"What's The Best Holiday Movie?" or "Because 'Life Is Beautiful' Is To Depressing"
Which my dad so recently stated when asking me if I owned any holiday flicks. In that vein, aside from anything spectacularly Catholic...
...I volunteered "The Mighty." Which has nothing on The Ref. Which starts out at dysfunctional marriage and gets more Christmas-y from there. Happy holidays, ya filthy animals! |

...Die Hard? Hell, I dunno. My family watched Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke for Christmas Eve, I'm not familiar with holiday narratives.
The animated version of How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a stone classic, tho.

I only came here to post Die Hard and am glad I was beaten to it.

Burn.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
Die Hard is not a holiday movie.

I'll second Muppet Christmas Carol.
I'm also partial to We're No Angels (the version from 1955. The 1980's version is COMPLETELY different; not even the same plot). Three convicts (and their pet, a poisonous snake named Adolf) try to escape Devil's Island on Christmas by robbing a general store and sneaking aboard a cruise ship. The problem? The store owners are too darn nice. Featuring Humphrey Bogart in a rare comedic role, and Peter Ustinov, whom you might recognize as the voice of Prince John from the Disney animated Robin Hood. The only Christmas movie in which Christmas is saved because two people get "accidentally" murdered.

It takes place on Christmas Eve.
It's a Christmas movie.
