What is your favorite Christmas film? [View all]

Now that it is that time of year, I was wondering what everyone's favorite Christmas films are? I also include films that are set at Christmas but not considered traditional Christmas films.

I like Gremlins, Trading Places, The Shop Around the Corner, The Apartment and Miracle on 34th Street.
