    I know it's actually a Thanksgiving film but I always think of Planes, Trains & Automobiles as a Christmas film. I'd also go for Trading Places.

    I would choose that too. Pretty good trilogy of films that. Loved them in the 80s.

    Re: Scrooge, with Alastair Sim

    I'm with BigLil for these films, and as a Bailey myself, my favourite is It's a Wonderful Life with a special performance of James Stewart as "George Bailey".

    I also appreciate the 1947 version of Miracle on 34th Street with Edmund Gwenn and a young Natalie Wood. I also enjoy the musical version of Scrooge with Albert Finney.

    Some nice bits of dark humour in there.

    Not exactly a Christmas film, but Labyrinth used to get shown every year and it is class, one of Jim Henson's most under-rated works. I also think that Love Actually transcends the cheese and is a brilliant piece of throwaway cinema.
