#4 Scrooged

Who doesn't love Bill Murray? Scrooged is based on the Dicken's classic “A Christmas Carol”. Bill Murray plays a cold blooded, ruthless business man who doesn't care about anyone or anything - not even Christmas. With the help of the three Christmas ghosts, Bill Murray discovers the joys of friends, family, and the Holidays.

#3 Scrooge

This is a 1970 musical version of A Christmas Carol and it stars acting legend - Albert Finney. I just love all the fun and happy tunes -  especially "I Like Life"!

#2 It's a Wonderful Life

It's just not Christmas without watching It's a Wondeful Life starring Jimmy Stewart. Jimmy plays George Bailey, a man down on his luck who wishes he was never born. A Christmas angel grants him his wish and George gets a glimpse at how horrible everyone's life would be without him....and how horrible life would be without them!

#1 A Christmas Story

This isn't my video but I agree with the commentary. I also watch this movie every Christmas season. In a Christmas Story, Ralphie (played by Peter Billingsly) tries to convince his parents, teacher, and Santa Claus that he needs to have Red Ryder BB Gun. Of course all the adults think he'll shoot his eye out!
