I'm watching "I'll be home for Christmas" currently

It got me thinking; what are some "Christmas Themed" movies avaliable?

Home Alone I and II (my favorites)
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (another of my favorites)
The Santa Clause
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
SnowDogs (a year round movie but it has a winter theme to it)
Miracle on 34 Street


Any more I should think of?

Not really a movie, but filmed like one, is the TV short "The Little Drummer Boy." It's available on DVD now. Simple but beautiful story, it gets to the heart of Christmas.

Sorry for being a bit off track here.

The one's I recently watched aren't exactly "Christmas themed" movies: THE ALAMO and BLACKHAWK DOWN

However, there are only a handful of movies out there that get a rise out of me while getting me choked-up at the same time. Makes me beat back cynicism and feel that there are still things in this world still worth fighting/struggling for.

There was an Osmond Brothers Christmas special from way back in the 70s that I remember enjoying. Their barbershop harmonies on classic Christmas songs were just great. I wish I could find it somewhere in re-runs.

Now that I've seen Christmas Story for the umpteenth time, I'm starting to notice some of the little mistakes and continuity errors in it. :sssh:

When the kids were smaller, we used to watch "Prancer" (the one with Sam Elliot as the father). "Bad Senta" last year. "Serenity" this year, but mostly stuffing our faces or groaning about it afterwards ...
