Not yet! Too early.

But I'm a sucker for "A Christmas Story." You'll shoot your eye out...

I love White Christmas. I watch it alone every year since my family is so tired of it....but Bing Crosby...(then I watch [i]The Bells of St. Mary)[/i]

Here are my picks: (I can think of only two off the top of my head right now.)

[url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032981/"]Remember the Night(1940)[/url]
(More of a "Holiday Film" than a "Christmas Film", as are most supposedly Christmas-themed-Hollywood-films. And yet, this film that starts off as a comedy shows more moral fibre than many other such films.)

[url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064612/"]My Night At Maud's (1969)[/url]
(One of Eric Rohmer's films, (the third of his Six Moral Tales series.) this is a film that has a more serious tone than the above. Though not explicitly about Christmas, the time setting of the story is the week of Christmas. If I remember right, Rohmer is known to have explored Catholic ideas like the hidden working of grace in his films. This is a French-language-film. Those of us who don't know the language will have to make do with subtitles.)

I have not started watching Christmas movies because I don't like to begin until after Thanksgiving. But I have some absolute favorites that have become a family tradition to watch:

A Christmas Story
It's a Wonderful Life
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
Home Alone
Home Alone 2: Lost In New York
The Nativity Story
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (I love Aunt Bethany and Uncle Lewis)
The Santa Clause
While You Were Sleeping (I LOVE this movie!)

One of the best clips:
