It may be predictable, but A Christmas Story. I grew up with it and the 24 hour marathon with my parents and for the most part we still keep the tradition alive with my family. Wrap gifts to it, open gifts to it, waiting to eat dinner and still watching it. Of course you only see snip its throughout the day so its not like I see it 20 times, but more likely around 4 times in a year.
The Man Who Invented Christmas has quickly become a favorite. I've always been a sucker for A Christmas Carol and love every iteration of it. Especially the Muppets and Scrooged. But this is a new take on it with the focus on the writing of the book. "And Tiny Tim who DID NOT die..."
I went into this expecting like a throwaway slapstick comedy but it's weirdly kinda deep and surrealist at times. Like just the shots alone and color scheme of the sets look crazy.

I love The Man Who Invented Christmas, because I'm a sucker for Dan Stevens, and a follow up with The Muppets Christmas Carol is the best.

I torrented Shrek in like quad audio, the Italian dub is pretty funny.
He's like "eyy donkeh, no bene!"

Scrooged.
Just so packed with knock out one-liners, plus the monologue Bill Murray gives at the end is incredible.

One modern one that deserves a mention: 8-Bit Christmas.
That one will likely stick around for us. So well done.

The Polar Express is the only one I usually watch for Christmas. I don't watch a ton of holiday movies but that one brings back memories as a kid.
