It's a Wonderful Life. I have watched it for about 20 years straight at Christmas time.

I'm a tough guy but don't mind saying a tear comes to my eye at the end of the show every year. :)

Home alone, home alone 2, Christmas vacation, Christmas story, the Santa Claus, and Christmas with the cranks. I end up watching a lot of tv so I usually see them all about once a year

GCS is awesome, but the Alistair Sim gets my vote

I watch all the classics, usually don't watch them more than once all the way through.

Chevy Chase Christmas Vacation - as many times as I have to.
Home Alone 1. - every 5 years.
Die Hard - all time action classic, seen about 10 times and can probably go about 10 more (if I live long enough).

James, I watched this the other day due to your thread for the first time since it came out and it was fun and not too sweet. Funny to see that little kid who grew up to be a magical seer in Game of Thrones.

I'll be watching Wonderful Life and Groundhog Day again, seen them many times. Never seen White Christmas but they loved it on Gogglebox so will give it a go.
