Christmas Movie Suggestion.

Around Christmas time, I like to watch Christmas movies with my family. I've seen all the big ones like Home Alone, but I do tend to enjoy the old ones. Can anyone recommend some (big-name or obscure) around the time frame of the movies below? They can be from any country.

Here's ones that I have seen that I can remember:
It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
The Shop Around the Corner (1940)
Scrooge (1951)
Christmas in Connecticut (1945)
The Bishop's Wife (1947)
Holiday (1938)
A Christmas Carol (1938)
Meet John Doe (1941)
The Man Who Came to Dinner (1942)
It Happened on Fifth Avenue (1947)
I'll Be Seeing You (1944)
Scrooge (1935)
The Great Rupert (1950)
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)

Thanks in advance.

Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story are a must watch for me. Haven't seen The Family Stone.

Prancer (1989), stars Sam Elliott and Cloris Leachman.

Going by the cover, I didn't expect much, despite the good cast, but it was good.

White Reindeer (2013) is way off the beaten path for xmas movies. I thought it would be just a typical Christmas movie when I started it but it sure wasn't. I hadn't read any of the description or anything so was way surprised by this indie movie.

P.S. Sorry I didn't read your entire post when seeing that you wanted family movies, and this one is certainly not. I'll leave it here anyways.

How about Muppets Christmas Carol?
