Nothing required. We almost always watch White Christmas each year, though.

I used to watch Poltergeist every summer on a really hot day but have relaxed in the last year or two.

I'll add another mention for LA Confidential. The only "Christmas" movie I really watch.

I usually work in Serenity for one of the challenges as well.
My 2013 post aged poorly because I haven’t seen any of these in at least a couple years other than the Peanuts stuff.

These days I’ll rewatch The Holiday and maybe Love Actually, but I don’t rewatch stuff as often as I used to.
