I don't exactly have favourites, but I love A Christmas Carol (my favourite is probably the one with George C. Scott, but I've enjoyed every version we've watched).
We watch It's a Wonderful Life every year. I like it okay, but it's dh's favourite.
Since Aaron, I love Elf - I think that movie, more than anything else, got me through the weeks after he died.
And, personally, I adore The Ref...not exactly a Christmas movie, but not exactly not a Christmas movie, either. It's not child friendly. I let my kids watch a lot of stuff that's probably not age appropriate, but only ds1 (who is almost 20) can watch The Ref.
I also really enjoy The Santa Clause, Miracle on 34th Street (I like the original one better, but the ...was it 80s?...version is good, too),
As part of my activity advent calendar, every Friday night in December is Christmas movie night. We'll definitely watch It's a Wonderful Life. We'll almost certainly watch A Christmas Carol. The kids will probably pick the other one - I'm guessing they'll opt for Elf. We may watch a few others over the season, as well.
