I'm thinking about Christmas movies lacking cloying sentimentality, chintzy set dressings and actors who look like models. Movies that are bittersweet, where instead of fairy-tale dreams coming through and happily-ever-afters, people experience pain and have to grow up a little. Movies that are filmed on days that are more typically winterlike - damp and gray, full of realistic people who act realistically.
It's a wonderful life
Home Alone
Planes, trains, and automobiles (technically thanksgiving, but close enough)
A Christmas story
Miracle on 34th st
Gremlins
Not sure you can find a realistic Christmas movie because Christmas isn't a realistic time of year. Around Christmas, everyone loves everyone, helps the needy, and focuses on giving. Even grouchy cousin Pat smiles a bit.
Then it's over for another year.
