So many of my favorites have already been mentioned: The Bishop's Wife, Christmas in Connecticut, White Christmas and The Man Who Came to Dinner.

But I also love these, especially the first (can't beat Irving Berlin):

And Holiday Inn's gotcha covered all year long...and even has three New Year's Eves. The way it zips along, it's hard to realize the plot covers a two-year saga.

Berlin really piled 'em on for this one; no fewer than 15 songs. Pound for pound, it delivers more than any musical Astaire or Crosby ever made, and the script's pretty snappy too. If I had one complaint, it would be that I'd have liked to see more of the feisty and fickle Lila; I really enjoy Virginia Dale. She had some of the same combative spark that made Ginger such a great partner for Fred.
