Christmas: The Nightmare before Christmas and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Halloween: ALL THE SCARY MOVIES!!! (Heck, I watch them year round. XD)

Hogfather and The Color of Magic are probably going to be my new Christmas movies, now, though, lmao. Both are hilarious. Hogfather's really deep, though, at points. I thought it was pretty...well...ballsy for it to say the things it was saying at certain points.

Halloween: Pretty much anything that's scary and of interest to me. xD I don't have any one movie in particular. This year happened to be the Alien trilogy. :>

Thanksgiving: That one Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special.

Christmas: Any of those movies played on ABC Family, A Christmas Story, etc.

I know it has absolutely nothing to do with the holiday itself but I think I've watched The Lord of the Rings trilogy every Christmas since those movies came out. The whole holiday just doesn't feel right without them anymore... :XD:

Christmas- Elf, Hogfather (although that can be seen any time of year guilt free)
Halloween- Coraline, The Nightmare Before Christmas

And although it's not a holiday, if any of my friends have a sleepover, we always watch Mean Girls.

Well, I like to watch the original Miracle on 34th Street, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Scrooge (the Albert Finny musical) for Christmas.
I also watch The Best Years of Our Lives on New Years Day because that's when the networks in my area used to air it and it's a habit.
Halloween? The networks usually accommodate me no matter what with Shaun of the Dead, but I throw in The Others and, this year, saw and enjoyed The Mist, so I wouldn't mind seeing it on next Halloween -- though it might remind me too much of what happened this year, now that I think on it.

Halloween:
The Crow, Scary Movie 3, Nightmare Before Christmas

Christmas/Hanukkah:
8 Crazy Nights, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (cartoon), A Christmas Story, Rudolph, and most important, Muppet Christmas Carol.

New Years Eve:
Random movie that my friends or sister spick out, or "Labyrinth" as a default. Why "Labyrinth?" Because New Years is such a small, bland holiday, that the only item I can really associate with it's "theme" is glitter.

Thanksgiving:
South Park Thanksgiving special, "Starvin' Marvin." Giant man-eating turkeys are the only thing I look forward to on this dull commercial break between Halloween and the Winter Holidays.

Passover:
The 10 Commandments, on TV (oddly, I've never seen it from start to finish, though)
And the Rugratz Passover special, if I can get a hold of it

July 4th:
A few song numbers from 1776 when it airs on TV. I watched in the full way through once in class, at age 11, and to this day find it quite funny.

Definitely A Christmas Story. That one never gets old. Did ya heat about the "official" sequel that's out?

And Nightmare before Christmas, even though it's also a Halloween movie.
