Trading Places (1983) - A hilarious comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. Oh and another rendition of the drunken Santa Claus. A timeless holiday comedy.
Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas (1977) - Master muppeteer Jim Henson directs this gentle 1977 made-for-TV tale about a mother otter and her son who both enter a talent show to win money to buy Christmas presents for each other. Wonderful family entertainment.
The Polar Express (2004) - Adapted from Chris Van Allsburg's Caldecott Medal winning children's book of the same name. If you can see past the creepy computer-generated characters with crossed-eyes, this one's pretty good. The animation is spectacular as it features a rousing song and dance number in the train's dining car as well as a truly harrowing runaway train sequence.
Meet Me In St. Louis (1944) - Judy Garland stars in this musical masterpiece about the trials and tribulations of a tight-knit family living in St. Louis on the eve of the 1904 World's Fair. Among its many musical melodies, it counts Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and Auld Lang Syne.
Santa Claus: The Movie (1985) - Dudley Moore and John Lithgow will win your heart in this wonderful story of how Santa got his powers and why he was chosen to deliver toys to all the children of the world. A fun movie for everyone - 6 to 60.
Scrooged (1988) - The soundtrack, set dressing, and costumes all come together beautifully to leave viewers in a happy and joyous holiday mood. By the way, also contains one of the best quotes from a Christmas movie - "I never liked a girl well enough to give her twelve sharp knives."
Gremlins (1984) - The '80s produce another good one. What began as a furry, cuddly Christmas present turns out to be one of the most destructive creatures when conditions are just right. Perfect choice as a kids first scary movie.
Die Hard (1988) - New York City Detective John McClane has just arrived in Los Angeles to spend Christmas with his wife... unfortunately, it is not going to be a Merry Christmas for everyone.
