Super fun movie with a lot of heart. The survivalists (played by Reba McIntyre and Michael Gross) are particularly entertaining.

Like I assume everybody here, I also love “It’s a Wonderful Life,” which may not really qualify for this discussion since it’s such a classic.

I also love “Ernest Saves Christmas,” another fun one with a lot of heart. Jim Varney at his best.

I have watched that movie many times. I think I'll see if it is on Netflix and watch it again!

Great post!

I read someone else posted, Arsenic and Old Lace and I agree 100%! I have it on my DVR and watch it on a regular basis. Also:
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead
Idiocracy
There's Something About Mary
Heartbreak Kid (the later one with Ben Stiller)
The Birdcage
Flirting With Disaster
Burn After Reading

Every time I catch it on TV, I have to watch at least some of it. I can't help it.
