My wife and I usually watch bunches of Christmas stuff. On DVD, we always watch Charlie Brown, the original Grinch and Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol. We kept It's a Wonderful Life out of the rotation for a couple of years, but it may return this year. My wife likes to watch the Rudolph special from 1964 as well, but I often skip that one.
We usually watch at least one full-length version of A Christmas Carol. The George C. Scott one is definitive, IOHO, so that one always gets watched. We also like the musical version (Scrooge) with Albert Finney. It has great songs, and Finney and Scott approach the Scrooge character entirely differently. So, sometimes, we do both.
We have an old VHS recorded off the Disney channel of a dramatization of Dylan Thomas' A Child's Christmas in Wales, beautifully narrated by the late Denholm Elliot. I think that's the only non-DVD show we watch.
