1. A Christmas Story
2. The Nightmare Before Christmas
3. Batman Returns (heh... )
4. A Charlie Brown Christmas (sentimental fave, needs vintage Dolly Madison commercials to be really authentic though.)
5. Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer (another sentimental choice)
6. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (original animated story, narrated by Boris Karloff!)
7. Scrooged
8. A Christmas Carol
9. It's a Wonderful Life
10. Futurama Christmas episodes
If only they'd also show the old Kraft food and Mattel toy commercials from my childhood during these, then the warm glowy Christmassy feeling would be complete...

Hey 11th Hour, I'm with you on 4,5 & 6.
Charlie Brown, Rudolf and the Grinch (original versions) are the way to go - no question. But to have the original commercials as well, that would make me feel like the Pillsbury Doughboy. Boris Karloff's naration in the Grinch makes my holiday. The peanut gang dancing to Schroeder's jazz piano and Rudolf's adventure. Only thing better is Zuzu's pedals.
That would be a near perfect Christmas. What would make it perfect you ask. Well, I'm glad you asked - finding "Saffron" under the tree in the morning wearing nothing but some ribbon, Jayne's hat and holding a mug of "Irish" hot chocolate.
Now that's a perfect Christmas.
Atta boy, Clarence!

I agree with pretty much all of the above movies.
But I'd like to add:
-- The Bishop's Wife (1948) with Cary Grant and David Nivens.
I truly truly love Cary Grant. And it really is a touching story.

Edward Scissorhands - I know it isn't technically a Christmas film, but the characters are preparing for it, so the atmosphere is there.
