Agree with Kalimna & PB, "Muppet Christmas Carol" has to be up there. The other 2 in my top three would be "Scrooged" & "Planes, Trains & Automobiles".

Bill Murray - "The witch hit me with a toaster!" (polite version).

It always used to be 'It's a Wonderful Life' too...used to sit and wrap pressies or write Xmas cards to it.
Over the past few years though I've preferred Love Actually ( in fact I ironed to it yesterday!!!!).

.. also Holiday and Muppet Xmas Carol

Don't really watch films at Christmas (especially not when in Spain, since we don't have the option) but I do remember one Christmas, probably 30 or more years ago (might have been a LOT more) when there was a film on (the same one) on BBC1 and ITV, it was a black-and-white version of Heidi.
If I had to choose a shortlist of favourites, I think it would include most of the Disney Classics (Bambi, Snow White, Fantasia......) but also some of the 'ever-repeated' favourites in the action category, like The Great Escape, War Wagon, all that sort of thing. Not so much for Christmas watching as 'any time there's nothing worth watching on the box'. Oh, and some of the Ealing Comedies (Passport to Pimlico coming high on that page of the list).
There are simply too many great films, mostly old ones!

I don't watch films at Christmas either - and I seem to remember a long spell, several years back, when they showed The Titfield Thunderbolt without fail. Well worth not watching!

Hubby has a massive collection of christmas films. Dont really have a favourite I dont think. There was one I caught years ago on the tv and didnt know the name. I loved it and have never found it since. It was the usual stuff, santa, elves etc. One of the elves became bad and tried to ruin christmas and it had lollipops that made you fly in it. Any ideas?

Scrooge - the Albert Finney musical version (with Alec Guiness, Anton Rodgers and host of familiar British Actors).

I watched it at school in the run up to Christmas when the teachers treated the kids to a film (or to hunger to teach!!!).

I loved it and have watched it every year ever since (at least once).
