    "The Grinch."
    It reminds my daughter and myself of a family member.

    Scrooge, I can't believe nobody has said Scrooge. Surly the ultimate Christmas (not xmas) film, story, musical.

    Respectfully, they are not christmas films are they?

    Christmas films to me are films with a christmas theme, not any old film you might watch at Christmas.

    Otherwise I'd have voted for 'let the right one in' (Swedish version)
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    If i had to pick a classic favourite it'd also be It's a wonderful life, but Scrooged always gets watched here too.

    Introduced my 16 year old to Trading Places on Christmas Eve this year, which i'd say still counts as an Xmas film. Little nervous that it would fall flat but she did like it, although some of the language (negro etc) was a little too 'of the time' for her.
