53377]jeetu[/MENTION] that was the best edit by a MOD in PP history :))
 
My favourites are Home Alone 1 & 2 and A Christmas Carol.

Also surprised The Nightmare Before Christmas isn't here, it's a classic.

Remember watching this on TV back in the day. Man, Stone Cold was such a badass character, one of my all time favorites.
