So sad, not a single movie listed is about the birth of our savior, Jesus.

How about the TV movie musical ‘The Littlest Angel’ aired in the late 1960′s or early 1970′s? It starred Johnny Whitaker as the angel, Fred Gwynne, E.G.Marshall as God, Cab Calloway, Connie Stevens, and Tony Randall. The music was gorgeous and the story was delightful.

I would put “Christmas in Conneticut” near the top of the list and add “It Happened on Fifth Avenue” a lesser known movie to the list.

Scrooge (1951) did make the list. It is #10.

Do miss seeing “Scrooge” 1951 on the list. Great early film.

Robin ……”How about the episode of Seinfeld? “Festivus for the rest of us!” Classic…”

What?!? "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" didn't make the cut? I realize this is a "Best" list, but still, SCCtM is so bad it's good. Especially after half a bowl of spiked eggnog... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkEumP828D4

I agree with Robert above – Holiday Inn and Christmas in Connecticut should have made the list. Holiday Inn wasn’t exclusively Christmassy – it was about all holidays, but it was the introduction of Bing Crosby singing White Christmas. For that alone, it stands alone. Plus, it’s a fun movie.

I also agree with John about “A Christmas Story”. It’s cheesy, tacky and not that darned amusing, so I don’t get the affection for it.

But the fact that Miracle on 34th Street topped the list gives me hope!

Oh yeah, two words… Home Alone. So good.

My family and I watch both A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation almost every holiday. It is some sort of family tradition, I guess, so I support them making the cut.

I’m sure many will disagree, but I also liked the Will Farrell comedy Elf.

And what about the “Nightmare before Christmas?” That was also I movie I treasured during my childhood.

“The Lion in Winter” is a holiday tradition in my family. Henry II, his scheming queen and ambitious sons give the Griswolds a run for their money in family dysfunction.

Eleanor: “How dear of you to let me out of prison.”
Henry II: “It’s only for the holidays.”

My favorite is the Muppet Christmas Carol, with consideration being given to Bad Santa.

Several films have been made about the birth of Jesus but they aren’t included in Christmas movie lists because they really aren’t intended to be “entertainment.” By itself, the nativity might make a good movie, but it only takes on meaning when it involves the rest of Jesus’ life. Now, if the Post ever makes a list of Best Easter Movies, we might get different results.

After I saw Scrooged with Bill Murray, I knew that it was the best Christmas movie of all time.
