Just as long as LOVE ACTUALLY doesn't come anywhere near the list. 

OMG hating both The Polar Express AND Love Actually? I am going to finally break your curse, Father Gothel.

pretty 50/50 on love actually. the emma thompson/alan rickman story is very good (they're also the only ones doing the good acting everyone else just cutesy mugging) there's some real bullshit in there though. like the part with the BT guy going to america is all-time bad.

[ShouldIBeHere]

Favourite Christmas movies (and almost yearly re-watches around christmas time): LoTR and Home Alone (1).

Chris I just want you to know:

Fanny and Alexander, Metropolitan, Batman Returns, The Hudsucker Proxy and Carol are others I would add to what I quoted from TalismanRing earlier. (Yeah my definition of a Christmas movie is pretty broad).

[TalismanRing]

I forgot one that I rank very highly and just re-watched for the Animation list

 

Tokyo Godfathers

I know for a fact that BATMAN RETURNS will make @Christmas Baumer's list. He loves that movie to death.

At the top of my Christmas list would be:

 

Goatherding in Blessed Winter

Young Aparajit's Visions of Father Christmas

The Sound of Snow Falling on Wreathes

    and of course

Stigmata of Ecstacy

Goatherding in Blessed Winter is a 1963 Yemeni/British co-production. 

Young Aparajit's Visions of Father Christmas was made in Bengal in 1972. 

The Sound of Snow Falling on Wreathes is a rough translation, but it came out in Cambodia in 1994. 

 

And Stigmata of Ecstacy, a Italian/Spanish/Portuguese exploitation flick from 1975.
