Thought I would get this one in, you know before Christmas, also there's a recent argument whether a film is a Christmas movie or just a film set at Christmas, I describe to the theory that it's a Christmas film if it's set at Christmas, because some of these will really stretch the definition of "Christmas Movie", but anyway here we go (in alphabetical order).
1 - Batman Returns (1992) - see what I mean, many people would argue about Batman Returns being a Christmas movie (and many would argue about how much of a Batman movie it is), but it's a pretty great movie from Tim Burton in his prime.
2 - A Christmas Story (1983) - it never quite become the Christmas cult classic in the UK like it did in the USA, but I did see it as a child thanks to the Sky Movies, even if I never seen it has an adult, the film would have stuck with me.
3 - Die Hard (1988) - the exact film I had the debate on whether it was a Christmas movie, and your entitled to your opinion if you think differently but I still think Christmas is a key theme in this movie.
5 - Gremlins (1984) - another film I've seen the whole
7 - It's A Wonderful Life (1946)
8 - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)
10 - The Muppet Christmas Carol
11 - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
12 - The Nightmare Before Christmas
13 - Rocky IV - Rocky Balboa fights Ivan Drago on Christmas Day, the film is set in the run up to Christmas, so it qualifies as far as I'm concerned.
