As another thread mentioned most people(myself included) consider Die Hard a Christmas movie. I like a lot of the older traditional ones like Miracle on 34th street and A Christmas Carol, but I think one of my favorite non traditional ones would have to be Gremlins. I was wondering what other ones every one else was into.

Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
As for other non-traditional Christmas movies...
Long Kiss Goodnight - Geena Davis, Samuel L Jackson
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - Robert Downey Jr., Val Kilmer
The Ref - Denis Leary
Brazil - (Terry Gilliam film) Jonathan Pryce, Robert De Niro
Batman Returns - Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer
Loads more too... those are the ones I try to see from year to year in December.

Violent Night. Just released a few weeks ago. It was fun, an action packed take on Die Hard but with Santa Claus instead of McClane.
Also Krampus
Also Krampus
Gremlins, Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman Returns, Bad Santa… and Krampus is one I would recently add that I really like. I’m also big into horror movies, so combining creepy/horror with Christmas and I’m in!
Edit: I almost forgot Scrooged. Bill Murray is amazing in it too, as usual!

Black Christmas, the original 1974 version in which Margot Kidder says "fellatio."
Trading Places (1983) with Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy. Classic!

Look at the bottom left and bottom right corners, and then try to tell me that "First Blood" is not an Xmas movie.
