Aside from Serenity, what movies will y'all be watching during this yule tide season?

My wacky X-Mass movie list:

Die Hard- "NOW I HAVE A MACHINE GUN HO HO HO"
Die Hard 2- "John, why does this keep happening to us?"
Gremlins- "Hey, you're not a Rockin' Ricky fan...AUGHHHHH"

I am a sick puppy...

I've got little patience for Christmas movies, I'm afraid. I'm not a humbug, they just all get so formulaic.

My top 3:

The Muppets Christmas Carol ('Cause the Muppets are always good for a laugh.)
Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz ('Cause nothin' says Christmas like giant mecha going to war in a european city-scape.)

And this year, my most-looked-forward-to bit of holiday programming:
Dr. Who: The Christmas Invasion

My Christmas movies?

Die Hard, of course.

A Christmas Story. I've watched it a thousand times, and I'll watch it a thousand more.

Home Alone/2. It's just fun seeing someone throw bricks at Joe Pesci. Merry Christmas.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martains is fast becoming a perennial. Especially the MST3K version.

Also, has anyone ever heard of a war movie called A Midnight Clear? Gary Sinise, Ethan Hawke. Believe it or not, it's a Christmas movie. Set in World War II. It's worth checking out if you can find it.

I used to include Lethal Weapon, but I have developed 'big hair' issues. Wrath Of Khan is the same way for me...

Can't be Christmas without "It's a Wonderful Life". I think I've seen it 50 times. Also, "A Christmas Story". I've seen it just as much as laugh just as hard at "You'll shoot your eye out!"

Just the usual family all-together film:
"Muppets Christmas Carol"
and The Grinch That Stole Christmas (The original animated feature, not the crap with the guy who reminds me of my stalker)

Sounds like it's time to break out your sword; there can be only one.

I left out Charlie Brown Christmas and The Snowman with my family...
