Your Top Five Christmas Films


Okay, let's delve into controversy. If you could watch only five Christmas films, what would they be?

 My choices:
  1. The Bishop's Wife (with Cary Grant, David Niven, Loretta Young, and the great Monty Woolley)
  2. A Christmas Story (the Jean Shepherd tale with the best depiction of a father in film)
  3. Home Alone (with home defense and The Kenosha Kickers)
  4. A Christmas Carol (I like almost all of the versions but the George C. Scott one is my favorite)
  5. The Nightmare Before Christmas (for its creativity and music)

    David,

    This may flip some people out but I have never seen that film. I hear it is very good.

    Wow. I'm flipped.:). Not sure I would categorize it as very good, but certainly a classic, in the broadest definition of the term.

    David,

    I'm definitely in a minority on that film.

    Kurt and Larry,

    Most of those are definitely in the unconventional range but you can only watch "It's a Wonderful Life" so many times.
