Christmas movies/TV shows recommendations

[FearM9]

Ehhhh I'm usually a grinch this time of the year, but I'm a sucker for TV shows and movies with a Christmas theme. So I need to start loading up the Netflix queue.

So far I've got....

Christmas Vacation
Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
SNL Xmas
Xmas with the Simpsons
Elf

I'm the only one that probably doesn't care too much for "A Christmas Story".

I tend to favor comedies or action movies. Not a fan of heavy dramas.

What other DVD's am I missing?

There's always Die Hard and Home Alone.

"Ernest Saves Christmas"

By far the best Ernest movie with some clever lines. Bonus points if you get the version where the "put Christ back into Christmas" bumper sticker is displayed (cut in all televised versions).

"Call it a 'fifth' sense".

Can't go wrong with Lubitsch.

Produced for Comic Relief one year in the UK. Done by a bunch of the production staff from Aardman Animations (Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run) and starring a bunch of famous Brits as voice actors (Robbie Williams, Jane Horrocks, David Attenborough, Ricky Gervais, etc) although I think there's an American dubbed version with people like Ben and Jerry Stiller. The famous Rudolph's good-for-nothing son wants to make the all-star sleigh team.

Absolutely hilarious.

Muppet Christmas Carol.

In fact... I watch as many A Christmas Carols as I can. Lots of good ones out there. This one's the funniest, I think.

and

Some of the lines in those movies are just classic...

The animation is primitive and the voice work sounds like it was all done in one take, but the soundtrack and the soliloquy by Linus make this a classic.
