In this Top 10 special, we will be doing a non-music theme.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Miracle On 34th Street (1947)

Ack, the exact two I was going to nominate. Didn't you and Shawna give me a little piece of that brain at one point?

That was a great one Laur...John Payne, Donna Reed and a little girl named Natalie Wood.

Maureen O'Hara was the mom, not Donna Reed .... Donna is in It's a Wonderful Life.

March Of The Wooden Soldiers- Laurel & Hardy (1934)

phil, isn't this Babes in Toyland? Another favorite of mine.

I checked, and you are right, Babes in Toyland (1934) was re-released in the '50's as March of the Wooden Soldiers. I'm a sucker for old Christmas films.

A Christmas Story (my kids all time favorite)

It's a great movie (that Peaches already nominated).

[Lucky 5]

Oh Good Lord, ok scratch that.

[phil 7]

Lucky, it is Babes In Toyland. I've always known it as March Of The Wooden Soldiers. But, Laurel & Hardy are very funny in that movie. It was always played on local TV, during Christmas season.

The Santa Clause

Holiday Inn (White Christmas)

[Shawna 1]

every single one of my most favorte Christmas movies has already been nominated!

[Wyld Card 5]

then just go along with the voting and skip out on the nominating. I think this category is hard to come up with 32-40+ noms.

[Lucky 5]

Holiday Inn (White Christmas)

These are actually 2 different films. I've already nominated White Christmas the 1954 film starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney & Vera Ellen.

Holiday Inn is a 1942 film starring Bing & Fred Astaire, and is the film that originally introduced Bing's song White Christmas.

I'll change (if i may) my Holiday Inn to a better movie:

Prancer

Ron, I just wasn't sure which one you were going with, they are easily confused. Although I personally like Holiday Inn as well.
