What is the movie you associate with Christmas, which you simply love watching during this time of the year?

An interesting topic, Machupicchu.
For me I think:
Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang.
I have never liked "The Snowman"- but that's just me.

Great choices, Rob. My top three too.

I would have to warm myself up with three Alastair Sim films!
Scrooge
The Belles of St Trinian's
The Happiest Days of Your Lives

Also like 'Holiday Inn' - which was the debut of the song 'White Christmas' and Meet Me In St Louis for the Christmas scene.

I don't think I know any Christmas movies, so I just read the Main Street books by Ann M Martin.

Gosh, I don't think I know any Christmas movies either!
I have seen a few, but none so memorable that I wanted to watch them every December. But I used to have (probably still do have somewhere) an excellent dramatised audio recording of
A Christmas Carol (on cassette!) — somewhat abridged from the book, but definitely with all the important parts and really beautifully done. I used to listen to that every Christmas eve, and re-read Dickens' original story as well. Haven't read it for some years, but I can still quote whole chunks of it by heart.

Lost Christmas (TV film, 2011) is one of the best, I think. It's emotional and atmospheric and kept me guessing right to the end. Really unusual and moving.

I'm not hugely familiar with Christmas movies, but I saw It's A Wonderful Life about 11 years ago and thought it was one of the most amazing, beautiful films I've ever seen.
Something connected with Christmas I do like is the Tom and Jerry short, The Night Before Christmas. It's very emotional!
