It's not Christmas time in my house until Kevin Mcallister gets left home alone.
tremendously underrated Christmas movie - Just Friends
Wanted to purchase last year but it sold out after someone seeming purchased 4 at once. This year I can't even afford!
ummmm hey guys... U all forget about me?

This and Christmas Vacation. End of thread.
Don't know why the 80s rocked Christmas comedies so hard, but they did.
It took my some time to notice that this is the same actor who played the leader of the college kids in Breaking Away.
Jackie Earle Haley has had quite the career. Dennis Quaid also in Breaking Away, as was Daniel Stern (Home Alone). Terrific movie made almost entirely on the campus of U of Indiana.
Meh. I really prefer Christmas Vacation for a Christmas comedy.ummmm hey guys... U all forget about me?
The old Christmas Carol movie with Reginald Owen as Scrooge.
Great supporting cast with Gene & Kahtleen Lockhart as Mr. & Mrs. Cratchit (June Lockhart's parents), Anne Rutherford as the Ghost of Christmas Past and Leo G. Carroll as Marley.
After almost 80 years still a classic.

Saw on the news somewhere New Yorkers voted "It's A Wonderful Life" as the best Christmas movie ever. New Jerseyeans voted "Elf" the top Christmas movie.
My favorite as a kid. Klondike Cornelius was the man. He would stick his pick in the snow and taste the snow to see if there was any gold. Always wanted him to say "Tastes like chicken!"
We have watched Polar Express every year, since 2004, after Xmas brunch with mom in law. She will be 100 next month. Tom Hanks does the voice of the conductor, father, hobo, scrooge and Santa Claus. I just found it..... still in the DVD player! Happy Holidays and good health to all.
Haha I knew that didn't look right, it's Yukon. Little known fact, he actually wasn't licking his pick to taste for silver or gold. He was actually searching for peppermint. There's a deleted scene where he tosses the pick, picks it up, licks it and exclaims "peppermint! It's what I've been searching for my entire life! I found the peppermint mine!!!". The special hasn't aired with that scene included since the 60s which is why most people assume that ol' Yukon has the ability to taste for gold or silver (or "silver and gold, silver and gold").
A Muppet Christmas Special. Has The Muppets, Fraggle Rock, and Sesame Street all in it.
Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas was resurrected last year as part of ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas. It had been so long since it last aired, I had begun to think I hadn't actually watched it as a kid back in the 80's on HBO. But it did exist.
Though technically not a movie don't forget "A Charlie brown Christmas". Love the scenes with the mangly tree and Snoopy/Woodstock decorating their houses.
I have always felt that the villain is more important than the hero. Alan killed it in this one.
