The fact we celebrate the other tenth of a percent is very generous.

That ratio is only going to get worse each year Hallmark can release an assortment of videos.

My family went to see A Christmas Story back when it first came out, I was twelve or thirteen I think. We walked out, it was so boring. To this day I’ve never seen the whole movie.

Christmas Vacation and Elf are very good movies in my opinion. Also The Juggler of Norte Dame, which doesn’t get a lot of play.

Maybe the original animated Rudolph if you have kids.

Otherwise no, this is a sufficient list.

Rare Exports is excellent, Finnish kids blasting around on snowmobiles with rifles trying to hide from Giant Santa's elves.

As a non holiday guy much at all there are the only 2 approved Christmas movies allowed in my house.

Everything else is bullshit to feed the market and get people in the mode to buy and buy shit.

This one has to be the most underrated character in history. It’s caught meme fame but just because the bits are that good.

There are several funny and introspective movies with Christmas themes but very few I appreciate as a Christian.

Ymmv, a lot.

I love the first "Bad Santa". Obviously not for kids but it's both darkly funny and unexpectedly touching.

I watch it every year. To me it contains the essence of Christmas, with the message that no one is beyond redemption.

Every year my wife and I watch:

Die Hard
Christmas Vacation
Home Alone 1 & 2
Love Actually

That's about it, really. As our son gets a little older, we're starting him on the classics like Rudolph, Grinch, etc.

Die Hard
Lethal Weapon
Gremlins
Scrooged

All Hallmark Christmas movies are the same. City girl escapes life to the country, meets a country boy that’s a multimillionaire and never works, falls in love, possible breakup, the couple makes up, the end.
