I must admit
I too have a soft spot for Christmas movies. One you failed to mention was Christmas on Sesame Street. A family favourite when our kids were young.

Another great Christmas film is "It's A Wonderful Life".

There are a lot to choose from, and while I've not seen every movie I have seen my fair share. My favorites change all of the time, but I guess I'll just lay down some movies that I will always stop to watch if they come on.

1. Harvey (1950)

2. The Boondock Saints (1999)

3. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

4. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (2005)

5. The Princess Bride (1987)

No particular order here, just movies that I love to watch time and again. If we were talking trilogies or series then I guess I would add Star Wars (OT), Indiana Jones (not the 4th movie), Star Trek (all of them, including the rebooted ones), LoTR, and the Evil Dead trilogy.

Wrath of Khan "KHAAAAN"!!!!
Monty Python and the holy Grail "I wave my private parts at your aunties "
Princess Bride "inconceivable"
Multiplicity (Michael Keaton)"that legs gotta come off Steve"
Hatari (John Wayne) "how do you like to kiss"

No particular order

The Searchers ( John Wayne 1956)

The Lion in Winter, We watch it every year about this time, really captures the Christmas spirit.
Lawrence of Arabia, Epic as epic gets.
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, "Nobody makes a monkey out of Fred C. Dobbs." Love B. Traven.
The Wizard of Oz, That young lady had no business being able to sing like that.
The Last Waltz, Precious time capsule of a brief and golden era.
