My other faves:

"Twas the Night Before Christmas" (the one narrated by Joel Grey, with the family of mice and the big clock... it was my fave as a kid)

Not many people remember this, but this is also a favorite of mine from when I was a kid.

And here's the lyrics so you can sing along!

We take what we want
We do anything that we wish
We got no respect
For animal, birdie, or fish
The grass does not grow
On the places where we stop and stand... WHO?
River Bottom Nightmare Band!
We know we’re a mess
But we do not like to be clean
We don’t brush our teeth
‘Cause our toothaches can help us stay mean (ROARRRR)
We don’t wish to learn
But we hate what we don’t understand (WHO?)
River Bottom Nightmare Band!
When you see us comin’
You better startin’ runnin’
We’re always startin’ trouble
And we’re happiest when things are outta hand
Rivers are for boilin’
Parties are for spoilin’
We either like to sit and pout
Or else go out and terrorize our land
River Bottom Nightmare Band!!!
We laugh in your face
Or we practice our growl and our sneer
We break up your place
We are dangerous when we are near
And when we are done with our song
Who will get the biggest hand?
Who?
River Bottom Nightmare Band!
River Bottom Nightmare Band!

So is "Gremlins," now that you mention it.

Not being a fan of Christmas, I have never seen any of the specials except as a wee lad and I can't remember them. However, for a movie that places one in the Christmas mood, you can't beat Little Women (with Winona Ryder), I have mentioned it before. Also, I would like to see The Nativity Story that came out last year.

The Blackadder Christmas Carol is awesome, then again that show is just awesome all around. I'll find it to watch online if anyone wants to see it.

I caught about the last forty minutes or so of "The Nativity Story" on cable about two weeks ago. It was quite good. I'd like to catch it in its entirety sometime.

Nativity Story
A Christmas Story
Elf
The Grinch (with Jim Carrey)
Santa Clause (1 and 2 with Tim Allen)
Jingle All the Way

Die Hard, Die Hard II
The Grinch (Original)
Charlie Brown Christmas
Larry The Cable Guy Christmas Special (caught that the other night - pretty funny)
The Nightmare Before Christmas (doubles as a Christmas/Halloween movie)
The Santa Clause 1/2

This topic reminds me of the Family Guy Christmas episode, with 'KISS save Santa'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9b6cIahr40 pure genius.

Wait! Wait! Don't give away the ending! Also if anyone tells me how Passion of the Christ and Titanic end I will so mad at you forever.

The Nativity Story was excellent!

Yeah, I thought The Nativity Story was done very well. Perhaps the best "Christ"mas movie they've made.
