There are plenty of Christmas movies around, but which are considered the best? Of course it depends on how you want to break it down - kids, adults or both, but generally speaking the following would have to be on the list somewhere:-
* Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer - the old Burl Ives narrated, claymation one! * Elf  * Miracle On 34th St. * A Christmas Carol * The Santa Claus * Home Alone * The Polar Express * The Grinch What would you add to the list???
