A Christmas Carol (2009), Die Hard, Batman Returns, The Polar Express, A Christmas Story, Home Alone, The Year Without a Santa Claus, It's a Wonderful Life, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (animated classic), and A Christmas Carol (George C. Scott version).
Christmas movies really get to me. I love most of them, even if they're awful.
