I like One Magic Christmas with mary Sreenburgen and Harry Dean Stanton. Its not as popular as most of the Christmas movies dragged out every year, which is probably why I like it more. The story does have its dark moments--which my friends and family dont like about it--but its all worth it in the end!!
Nightmare before is Christmas is my favorite (although I don't care about the 3-D) - Tim Burton's best thing ever, followed by Its a Wonderful Life, followed by The Snowman (not Frosty - its a 30 minute animated).
Also, sadly perhaps, I can't help thinking of both the Harry Potter movies and the Lord of the Rings trilogy as Holiday movies, because that's when the cable marathons are running. LOL!
