3. Works for me. n/t

I said, n/t.

4. Just watching that movie has helped keep me sane. (More than once) and "Home for the Holidays" is

great for when family gets to be too much at Thanksgiving.

**I do adore "A Christmas Story" because it was so well cast.

5. A Christmas Story!

Everyone knows that is the correct answer!

(Though my all-time favorite movie is considered a Christmas movie. It's a Wonderful Life)

6. Guess I'm a conservative at heart: "It's a Wonderful Life"

"The money's in YOUR house, and YOUR house, and YOUR house!"

Maybe it's because my life more closely resembles "The Ref" et cetera that I prefer the positive ones.

8. I have a theory.

A fair number of us experienced family Christmases more like those in The Ref, The Lion in Winter, and A Christmas Story than the warm and fuzzy types depicted in some of the classics.

That said, most Christmas movies revolve around a conflict, dilemma, or sometimes even a sad situation -- The Bishop's Wife, Christmas in Connecticut, even While You Were Sleeping etc. -- that is resolved at the conclusion.

7. "White Christmas" with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye

It just isn't Christmas if that movie isn't shown.
