I really don't get into the classics like "wonderful life", "miracle on 34th street" or "white Christmas" (find that one so boring!) but I do love me "A Christmas Story".

I've never watched It's a Wonderful Life
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42323366
My favorite classics are The Grinch (animated) and Charlie Brown Christmas.
I generally don't watch movies more than once. And that also goes for Christmas movies.
But I did like:
Don't forget Christmas cartoons! I pretty much like all of them, except Charlie Brown ones. I just don't like Charlie Brown, in general. My absolute fave...I don't even know what the title is...but it has the two little bears who don't want to hibernate because they want to meet Santa.
Home Alone is one of my all-time least favorite movies. Christmas or otherwise. I was rooting for the thieves over that obnoxious child. Plus, it's just hard for me to get over the outlandish premise of the whole movie. That no one called the police. Not the child. Not the parents, when they realized they forgot their child. And the fact that they didn't notice he was gone for as long as they did. Mmm..hmm.
That's literally it. I've watched a lot of the others....and it's not like I DISlike them. I just don't love them or care enough about them to make them a holiday tradition.
You know, I've never seen A Christmas Story the whole way though. Bits and pieces on TV, but not the whole thing. Ever.

I enjoy White Christmas and It's A Wonderful Life.
Krampus was terrible!
The one with Alistair Simms is Scrooge (no D).
@Ro041 I've heard people call them both the opposite, hence why I wanted to double check.

I agree Hallmark movies are in their own categories.
Agree Hallmark movies are a separate category, though I don't care for them because they are formulaic and cheesy. But I can understand the love!
My formulaic, cheese love is for the "suspense" Lifetime movies. Where a (teacher, spouse, student, stepparent, stepchild, friend, or coworker) is stalking and terrorizing their (teacher, spouse, student, stepparent, stepchild, friend, or coworker).
BoJack Horseman: Sabrina's Christmas Wish
To be honest, I don't get the fascination with A Christmas Story. I thought it had a few amusing moments, but that was it.
Older/oldest versions (because I'm older/oldest) of....
A Christmas Carol with Reginald Owen
Miracle on 34th Street with Maureen O'Hara
The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant
An Affair to Remember and Meet Me in St. Louis (not "official" Christmas movies but their Christmas scenes are memorable for me.....)
Home Alone (the elderly neighbor gets me EVERY time)
The Santa Claus
Elf
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer...love the Bumble!
Chuck Brown for the music!
@MobKaz, there are four cities I don't think I could ever live in...because of the strong song association in my head, lol. I'll be showing my mom's penchant for torturing me with musicals as a child:
St. Louis, MI -- "Meet Me in St. Louis" -- song from the musical by the same name <<...meet me at the fair. NO! Stop!>>
Gary, IN -- "Gary, Indiana" -- from the Music Man movie
Chattanooga, TN -- "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" -- Don't know where this song comes from, but it haunts me every time I hear the word "Chattanooga"
Cincinnati, OH -- "Cincinnati WKRP" -- theme song to the tv show "WKRP"
I sincerely hope it is just me who gets those songs stuck in my head and I haven't scarred anyone else with this post.
I dont like Miracle or A Christmas Story.
Sorry any Gary people on here. Although...I'm sure you're there because you can't get out.
