Pretty tough and loaded question, hard to distill it down for sure.

1. It's a Wonderful Life
- Story about a man pushed to the brink and on the verge of suicide until god sends down a guardian Angel who shows him what the world would be like if he had never been born. Timeless classic for all times of the year, not just during the Christmas Season.

2. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
- Westerns are one of my favorite genres, and this film is tough to beat. Amazing score and a classic story weaving through the American Civil War

3. Dark Knight
- Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker, best comic book movie of All Time

4. High Noon
- Again with the Western Genre. Emphasizing a sheriff's "duty", regardless of the outcome and consequences culminating in a gun fight at "High Noon". Scene with the clock as he is writing his will and testament still stands as one of the best in cinematic history

5. Die Hard
- Would be the greatest movie set during Christmas time if "It's a Wonderful life" didn't exist, always a fun romp and arguably the best action movie of all time. Alan Rickman is very memorable here as well.
