It's (almost) that time of year.  So what are your must-sees and plans for this year?

Thus far I have lined up:
A Charlie Brown Christmas
A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas
A Christmas Story
Scrooged
Christmas in Connecticut
A Christmas Carol (1951 version)
Miracle on 34th Street (1947 version)
Remember the Night
The Man Who Invented Christmas
Joyeux Noël
It Happened on Fifth Avenue

(Sorry about the early start; I'm trying to put my list together before Thanksgiving)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Scrooged
Miracle on 34th Street (1947 version) There is no other.
A Charlie Brown Christmas
A Christmas Story
Midnight Clear when I can find it.
Muppet Family Christmas (from the 80's) preferably the Youtube channel that includes the old commercials.
Smurf's Christmas
The Its Always SUnny in Philly Christmas episode
PDH!

Die Hard - Christmas movie or not?


Already my wife has started watching multiple versions of A Christmas Carol.  So far she's seen the 1938 version, and the creepy 2009 CGI version.

Sav you picked the proper version of A Christmas Carol. That's the only Christmas movie i make a point of watching.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I plan on ignoring the season as much as possible.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Couple that spring straight to mind are It's A Wonderful Life and Muppet Christmas Carol.

Mrs B is watching Die Hard as part of her Christmas movie marathon, so I have my answer.

Not even Lethal Weapon?!

Is it set at Christmas? I don't really remember anything from that movie.

Home Alone is the classic Christmas movie in Korea. So far I've seen that, the original 1966 Grinch that Stole Christmas , and Jingle All the Way.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
