I like Miracle on 34th Street, too, but like you said, I don't love it. Do you prefer the newer or older version?
The older, classic one is a must-see for me.
Others I love at this time of year:
Meet Me in St. Louie (I LOVE this movie)
Charlie Brown Christmas
The Grinch - animated and live-action
Little Women - both versions (well, of the three, the last two)
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Elf (I love when they sing the duet)
Holiday Inn
White Christmas
Mr. Magoo's Christmas (it's been ages since I've seen that)
The Little Drummer Boy
Frosty the Snowman
The Gift of the Magi (my fave is with Marie Osmond)
Santa Claus is coming to town
A Christmas Carol
Polar Express
The Walton Christmas show
The Little House on the Prairie Christmas show
That's off the top of my head, but I'll be watching all of them, if I can.
Man, I miss my mom -- this was HER holiday...
