Toss between the Grinch and Rudolph. Now a days, I'm partial to A Christmas Story. I lived on the street where it was filmed and work in Cleveland and would watch the filiming at Higbee's. Many of my friends and neighbors were extras in the movie. It's funny, the year the movie was made, it was probably the warmest it had ever been in Cleveland for a very long time. We had our doors open on Christmas day, the temps were something like 70 degrees. There definitely was no snow on the ground. The movie people had to blow snow in (like they do at the ski resorts) to cover the streets for the the movie.
The house in which the movie was filmed has been turned into a museum. Countless people visit it around the holidays. Unfortunately, the neighborhood isn't what it used to be, but it is nice to see a great tribute to the movie.
