more great content for this list we’re
looking at more of our favorite
Christmas movies but focusing on films
where Christmas plays a large role in
the plot and excluding alternative
Christmas movies like die hard no matter
how awesome it is number 10
Love Actually whether you love it or not
nobody can deny that this rom-com loses
Christmas spirit while we all know the
main storylines it’s the minor ones that
really shine here the aging rock star
who professes his love for his manager
the porn stand-ins who adorably fall in
love the little kid who wants to impress
his crush by playing drums and
eventually runs through Heathrow Airport
in a totally unrealistic post-911 way no
matter how many times we see it every
holiday season we remember why we
actually love this movie
[Music]
number nine Bad Santa I’ve seen some
pretty shitty situations in my life but
nothing has ever sucked more ass than
this based on the premise alone you can
tell that Bad Santa isn’t gonna be a
conventional holiday movie Billy Bob
Thornton stars as Willy T silk an
alcoholic and sex addict who dresses up
as a mall Santa in an elaborate scheme
to rob department stores his
collaborator is Marcus who plays one of
Santa’s elves as dark and mean-spirited
as this black comedy candy I said max
goddamn it our main character does
manage to find an eensy-weensy bit of
good in himself and embrace the magic of
the holidays it’s ultimately a tale of
redemption and in Willie’s case even the
slightest good deed could be seen as a
Christmas miracle okay make me some
sandwiches I gotta go to the mall and
talk to somebody and I’ll be back for
dinner yeah that’s what I said
yeah number eight the Bishop’s wife
there are too many people who don’t know
where they’re going and they want to get
there too fast if you haven’t seen this
classic Christmas movie put it on your
list this holiday season the Bishop’s
wife Starr’s old Hollywood film stars
David Niven Cary Grant and Loretta Young
telling the story of a bishop who asks
for divine intervention in his quest to
build a cathedral grant plays Dudley an
angel who comes to lead the bishop onto
the right path the story culminates on
Christmas Eve when all the characters
have finally realized what is really
important to them and all is right with
the world let us ask ourselves what he
would wish for most
and then that each put in his shed
number seven the Polar Express I please
even if you didn’t see this robert
zemeckis film as a kid it’ll undoubtedly
make you feel young at heart especially
when viewed during Christmas time based
on a children’s picture book of the same
name the Polar Express uses a unique 3d
animation style that makes it feel
almost real the story is one with
childhood nostalgia following a boy who
boards a train headed for the North Pole
coming out in 2004 this movie is one of
the newer releases on our list but it
has all the makings of a perennial
holiday classic if you believe you know
you’ll still hear that bell ring no
matter how old you are well you’re
coming number 6
The Nightmare Before Christmas welcome
to Halloweentown
all hail the pumpkin king from the mind
of Tim Burton this stop-motion animated
film has developed a massive cult
following and it’s hero has become an
emblem of misunderstood souls everywhere
nobody does Halloween quite like Jack
Skellington but he decides to try
celebrating a new holiday upon stumbling
upon Christmas town what ensues is a
holiday mashup of epic proportions as
the season to be jolly clashes with the
season to be scary the big question is
do you watch this movie at Halloween at
Christmas or both hmm
number five the Muppet Christmas Carol
welcome to the Muppet Christmas Carol
based on the classic Charles Dickens
story a Christmas carol the muppet
version is a perfect adaptation for the
younger set the well-known tale of
Ebenezer Scrooge his employee Bob
Cratchit and Tiny Tim is modernized to
feature Muppets in all the major roles
as well as a few welcome additions like
gonzo the great playing Dickens himself
and Rizzo the rat adding humorous
commentary throughout to early for
breakfast yes
good secretary oh and of course there’s
Michael Caine as Scrooge the songs are
catchy
the story is time-honored and the jokes
never get old the Muppet Christmas Carol
will always be a favorite humbug number
four a Christmas Carol also known as
Scrooge speaking of Dickens we’ve got
another adaptation of this well-known
story on our list today there have been
multiple live-action movies made
retelling this well-loved holiday tale
and one of our favorites has to be the
1951 version internationally it was
titled Scrooge but in the u.s. it’s
known simply as a Christmas Carol
starring Alastair sim as Scrooge himself
the film is a fairly close rendition of
Dickens novella and Sims performance is
a memorable one if you want to go
old-school this Christmas give this one
a try number three Rudolph the red-nosed
reindeer over the years Rankin and bass
productions released a slew of animated
specials that went on to achieve
Christmas classic status while there
were several worthy candidates for this
list we’re singling out their 1964
stop-motion version of Rudolph the
red-nosed reindeer Rudolph I think
you’re cute the special won the hearts
of many with its timeless Tunes
inventive story and unforgettable cast
of characters featuring an elf who wants
to be a dentist of bouncing bumble a
helpful prospector and of course the
eponymous red-nosed reindeer no holiday
season is complete without it number two
white Christmas
why are you dreaming of a white
Christmas no matter where in the world
you lived you can have one when watching
this vintage holiday movie the
well-known holiday tomb was previously
performed by Bing Crosby in 1942 s
Holiday Inn but was reprised in this
1954 film
[Music]
Crosbie also stars in white Christmas
which is set after world war two and
tells the story of two entertainers who
have to work together to save their
commanders Lodge it’s a heartwarming
setup that’s sure to bring out the
Christmas spirit in all of us before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions
what then cook it down now number one a
Charlie Brown Christmas when it comes to
annual Christmas specials is there
anyone you look forward to watching more
than this after viewing a Charlie Brown
Christmas you could never look at an
artificial tree the same way again you
might even be more inclined to pick out
the saddest one in the lot all decorated
and we don’t be just right for our play
this special has been airing since 1965
and there’s a reason it’s never gone out
of style it’s so simple and yet so
poignant sincere and touching art your
dance moves ready for the school
