 | Miracle on 34th Street

 | It's a Wonderful Life (60th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $12.93 There's a reason why this film always makes it onto Christmas film lists--a man learns the lesson of Christmas is that we give thanks for what we have and show appreciation for those in our lives that share our journey with us.

 | White Christmas
Buy used from: $19.99 This classic musical explores the idea that Christmas should not be just about giving someone a physical gift to show them you appreciate them--instead, it's actions that often speak louder than gifts.

 | A Christmas Carol (Ultimate Collector's Edition)(B/W & Color)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $13.08 No other story has been more credited with exploring the true meaning of Christmas than Charles Dickens' classic tale. Good will to our fellow man is at the heart of this story, and no other film version gets to the heart of the story better than this classic version with Alastair Sim as Scrooge.

 | A Christmas Carol
Buy new: $6.49 / Used from: $6.48 Almost as good as Alastair Sim, Patrick Stewart brings Scrooge to life in this more modern version of the story. But even though the basic story is the same as the older version, this one actually manages to explore it ever so slightly differently than the other, and is so good in its own right that it should be seen with the other.

 | Home Alone (Family Fun Edition)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $7.09 A wild and crazy Christmas romp that explores the holiday through the eyes of a child who is left alone by accident to survive it.

 | Silent Night
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $4.16 Based on a true story of how one woman's courage and the Christmas holiday brought men from opposing sides in a war together to celebrate Christmas in the worst of times.
