Home Alone is, of course, the quintessential holiday movie for those of us who were lucky enough to have been born in the 80s. I remember seeing it in the theatre and begging my parents to put up the tree as soon as we got home. I also wanted some bad guys to break into my house because I was pretty sure I could take them Macauley Culkin-style.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas The animated version. Don't even try to pull that live action Jim Carrey crap with me.
Batman Returns Not only is it the best Batman movie ever, but it takes place during Christmas. And it has tons of adorable penguins.

A Christmas Story because, well, duh.
Gremlins was not only a touching Christmas tale but it also taught the value of good pet ownership. Just because your adult child is old enough to drink and holds down a full time job at the bank does not mean he's ready for a mogwai.

Scrooged Any re-telling of Dickens' A Christmas Carol is alright with me but add Bill Murray into the mix and that's just the icing on the cake.
Edward Scissorhands The unsung Tim Burton Christmas movie.

| May I see the receipt for those ornaments, Winnie? |
