I would choose 4, 5, and 10.
I have to add that most of these saccharine-sweet holiday message movies have become tedious and annoying to me.
What we need is a couple of good old-fashioned Christmas thrillers or murder mysteries.

I've seen 10 about 50 times. Although the finale takes place at Christmastime, it's not really a Christmas movie. Same for 11.
I've only seen bits and pieces of the others as I don't have the patience to sit through something like "Elf".

None from this list, actually, but enjoy any of the Christmas Carol movies...favorite is with Patrick Stewart. And Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol *who remembers THAT one?

Well, like Marie, I'd rather choose none from this list, my fave Christmas movies are actually The Ref starring Denis Leary, Scrooge (1951, Alistair Sim), and A Chrismas Carol (1984, Geo. C. Scott); but from this list, it'd be 1, 7, and 11.

There is a pretty good one with George C. Scott as Scrooge.

1, 7, 9 and 11. Then again, we love a Christmas movie with lots of humor in it and, of course, the action of #11.. We own, and watched last night (again) #1 while drinking an eggnog enhanced with some very good rum. Only time we watch black/white movies is when they are Westerns.

I don't like any "Christmas" movies.. I used to like "It's A Wonderful Life" but finally got sick of it.
However, I do like the Thanksgiving movie "What's Cooking".

I almost agree; Sim is tied for 1st place along with Geo. C. Scott for me.

It seems like every year we watch White Christmas (Bing Crosby) and often An American Christmas Carol (Henry Winkler). Have both on DVD.

I still enjoy The Bishop's Wife and The Bells of St. Mary's.

Getting a little tired of #1 but I have to say I'll watch bits of it every time it's on TV and that scene at the beginning with the truck is priceless.

"It's a Wonderful Like" and " The Bishop's Wife". I haven't seen most of them above.
