Others are:

I love A Year Without a Santa Claus. Also The Little Drummer Boy used to be one of my favorites, you just don't see it on T.V. very often anymore.
Actually, I like all of the Rankin-Bass Christmas Specials.
My favorite movie has to be It's a Wonderful Life.

I have still never seen Home Alone, only because I have seen clips from the movie and it did not appeal to me.

no, you're not.
i preferred "baby's day out." at least it had the courage to be overtly ridiculous.

it's hard to keep up with the plot once the movie's gotten started, i find.
actually, i started watching voyage to the planet of prehistoric women halfway through today, and i caught up just fine.
