November 7, 201411 yr I've had that discussion before... as to whether a movie taking place at Christmas is a "Christmas Movie". I've lost it. The best Christmas movie is "Die Hard". To me Christmas has to be an integral aspect of the plot. Just taking place at Christmas would not qualify.

November 7, 201411 yr A couple old made for TV half hour shows that I enjoyed but were kind of sad were Peege and Mr. Krueger's Christmas. Peege starred Jeanette Nolin and involved a family visiting their failing grandmother in a nursing home where the grandson reminisces about how she was when she was younger. Mr. Krueger's Christmas has Jimmy Stewart as a lonely old man also reminiscing/fantasizing about Christmas and his life.
November 7, 201411 yr 1. It's a Wonderful Life...nothing else is close (Sorry Randy you are at least second) 2. A Christmas Story...I watch it start to finish 2 or 3 times a year, 3. Home Alone 4. Home Alone 2 (Makes the List for the Throwing Brick scene alone) 5. Miracle on 34th Street...I'm kind of an old school guy
December 25, 201411 yr This one just occurred to me: Three Days Of The Condor. It takes place during the Christmas season. The Salvation Army Band plays "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" at the beginning of the movie, and at the very end.
