Christmas Vacation
This is the third Vacation movie in the series starring Chevy Chase and Beverly D' Angelo. It is not only one of the funniest Vacation movie but one of the funniest Christmas movie EVER. It just shows the nutty, screwball side of Christmas and having family home for the holidays.
Scrooged
This is a spin off of A Christmas Carol starring Bill Murray. This is very dark but very funny. It is a different take on the classic tale but succeeds very well. Only recommended if you like dark humor or Bill Murray.
A Christmas Carol (2009)
This is a new adaptation starring Jim Carrey as Scrooge. This has become one of my favorites adaptations of the tale and with Jim's acting, makes it very funny. While it is a Disney movie, it gets very dark, especially when the ghost of Christmas future appears. I highly recommend it, but not for little, little ones.
A Muppet Christmas Carol
It's in the title. This is a Muppet twist on the tale now. This has been a favorite since I was little. Micheal Caine plays Scrooge this time, and does very well. This is more for kids but still is a great one to watch on Christmas even if your an adult.
The Family Stone
While this movie can be pretty sad, it is one of the best ones that shows how families really are and how even though you may fight, you all are still a family. This stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson, Diane Keaton and Craig T Nelson.
It's a Wonderful Life
I, of course, can't forget this timeless classic. It took me a long time to finally appreciate this movie. But, it is shown every year on NBC but so worth watching any other time of the year other than Christmas.
A Christmas Story
This is a great way to end the list. This is a Christmas classic. I wouldn't go as far as to say own it, because it's on all Christmas eve and Christmas day on TBS. But it is so worth watching a couple times while wrapping your last minute gifts or whatever you do. It has classic lines and is just so funny.
* * UPDATE * *
Home Alone and Home Alone 2This is a classic here. I almost forgot about these two yesterday. These movies star Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. It is not exactly a 'Christmas' movie, but it does take place on Christmas and it defiantly gets the family and Christmas meaning across. And... they are hysterical movies, with Macaulay Culkin setting up all these traps and watching Joe and Daniel as 'wet bandits' try to catch him. I highly recommend these movies for the entire family on Christmas or any time during the year.

Bad Santa
This is being requested to be put up by a fellow reader. While I didn't origanally want this up here, I was trying to stay close to family type movies, I thought i might as well; get some adult humor on here.
This movie stars Billy Bob Thorton as a drunk, nasty, homless looking mall Santa. Him and his elf are actually robbers that go mall to mall stealing things. While this maybe a Christmas movie it is NOT one to watch with family. It is VERY vulgar, it is full of sex, drinking, and cussing. But if you want some Naughty fun this year, rent this one.
