What's Your Favorite Holiday Movie?
The Netflix Community Blog pointed to a list of holiday movies created by Netflix subscriber Phatz. Phatz also created a number of category lists: Christmas comedies, drama, Christmas - animated / kids, Christmas - Santa Clause, elfs, Christmas - snowmen, Christmas - reindeer, Christmas - music & dance, Christmas - a deeper look, Christmas - horror / not so jolly, Christmas - specials, and Christmas - Watch Instantly.
You can learn how to make your own custom lists through the Netflix help system.
Some of my favorite holiday movies include It's a Wonderful Life, A Nightmare Before Christmas, Christmas Time in South Park, A Miracle on 34th Street, Family Man, and A Christmas Story.
What are your favorite holiday movies?
Die Hard 1 & 2 of course! A little non-traditional but I don't care.

It's a wonderful life. Can't get through the 'holiday's' without. A Christmas story is a fun one to watch with the kids.

Die Hard is hands down the greatest Christmas movie ever made. Now I have a machine gun, ho ho ho.
