You know, I really thought I should have some Xmas tradition movies. I was pretty sure I did. Seemed like there are a million Christmas movies out there. The first Christmas I was married, my wife and I decided we should watch a bunch of Christmas movies. I wanted to revisit all the Christmas movies I grew up with with her. To my surprise when I really got down to it and started racking my brain about all those great classic Christmas movies I grew up with, I realized that "Mickey's Christmas Carol" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" were really the only two I could remember watching as a kid.
So, after this long pointless introduction, my definitive list of Xmas movies:
Mickey's Christmas Carol
Muppet's Christmas Carol (because it is just that awesome)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the real one, not that live action atrocity with that ridiculous famous guy who some people somehow consider to be a comedian)
It's a Wonderful Life
Brazil
The City of Lost Children (yeah, I know that is a stretch, but due to the creepy Santa nightmare sequence at the beginning, I always tend to think of that movie this time of year)
