Any Good Christmas Movies?

Christmas time at last! Besides the cold snowy, icy weather, Christmas is my favorite time of year and I love to watch classic movies and classic TV/cartoon shows. I know it's a bit juvenile, but I just put on Beauty And the Beast The Enchanted Christmas I had on Blu-Ray.

Anyway, does anyone know of any good Christmas movies or TV shows or TV episodes? Let's exclude the following, because I already have them:

A Christmas Story
I'll Be Home For Christmas - Jonathan Taylor Thomas version
The Santa Clause 1 - 3 with Tim Allen
Pee-Wee's Christmas Special
A Christmas Carol (1984, George C. Scott)
Beauty and the Beast The Enchanted Christmas
Home Alone 1, 2
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Bad Santa 1, 2 (UNRATED)
Christmas With The Kranks
Deck The Halls
Edward Scissor-Hands
Jingle All The Way 1, 2
Look Who's Talking Now

Anyone know of anything outside of the above movies that are good and classical (pre-2000)?

- Rugrats: The Santa Experience (1992)
- A Garfield Christmas (1987)
- Simpsons: Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire (1989)

Those are the three I always recall. I'm not even nostalgic or grew up with them; They're just wholesome 80s-90s Christmas cartoons that I vibe with.

There are two types of people in the world, those who think that Die Hard is a Christmas movie and those who are wrong.

It’s not Christmas until you see Bruce Willis jump off the roof of Nakatomi Tower.

Yeah, I came to say Gremlins. It's a comedic horror film, naturally, but there's a whole lot of emphasis on Christmas, some of which genuinely cozy.

I know it was listed but Jingle All The Way will always be the goat Christmas movie to me. So funny.

I used to have a massive list of Christmas stuff to watch and read every December, but life is too busy now. But so far this year my son and I have watched:

TMNT 2003 “The Christmas Aliens”
Pokemon “Holiday Hi-Jynx” and “Snow Way Out”
Johnny Bravo Christmas
Power Rangers “Dreaming of a white ranger”
Mickey’s Christmas Carol
The Real Ghostbusters “Xmas marks the spot” (which features the late great Peter Reneday as Scrooge)


Still on my list:

Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas
Rugrats “The Santa Experience”
Hey Arnold Christmas
Charlie Brown Christmas
Plus a couple baby things he likes. Thomas and Friends, Llama llama.

Nightmare Before Christmas
Muppets Christmas Carol(Any versions of Christmas Carol)
Die Hard
Violent night(If you wanna see Santa kick some ass)

Also why do you have Jingle All The Way 2 that movie is terrible. That movie has nothing to do with the first one at all

Thanks for your help. Yeah, some of those I'd watch and some I don't find right for Christmas like Violent Night (which my sister made me watch last Christmas). I liked Violent Night, but I didn't find it appropriate for Christmas, because it felt like a Halloween movie. In fact, I don't care for the kind of Christmas movie that cross with Halloween.

I do have Mickey's Christmas Special. In fact, when I was a year or so old my mom recorded it for me and that, I thought, was the only version of A Christmas Carol there was, until I saw another version in 1993.

I have Jingle All the Way 2, because 2 years ago I saw it for the first time and I thought it was funny, because Larry The Cable Guy. It kind of is related to the first; a father trying to get the impossible-to-get toy for his child and going to extreme lengths to get it.

I'm a little embarrassed to say, but why should I when some of you guys mentioned The Rugrats and other kiddy cartoons?; I also like The Care Bears Nutcracker Suite. My all time favorite Care Bear is Grumpy Bear.
