A recent poll somewhere revealed the top 10 Christmas films are:
1. It's a Wonderful Life (1946) 17.83%
2. The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) 10.19%
3. Love Actually (2003) 7.57%
4. Elf (2003) 5.94%
5. Home Alone (1990) 5.73%
6. Miracle on 34th Street (1994) 4.92%
7. White Christmas (1954) 4.21%
8. Die Hard (1988) 4.1%
9. Scrooge (1951) 3.68%
10. Santa Claus (1985) 3.18%
Personally, I have never seen Love Actually as I cannot stand Hugh Grant and Martine McCutcheon, and am not a fan of Home Alone.
I would replace them with Scrooge the musical with Albert Finney, and Scrooged with Billy Murray.
I too am not sure why Die Hard is considered as a "Christmas" film. If it can be considered as one, then IMHO, Trading Places should also be considered as one, as I believe it has a stronger Christmas theme and it is a great film.
My top 3 would be:
It's A Wonderful Life
The Muppet Christmas Carol
Scrooged

1. Wonderful Life (1946 all time favourite)
2. Miracle on 34th Street (1947) Brilliant!
3. Loads of other "proper" Christmas films mostly in black and white. But including the Muppets Christmas Carol and perhaps Grinch. (and loads I've missed)
4. Any film that is about Christmas.
But NOT... Home alone (any)???  Lethal weapon! Die Hard? In fact, no violent films at all, even if they pay lipservice to Christmas! |
