I'm the first to admit that I love a good Christmas movie.  I've literally watched some of my favorites dozens of times, and I still like them!  Well, Rotten Tomatoes released their Top 25 Best Christmas Movies of All Time.  Their scores are a combination of critics' and viewers' scores for the best Christmas movies -- what do you think, any glaring omissions?

Below are the top 10 Christmas movies they listed.  The only one I find egregious is that Elf is number 14, when clearly it's number one :-).

    Holiday Inn (1940)

    Critics Consensus:With the combined might of Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, and Irving Berlin working in its favor, Holiday Inn is a seasonal classic - not least because it introduced "White Christmas" to the world.
