Any Good Christmas movies?

Three Days of the Condor
May be my favorite espionage thriller (as well as one of those great gritty 70s movies filmed in NYC) and it is subtly Christmas themed. It takes place around Christmas and there are several scenes with Christmas carols playing in the background.
I don't know that the presence of Christmas decorations makes something a Christmas movie. If you're looking at a year or so of someone's life, inevitably a Christmas decoration or reference is going to appear somewhere. In Rosemary's Baby, she goes out one morning for Christmas shopping. I wouldn't say that it is a Christmas movie. 
Well, that settles the debate....

The debate over whether Bruce Willis‘ 1988 action classic Die Hard is a Christmas movie rages on — but the New York and Los Angeles police departments have their minds made up.
“On this Christmas Eve, we’d like to acknowledge our partners at @LAPDHQ who have been working with us to protect Christmas since Hans Gruber’s 1988 attack on Nakatomi Plaza,” New York police tweeted Monday.
They concluded their post with a hashtag declaring “YesItsAChristmasMovie.”
Not sure if it counts as a Christmas movie, but it does have snow in it and is damn near a perfect movie - Paddington.
Here is the definitive analysis of whether Die Hard is a Christmas Movie

Another Love, Actually disliker. I am glad there are others because now we can admit this without being shunned, which wasn't always the case.

Meh. Paddington 2 makes Paddington look like Paddington I.
Interesting choice as a Christmas movie.
