20 Vintage Holiday Movies That Will Never Go Out Of Style

Holiday flicks are easier to find than ever. But it's hard to beat a classic Christmas song-and-dance picture. The heyday of big screen holiday movies (often musicals) hit in the '40s, as Hollywood embraced the "true meaning of Christmas" being far more than consumerism and these tried-and-true flicks are still favorites.

Here are 20 vintage movies, from perennial classics like It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street to some lesser-seen gems like Jimmy Durante's A Christmas Wish or Tenth Avenue Angel with Margaret O'Brien. There are musicals, capers, heists, comedies, children's films--something for everyone in the family to enjoy on a cold winter's eve.
