[MK_Wizard]

As it stands right now...

1- How the Grinch Stole Christmas
2- Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
3- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
4- Die Hard (the first one and the only one that's truly canon to me)
5- Netflix's Klaus

I don't watch many X'mas movies... when it comes to festive movies I'm easygoing as long as it can make me feel. (some are really old movies but i love them)

Meet Me in St' Louis (not really a X'mas movie but have X'mas scenes)
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Elf
Miracle at 34th Street (both versions)
Polar Express

[Stargazer31]

I'm not sure about a top five, but my favourite three are:
It's a Wonderful Life
Muppets Christmas Carol
Elf

Okay okay okay

1. Charlie Brown Christmas
2. Elf
3. The Santa Clause
4. The Star
5. Any cheesy Hallmark Christmas romances unless if it’s not corny it has to be okay but not corny.

I also do like Home Alone but it’s not my favorite. It’s mainly nostalgic for me. It’s got a good message.

I don't really like Christmas films and tend to have a low tolerance to Christmas stuff but I do like some of the specials.

• Charlie Brown Christmas
• How the Grinch Stole Christmas
• Richard Williams' Christmas Carol
• A Wish for Wings That Work
• Home Alone

Peewee's Playhouse Christmas special is also really funny. I do also like watching some of the old Simpsons Christmas episodes.

[UrMom]

I got 10. Not in any particular order.

1. Tokyo Godfathers
2. Arthur Christmas
3. Bad Santa
4. Krampus
5. Home Alone
6. The Grinch (The original Dr. Seuss animation and awful Jim Carry one.)
7. Gremlins
8. Rent
9. The Gingerdead Man
10. Nightmare Before Christmas

Honorable mention: Klaus - Would have been perfect if it weren't for that 'Liars Reveal' thing, if the movie were mediocre it wouldn't have been noticeable, but given Klaus is great in every other aspect (imo) that bit was really stupid.

[WildMoonCrow]

I don’t know, I only have one but it’s a Norwegian one, Journey to the Christmas Star, it’s just really nostalgic since I grew up watching it.
I also watch whatever Christmas movies my kids watch.

[stiatent]

only one I could think of really---
The Nightmare B4 Christmas

[Lensing]

I don´t have 5 but I liked nightmare before christmas because it was well done and beautiful to look at,
I also liked the Charlie Brown christmas movie

[SamAndFriends]

We always watched "we're no angels" while decorating the christmas tree. Funny movie about romantic delinquents after prison.
I gues in general cheesy old romantic movies (not particular with romance in them but with old, extravagant costumes)

[powerplantanimations]

I seriously need to see It's a Wonderful Life, but I've only seen the prayer scene and I'm like "I love this". Charlie Brown Christmas is great. Nightmare Before Christmas has excellent themes on corporations bastardizing important holidays, taking away what made them special in the first place. GREMLINS is really awesome.

And my favorite Christmas Carol adaption..... (I started watching this every Christmas... so it counts)

[Mr-Gretto]

1. The Polar Express
2. A Christmas Carol
3. Klaus
4. Bad Santa
5. Foster

I guess I could call The Nightmare Before Christmas too, but honestly, for me it has more of a Halloween atmosphere than Christmas ^^""

[Pony_wearing_a_hat]

1. Muppet Christmas carol, the year without a Santa Claus,
2. Christmas story,
3. The year Without a Santa Claus
4. happiest season
5. Mystery Science Theater Santa Clause vs. The Devil

[AmandaJ-art]

1.Home Alone 2
2.Home Alone 1
3.Grinch
4.My Little Pony: A Very Minty Christmas
5. and I can't name anymore. Just more ... Home Alone.

No Christmas movies have ever been so memorable as these

[darthmongoose]

Do I even like enough Christmas films to fill out a list? Errr....

1. Muppet Christmas Carol - Top tier, best version of the story IMO, top of the list.
2. The Snowman (1982, not the dreadful Detective movie from a few years ago of the same name) - A beautiful work of art, painstakingly animated in pencil crayon to match the original graphic novel to a lovely vocal performance. 25 minutes of pure Christmas magic.
3. Love Actually - Look, this movie is absolute trash, and a couple of the plotlines are actually awful (the one with the guy creeping on Kiera Knightly and the weird one with the guy who goes to America), but it's still somehow one of my favourite Christmas movies.
4. The Nightmare Before Christmas - Unpopular opinion: This is an overrated movie. It's still good though.
5. Jingle All the Way - Pretty much only on this list for the memetic power of Arnie, but it's entertaining!

Honourable mentions that aren't strictly Christmas movies:

Die Hard - It's set at Christmas, but... is it really a Christmas movie? Whatever the case, it's great.

Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers - It's not set at or about Christmas, but it's been on British TV EVERY CHRISTMAS FOR LIKE 25 YEARS. So as far as I'm concerned, this is the most Christmassy damn thing to ever exist. It's also excellent, funny and won an Oscar for good reasons. If I could put it at the top of the list, I would. It's just... not....technically a Christmas movie.

[TAMAnnoying]

Everyone has already stated a lot of good movies and I don't really have a tier list but

Tokyo godfathers 🤌
Elf
Its a wonderful life
Jingle all the way

All of these have been stated already and are all great but the only movie I relate to Christmas that I haven't seen anyone post yet is

Batman and Robin. Is it a really dumb movie? Yes. Is it also the most punny movie in history? Also yes. And so many ice jokes... So... So many.
