Just watched the 1947 original, The Bishops Wife. That movie has aged very well. Give it a try.

I also love The Family Man, which is surprising since Cage gets on my last nerve usually.

It ain't the years, its the mileage.

I know, it’s weird, but it reminds me of Christmas.

Die Hard.

And for the family comedies, Jingle All the Way, Home Alone and its sequel. I haven't seen The Ref before and will watch it based on your recommendations.

Christmas Vacation
Fred Claus
Long Kiss Goodnight

Not a Christmas movie but we also watch Boondock Saints.

This year we are also going to watch the Bing Crosby Christmas marathon, I think it is on Get tv.

The other half watches: Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas at least a half dozen times before Christmas eve.

If It's Christmas, it's gotta be It's a Wonderful life. Again.

The Polar Express

I view several before Christmas but the 1951 "A Christmas Carol" or more correctly "Scrooge" with Alistair Sim is a must at the beginning of the season, and to wrap it up.
