With the Holidays, what are your favorite films for the season?.........

My, and my families, favorite is "Holiday Inn".   It is the film that introduced so many songs and has Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby.  The "made for money" remake of "White Christmas" was simply to capitalize on the popularity of the song to make more money....not a bad film, but "Holiday Inn" has the class that the remake does not.
  
What are some of your families favorite holiday movies?  My children loved the two original Home Alone films.  Fun, but not the musical history and "class" that Holiday Inn is. 

You may know of a motel chain that picked up on the name, "Holiday Inn".

Boy, thanks to all.....you must be in the holiday spirit.   My best man at my wedding, and great friend, is Jewish....he married a Catholic woman......and their kids get presents from both grandparents ...and, to use a phrase, rake it in.   

I will keep up with this thread as I feel I will have some new favorites to watch.  As for Christmas music, I have many great ones.  Most of them you would know, an unusual one is from Tuck Andress:

Tuck Andress - Hymns, Carols And Songs About Snow - Amazon.com Music
