Sure enough, the ex must have bought "The Santa Clause". I have it no more.:frowning: Can't believe I didn't replace it last year. Could have sworn I picked it up previously viewed...I'll have to keep my eye open for a good sale price.
Maybe I went crazy and filed it under "T" for "The". I'd better check again to be sure.

f**k me santa!
you figure out which movie i'm talkin' about...

Is it Bad(der) Santa w/ Billy Bob Thornton and Lauren Graham?

 

[Matt Butler]

Is it Bad(der) Santa w/ Billy Bob Thornton and Lauren Graham?

Yep!
Made me want a Santa suit after seeing that flick.

 

[Bill Williams]

For me, I'll probably watch, either in part or in their entirety:

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
A Christmas Carol (TNT version with Patrick Stewart as Scrooge)
A Christmas Story

GREMLINS, one of my fave Christmas movies ever.

 

[Beau]

Reindeer Games. During the season I always settle down and watch this movie with some hot chocolate and some pecan f***in' pie! But seriously, it's a pretty cool Christmas themed action flick.

 

[David Williams]

Wow, 4th post in and I'm the first to mention A Christmas Story? A classic that rightly deserves to be played for 24 hours straight every year.
Since Planes, Trains and Automobiles, a Thanksgiving movie, was mentioned a shout out has to go to an often over-looked gem that my family watches every Turkey Day: Home for the Holidays.

 

[DonnyD]

Holiday Inn.....one of my very favs.......
Yeah, I know it evolves around all the holidays, but the end theme is Christmas....... Great movie and one I always watch during the Christmas season....

 

[Bonnie*F]

Great list!!
How about...
White Christmas (Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby)
The Bishop's Wife (with Cary Grant)
Miracle on 34th Street (Edmund Gwynn and Maureen O'Hara)
The Homecoming: A Christmas Story
A Christmas Story (Darren McGavin and Peter Billingsley)

And of course, Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas

For the animation fix, Rankin-Bass's
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Jack Frost
Frosty the Snowman
The Year without a Santa Claus

Those are the ones I could think of off the top of my head and by doing a quick scan of what I have. If you like Tim Allen's The Santa Clause, you might want to take a look at The Snata CLause 2. I haven't seen it - not a big fan of Allen's - but other people have enjoyed it.

I second a lot of what's been named already. Here are some more:

Scrooged
Elf
Scrooge
Christmas in Connecticut
Mickey's Christmas Carol
Jingle All the Way
Recess: Miracle on 3rd Street

 

[Justin_S]

Black Christmas is without a doubt the best IMO. It's anything but jolly though.
I also love Bad Santa and Christmas Vacation, and like Gremlins and Christmas Evil. Jingle All the Way with Schwarzenegger is dumb fun.
