I always make a point of watching A CHRISTMAS STORY, MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL, and DIE HARD, as well as the Charlie Brown and Grinch cartoons.
Also love SCROOGED, MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET (original), and the "Night of the Meek" episode from Twilight Zone.

Die Hard, since it's action packed, plus it's around Christmas!

Everyone should see this one from the director of Rec. It's f**king great.

The Christmas Tale (2008) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450827/
It was apart of the Spanish "6 films to keep you awake" TV series

Despite being the 1 in every 100 humans, I actually like the live action Grinch movie. It's pretty enjoyable to me despite some of the issues it has.

Also, really enjoy The Muppets Christmas Carol. While I enjoy just about every verison of Christmas Carol, The Muppet verison is my personal favorite.

I may have to check that one out. I love Spanish horror & REC gave me some genuine scares.

I'm not a fan of A Christmas Carol. I've seen it to many times, and I just don't think it's as powerful a tale as it's been built up to be.

That being said, I love Scrooged. I think it's the one Christmas movie I make it a point to watch year after year. Bill Murray's eventual redemption, and especially the final song really get to me. It's my one and only Christmas necessity.

Damnit, this was my answer, verbatim.

I like to do a double feature of the Black Christmas movies.

I was gonna say the original, but after seeing the remake I'd probably gouge my eyes out seeing that one again.

Scrooged and Die Hard 1.
