Best Christmas Movies

If you've no where to go this Christmas, dont worry, I've compile a list of the best Christmas movies for you!!! If you could think of others - please feel free to include them here!!!!

1. The Santa Clause
My Favorite Christmas movie
When a man inadvertently kills Santa on Christmas Eve, he finds himself magically recruited to take his place. Starring comedian Tim Allen, this is the first of a light-hearted Christmas trio of movies. Don’t waste your time (or money) watching the sequels – this is by far the best of the three Santa Clause films. I seriously love this movie!!!!
2. Nightmare before Christmas
When Jack Skellington, the bored Pumpkin King of Halloweentown, stumbles upon Christmastown, he decides to change Christmas into another Halloween. He kidnaps Santa Claus then delivers some alternative gifts to the children. A stop-motion animated classic directed by Tim Burton, it has all the dark and dazzling Burton magic you would expect, full of twisted characters and stunning imagery.
3. Home Alone
When 8-year-old Kevin McCallister is accidentally left behind while his family flies to France for Christmas, he has to defend his home against idiotic burglars. Child star Macaulay Culkin stars in this black comedy for kids that is super charming.
4. The Polar Express
On Christmas Eve, a doubting boy boards a magical train that's headed to the North Pole and Santa Claus's home. An animated film voiced by Tom Hanks, this is as spectacular to look at as it is touching and enchanting.
5. The Grinch
Inside a snowflake is the magical land of Whosville, populated by the ‘Whos’. All the Whos love Christmas – except for The Grinch, a nasty creature who plots to steal Christmas away forever. Jim Carey stars in this live action film that brings the Dr Seuss classic children’s book to life
6. Bad Santa (2003)
Rude, crude and surprisingly touching, Bad Santa is a dark comedy starring Billy Bob Thornton as a con man masquerading as a mall Santa. Out to rip off stores full of Christmas goodies, this bad Santa’s plans come unstuck when he befriends a troubled kid who needs his help.

  2. Trading Places (1983)
    Movie is abt Rich Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Aykroyd) who is forced to literally trade places with street bum Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) as part of a wager.

    As in "Christmas is a time to remember those less fortunate than yourself." Great movie!!!

    1. That's when Eddie Murphy is still making good movies. Too bad we've not seen anything good from him since!
