Five Must See Christmas Movies
One of the many traditions of Christmas in America is the portray of Christmas in the cinema. The following films are some of those classics that stand among the dozens of Yule-tide themed movies that are aired non-stop through the month of December
The Nightmare Before Christmas: Best Not Christmas Christmas Movie
Tim Burton’s cult classic about Jack Skellington’s adventure in Christmas Town is seasoned with a memorable cast of characters and the music by Burton’s go-to composer Danny Elfman. Though not technically a Christmas movie, the story of Jack and Sally is a must-see. Rated PG for “scary images.”
Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Best Saving Christmas movie
Whether it’s the 1966 cartoon narrated by Boris Karloff, or the 2000 version directed by Ron Howard starring Jim Carrey and Taylor Momsen, this story taken from legendary children’s author Dr. Seuss reminds us that Christmas is about more than a tree and the gifts underneath it. Little Cindy Lou Who saves Christmas not through heroic actions, but through her heart. The 1966 cartoon version has no rating, and the 2000 live-action version is rated PG for crude humor.
It’s a Wonderful Life: Best Christmas Classic that airs non-stop from Thanksgiving
This 1946 classic starring James Stewart and Henry Travers has stood the test of time. More than six decades after its release it remains a Christmas staple in households across the world. The story of George Bailey’s heartwarming journey through the world without him ever being born reminds us that our life is worth more than our struggles. Though not rated, it is usually broadcast on television using FCC censoring standards.
The Polar Express: Best Christmas Movie to watch while drinking hot chocolate with your family
Tom Hanks voices may characters in this computer animated adaptation of Chris Van Allsburg’s Caldecott storybook by the same name. The film carries the tradition of Christmas spirit, telling the story of children who are doubting the existence of Santa Clause boarding a train to the North Pole. It has great songs and dances, making it a fun choice for the whole family. Rated G.
Home Alone: Best Child Abandonment Christmas Movie
The unforgettable story starring Macaulay Culkin of a child left behind by his family while they vacation for Christmas. Although a story about an eight year old in a house by himself is amusing by itself, the movie adds humor by having the child thwart criminals by making booby traps. This classic is no doubt the source of countless Joe Pesci nightmares. Rated PG for mild language
