You waited till after November 12th, which is good enough for me. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964) has been watched by my family every year I've been alive, but I'm partial to a Charlie Brown Christmas, it is sweet and short.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Err Christmas since I was an infant.

Though for non-traditional movies, I'd say Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban (I first saw it on Christmas, so it's Christmas to me), and that Doctor Who A Christmas Carol special with time travel and the flying fish.

Oh shit boi! Also, The Polar Express!

No! Christmas should never even be spoken of before the beginning of December. In a few years we'll be putting up decorations in March if the current trend continues. Anyway, I very rarely any actual Christmas movies at Christmas, generally enjoying the Doctor Who special and then turning the TV off. Most Christmas movies are just mediocre writing slapped onto a generic storyline.

My main religious choice is Miracle on 34th street. My religious choice is a bit harder as I enjoy many different.t movies of the birth of Christ.

Christmas things post Nov 12 is ok with me.

As for my favorite Christmas movie, Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer 1998.

It's like the 60's movie, but more light hearted.

I really don't remember what movie we watched a few years ago, but it was marvelous, i don't remember the title of the film, can you guys help me out?

I recently found one of the scenes of the movie on Youtube, but the comments, description, or title of the video didn't contain the name of the original film. Here's the link to the scene.

I always watch "A Christmas Story" every year. It seems to get funnier every year, but that's just me.

For some reason, I've never seen a single Christmas movie. Guess I've been watching too much action films.

You need to watch Die Hard. Or be more obvious in your joke making.

I ran out of taste for Christmas movies after 2003, when I realised that Christmas was the same every single year.

I have two favorites:

Die Hard-Obvious choice

Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July- You know all of those stop-motion movies? Basically this one combines all of them together in one. It's like the Christmas Avengers, and it's just insane.

It wasn't a joke. Other than that, I'll go take a look at Die Hard. The name already interests me :p

There's a great twist at the end of Die Hard...
Bruce Willis has actually been a ghost for the whole movie.
