A Christmas Story

List fails without this.
I love that movie.
Others in consideration
A Christmas Story ( this is the one that evokes nostalgia, no other movie really shows how Christmas was for many American boys.
It's A Wonderful Life, it's a wonderful movie.
Christmas Vacation. fun as hell, great big laughs all the way through.
Silent Night. not the slasher trash, the one with Linda Hamilton as a German widow and mother hosting both American and German soldiers on Christmas Eve night 1944.
It has nothing of value to do with Christmas though.
I'd put it high on my action movie list, but not this list.
The stop action made for tv Rudolph with Burl Ives is a good one for sure.
Says you.
It has the greatest Christmas song of all time, or to quote the movie, "Man, this IS Christmas music!"
Iiiit's Christmas time in Hollis, Queens
Mom's cooking chicken and collard greens...
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese
And Santa puts gifts under Christmas trees!!
True, plus a lot of snow is snorted at the office party.
Most important....''HO..HO..HO"
It was the 80s...
Happy to agree to disagree, but I'm always willing to argue with someone who says it isn't a Christmas movie. Man travels out west to try to make up with his wife during the holidays. Goes through a terrible ordeal and achieves personal growth because of it. Takes a hard look at how important his family is to him as a result. Wife faces similar reflection on the other side of the same ordeal.
It's really an endearing tale with a personable villian to boot!
Edit: just make sure you get some more FBI guys...

Bruce Willis says it is not a Christmas movie
Bruce is wise.
The actor says it isn't, but the writer and producer say it is, with a comparison chart to White Christmas to boot:
