Christmas/Holiday must watch movies (1 Viewer)

[That one guy]

I didn't feel like searching for older threads

It's that time of year and I know many people have personal or family traditions with regards to movies.  What are the titles that you just have to watch?  Some of mine:

Scrooged w/ Bill Murray

Elf

Charlie Brown Christmas

Die Hard (shut up, it is!)

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

One I’ve tried to find over the years unsuccessfully is the old California Raisins Christmas Special, my dad and I still talk about it fondly even though we haven’t seen it in probably 20 years

Lethal Weapon

 

[Copeman]

Emmitt Otter Jugband Christmas

 

[Bull Dozier]

Holiday movie watching season for me kicks off with the annual Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Thanksgiving night.

The only two must watches for me every year are A Christmas Story, and It's a Wonderful Life.  Because of the memories they evoke, nothing else gets me into the Christmas season like these two.  I enjoy other movies, but nothing else I have to see every year.
