There are the obvious "It's a Wonderful Life", "Miracle on 34th Street", "A Christmas Carol" (which version?) and "A Christmas Story", but what are some of your other must-see Holiday movies?

I always watch "Gremlins" around the holidays, "The Ref", and my family's just added "Love Actually" to the list. There's also "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" of course.

Ziggy's Gift is a great one. Cartoon super for kids, we watch it every year on x-mas eve. Polar Express is good, love the "Hot Chocolate" scene.

I thought that Die Hard 2 had a great Christmas message.

Home Alone and Home Alone 2 always were good in my book.

Love actually is a fantastic movie. My wife made me watch it one evening, and I think I may add it as a 'christmas eve' tradition.

Die Hard, Less than Zero and Lethal Weapon are amongst my favorite movies wrapping in the Christmas holidays.

If it's Christmas movies in general then you can't beat Elf and It's a Wonderful Life.

Good call on mentioning The Ref, Zack
