The Best Holiday Movies Ever (At Least for Me)

Every yuletide, Hollywood takes another run at box office gold. Usually, those new Christmas DVDs are in the circular bin at the 99¢ store by Valentine's day.

What makes a classic a classic? Well, they endure. They are timeless. And they tell an ageless story without relying on CGI gimmickry.

So light the fire, dim the lights, grab a quilt, pour a hot toddy and marinate yourself in these Christmas flicks.

It's A Wonderful Life (1946)

It's nearly a dead heat with A Christmas Carol, but George Bailey edges out Ebenezer with the sizzling Donna Reed phone kiss, which nearly melted the Bakelite handset.
