Miracle on 34th Street should be higher. And, as cool as Die Hard was, it's not the best 'Christmas' movie.

Miracle on 34th Street should be higher. And, as cool as Die Hard was, it's not the best 'Christmas' movie.

I think Die Hard may be the most entertaining Christmas movies though.

However my #1 choice would be It's A Wonderful Life.  A truly wonderful, life-affirming film.

But I'm really pleased that Batman Returns is in the top ten.

I would make my own list but I have not seen 30, or even 20, I am not so sure.
