It's a Wonderful Life is not only a wonderful Christmas film, it's also a wonderful film, period. It certainly is my favorite movie, hands-down.

As to other Christmas films, the now-classic A Christmas Story shouldn't be overlooked, nor should variants of Dickens' tale, or even from the small screen, "A Charlie Brown Christmas."

By the way, our family saw Elf and enjoyed it a great deal: funny, well-made, well-written, terrific casting, it's a must. For those who enjoyed the ol' Rankin & Bass holiday specials from the 60s, you're in for an extra treat.

Lets not forget the all time classic "Frosty the Snowman"

Great for ALL kids of any generation

Agree with you on ELF cast except Ed Asner as Santa. He was not a jolly old Santa but a miserable frowning newspaper editor.

For a Christmas movie I liked Tree. {it might have been a made for TV}

The Heat Miser from "The Year Without A Santa Claus" is awesome.

My favorite line from "A Christmas Story" is when mom drops dad's Christmas gift, a bowling ball, onto his lap.

"Oh look, a blue ball". Went right over my head until the third time I saw it.
