I'm amazed at the breadth of this list -- I'm a pretty serious film buff and I was amazed at some of the films you guys coughed up (Croupier! Tapeheads! The Tall Guy!).
Anyway, here's a few more. Several people have chimed in about Miller's Crossing but the underrated Coen Bros. gem is Barton Fink, wich despite winning the Cannes Film Festival, it seems no one has actually seen it.
Also, Performance, Bubba Ho-Tep, The Mission and all the LOTR fans should be required to sit through Meet the Feebles.
As someone who have read him on numerous occaisons before, let me say that Palast is an unreliable, severly biased and borderline deranged journalist. Regardless of the questions that are raised about Bush's TANG service, CBS badly bungled the story by any professional standard. Period.
Calexico - Gift X-Change
Coldplay - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Grandaddy - Alan Parsons in a Winter Wonderland
Ella Fitzgerald - Sleigh Ride
Low - Little Drummer Boy
Ron Sexsmith - Maybe This Christmas
Run DMC - Christmas in Hollis
Jack Johnson - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Roy Orbison - Pretty Paper
U2 - Christmas Baby Please Come Home
Ben Folds - Lonely Christmas Eve

In "What the hell is happening at McMurdo?"
Seriously, not one joke or reference to "The Thing" in this entire thread? I'm severely dissapointed in all of you...
