There are so many classics and we've all watched them a ton of times. You old codgers, how many times have you watched the original Miracle on 34th Street or It's a Wonderful Life? I've watched them plenty and I'm 28.
If you had to pick just one Christmas movie to watch for the rest of your life every December, what would it be?
I have a few all-time favorites that I won't go a Christmas without:

Die Hard (It is a Christmas movie, don't say otherwise), Bad Santa and Scrooged.
But ... if I had to choose just one, it would be National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

My family traditionally watches two movies each Christmas:
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Elf (more recent addition to the tradition)

My must watch movies for the holidays are...
1) Scrooged

2) A Christmas Story

3) The Grinch

4) Die Hard

5) The Muppets Christmas Carol
One of my favourite lines from "A Christmas Story": Some men are Baptists, others Catholics; my father was an Oldsmobile man!

Christmas Story is so iconic now, I have no link to the era except having a "Red Ryder". Its a wonderful memory for me too.
White Christmas is also a must for me...Danny Kay is a fav of mine.

Christmas Eve it is always 'White Christmas' and "A Christmas Carol' with George C. Scott playing Scrooge. If I were limited to one, it would be a Christmas Carol, it is the classic Christmas story, and might have been Dickens best delivered social criticism.

Forgot about that one. Not a must for me, but I do like it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one here who would take a Christmas comedy over the more tried-and-true classics.

This really isn't a "movie".

But, it does have a redeeming Christmas message, and pipes.

Christmas Story hands down also!

Honorable mention to Holiday Inn. Has Bing, pipes, and better then White Christmas (but still has the song)

If you like Christmas comedy then check out a song by The Pogues called "Fairytail of New York" for a luagh. Make sure the kids and Mom aren't in the room. lol

I think I will have to go with Home Alone. All the ones already listed are classics, but I love watching Home Alone with all the nieces and nephews!
