I'm trying to build a collection of Christmas movies from the 80's that I used to watch as a child.

Here is what I have so far:

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Christmas Eve on Sesame Street
Smoky Mountain Christmas
One Magic Christmas (amazing movie!!)
Santa Claus, The Movie
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

Any other suggestions??

Thanks!  :)

There was one from the late 80's called Prancer w/ Sam Elliot

And I'm sure there was a more recent version than the 90's one. 

What was the one with Santa Claus as a serial murderer?

That would be "Silent Night, Deadly Night".

Another movie with Santa Claus as a killer was "To All A Goodnight". From what I remember not that bad of movie.

"Trains, Planes, and Automobiles"

Even though this was not technically a "Christmas" movie, it still had the holiday feeling to it.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is a very funny movie!  ;D

Del... Why did you kiss my ear?
Why are you holding my hand?
Where's your other hand?
Between two pillows...
Those aren't pillows!

;D

That scene always cracks me up  ;D

i love the scene where del is selling the shower curtain rings and is making up all sorts of stories what they are

I love it when he washes his face in the sink and finds those HUGE GIGANTIC Y-FRONTS!!! Eeeuuuuwww!

this movie has a very touching and poignant scene when del is thrown out  and is sitting on the curb by himself with nowhere or woone to go to

How about these:

Lethal Weapon
Die Hard

Not really christmas movies, but they are both set around Christmas Time. 

A Christmas Story was very good My favorite scene was Ralphie and his dad was fixing the tire and then I think the Tire Iron was lost the kid said a cuss word for the longest time the father had this puzzle look at his face then the father got in the car the mother asked what happend then the father went to her ear and told her what he said and she went arounbd quickly the on the Next scene he had a bar of soap in hs mouth and she asked him where he heard it and the kid told her was one of his friends them the mother called the other mother and told her what happend you could hear at the other end of the telephone that she was hitting the kid on the phone and the kid's friend was crying during it

Gremlins revolved around Christmas. I loved when the Mom blew the Gremlin up in the microwave, and killed another in the stand mixer while baking cookies.....lol. ;D

Yeah, I loved that scene, and even the aftermath when they both got up and started trying to bring back their masculine side by talking about sports and such, lol.

That's true.

Yeah, the gremlin in the microwave exploding always cracked me up.  ;D

The He-man & She-ra Christmas movie LOL ;D. No seriously i enjoyed it very much as a kid.
Skeletor actually cracks a smile at the end when he is overwelmed by the spirit of Christmas, which looks really goofy because it doesn't look like his actual smile with the jaw, it looks more like a goofy jackolantern smile that looks like something a little kid drew over the top of his real mouth LOL. One of the funniest things i've seen recently while reliving old childhood TV shows & cartoons, i almost wet myself. ;D

The He-man & She-ra Christmas movie - that's just been released on dvd... will have to track it down as have no recollections of it.

I remember on the Disney Channel they'd air that 1965 version of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Cinderella" starring Leslie Ann Warren. I use to absolutely LOVE watching that on Christmas day every year. My brother use to want to puke because it was so saccharin. I still have a fondness for it and I swear I haven't seen it since at least 1991 or 1992. I think I need to buy it or rent it, just for old times sake  :)
