oh boy,  I could come up with a large list here.   I don't watch them all every year as there is just too many.   I alternate.

Movies:

A Christmas Carol(Alastair Sim, George C. Scott, and Patrick Steward versions, I may have to day the new animated Disney version.  I don't like the added action scenes, but even with them, it is one of more accurate versions I've seen)

Scrooge(the Musical starring Albert Finney)
(yes, I am a big fan of the story A Christmas Carol.  I highly recommend that everyone should really the Book.  I try to read it every year as this time.)

Miracle On 34th Street(the original)

Its A Wonderful Life

The Lemon Drop Kid(its where the song Silver Bells comes from)

White Christmas(I have a tradition of watch this one at midnight on Thanksgiving to officially start the Christmas season. )

The Bishop's Wife

It Happened on Fifth Avenue

Die Hard's 1 and 2

(at some point, I intend to get "The Nativity Story" and add that to the list)

TV specials:

Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer

Frosty The Snowman

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

Twas The Night Before Christmas.

A Chipmunk Christmas

If I could, I'd like to get a hold of the original Looney Tunes and Disney Christmas specials that aired when I was a kid. 

I could probably add more to the list, but that is enough for now.
