Life of Brian. The Monty Python movie about a guy who is born on the same night on the same street as the baby Jesus, and accidentally comes to be regarded as someone great despite being a shlub. Hilarious! :7
Not unlike The Tall Blonde Man With One Black Shoe in which a bumbling, ordinary chap is mistaken for an important international spy and followed everywhere. Also hilarious, but Life of Brian is better for Christmas.

Christmas Story and The Grinch (the original though, not the remake with Jim Carrey). And for all you Grinch lovers, it is on tonight @8:00.

I love them all!! Another one not mentioned is Elf w/ Will Ferrell. That movie CRACKS me up!!
It's a Wonderful Life is probably my fav but I do love A Christmas Story & of course Christmas Vacation. And I love watching Polar Express & Charlie Brown Christmas, & Frosty w/ my kids. Oh, and Home Alone, but we watch that one year-round! See, too many good ones! ;-)

A Christmas Story!! So funny! I can't believe there are still people who haven't seen it (my DH included until last year)! I have threatened to get him the "leg lamp" - his Major Prize!!

Edie, I got my dad the leg lamp for Xmas last year & he just about died. He's Jewish but he grew up in the '40s/50s so he just adores a Christmas Story & has actually seen Gene Shephard speak (read?) at Princeton U a few times.
I think it was the best gift I ever got him. Certainly it was the best reaction to a gift I ever saw. He thought it was from Italy (JK!). And yes, it is prominently displayed in his front window.

Another vote for "A Christmas Story"--I leave the marathons on TV when I go to bed. Going to sleep with it on and waking up with it on feels so Christmas-y to me.

I can't make it through A Charlie Brown Christmas without bawling. You know the scene where everyone makes fun of the scrawny tree? It's all over for me when Linus says "It's not a bad little tree really" and wraps his blanket around it. <<<WAAHHHHH!>>>
