I love Christmas movies. They are not always the best movies but I can watch them just because of the season. But I refuse to watch Polar Express.. Everything I have seen of it looks awful.. Just awful.
I like all others up on that list.. Well I have a hot take but first...
Other favs
Scrooged
Four Christmases (Anything with Vince Vaughn and John Favreau is a winner for me)
Daddy's Home 2 (I have seen this get hate.. I think the cast is great and thought it was funny.. Last 20 min could have been cut though)
I like the remake of Miracle of 34th street also.
Fred Clause (Vince baby!)
Lethal Weapon
First Blood
Now my Hot take..
I don't think A Wonderful Life is a very good Christmas movie.
Hardly any of the film takes place at Christmas. There is no Christmas music except for 1 or 2 songs at the end.
My one friend thinks its the best Christmas movie and it drives him nuts that I think Die Hard is a better Christmas movie. But I tell him the film has Christmas Music though the whole film.. Christmas music is in the score itself.. It even snows (paper) at the end
Now I have been watching Die Hard ever December for years so I have programed myself to think of it as Christmas but the film goes out of its way to remind you that its christmas..
Its a Wonderful life... Meh.. Its a good movie but not much of a Christmas film IMO.
No offence to the fans
