What movies are a tradition for you to watch during the holidays?

I always watch Christmas Vacation and Die Hard, along with the Charlie Brown specials for Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas. Home Alone is also on the list. I've "retired" Christmas Story, just because I've seen it so many times (seems like TBS has it on a loop throughout December).

So what are your annual Holiday movies?

We used to watch A Christmas Story every year, I think I'm gonna try and get the family to watch Love Actually instead.

A Christmas Story can go rot in fucking hell. I fucking hate that movie. It's so goddamn annoying.

Lethal Weapon & L.A. Confidential are my favorite non-traditional Christmas movies.

I try to watch Die Hard around Christmas. I'm glad many others around here feel the same way.

I always end up watching Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story a few times as well. To me, it's not Christmas without seeing bits and pieces of those two movies several times on the lead up to Christmas.

Jules Winfield

Scrooged

Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas(cute as shit special I caught on Netflix instant last year)
And I've only seen it once but I might have to add Rare Exports into the mix this year.

story

When I was a teenager / young adult, I convinced my family of origin we should watch The Ref and Scrooged. We alternated between the two / created a double feature sometimes. I personally watched Die Hard a lot, too. I don't have any of them on blu ray or even DVD, save The Ref. They always seem too expensive, especially if I don't think about them until near Christmas when they're going to be more expensive, anyway. One of these days.

Die Hard and Gremlins are the only must-watch holiday films for me. Scrooged is a good one, too.
