If you don't listen to Michael Bublé’s Holiday Station on Pandora for a month straight, eat a disgusting amount of the Pillsbury Snowman cookies or watch a concerning number of Christmas movies, is it really Christmas? Technically, yes, if you're a Scrooge who sucks the fun out of everything. But to me, it just really isn't the holidays until I watch Elf for the 600th time. In conclusion, Christmas movies are one of the finer things in life, and if you want to fully immerse yourself into this year’s holiday season, I suggest you binge watch them immediately. Here’s a list of the 10 best Christmas movies of all time.
10. The Nightmare Before Christmas
To be completely honest, I'm not the biggest fan of Tim Burton movies, mostly because they scare the crap out of me. But this one is a classic.
9. Rudolf The Red-Nosed Reindeer
Words cannot describe the joy I feel when I see little Rudolf lighting up the night with his very shiny nose. The Abominable Snowman, Yukon Cornelius and the whole squad of misfit toys are certainly a force to be reckoned with.
8. Home Alone
Nothing's better than watching a young Macaulay Culkin in his element, wreaking havoc throughout his empty house. If your favorite part of this movie isn't when Marv gets an iron straight to the face, I don't think I can truly trust you.
7. It's A Wonderful Life
If you haven't seen this oldie, I suggest you stop whatever you're doing (especially if it's studying for finals) and watch it. You won't be disappointed. Also you will definitely cry.
6. The Polar Express
Even though this movie makes me depressed that I wasn't one of the lucky elite invited onto the luxury train that is the Polar Express, I still love it.
5. The Santa Clause
This includes all of The Santa Clause movies, however many there may be .... It's just impossible to not love watching a morbidly obese Tim Allen getting himself into all sorts of Christmas shenanigans.
4. How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
If you're trying to kill 40 minutes whilst simultaneously preparing yourself for December 25th, I suggest you watch this movie.
3. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Jim Carrey Version)
In my completely unprofessional but super relevant opinion, the newest version of The Grinch is simply one of the best movies ever made. Watching a very hairy Jim Carrey rob the young Whos in Whoville of their Jing Tinglers and Flu Floopers is about as entertaining as it gets.
2. Elf
Elf is easily the most quotable Christmas movie of all time. Which, often times, gets to be unbearably annoying. However, "Buddy The Elf, Whats Your Favorite Color?" quotes instantly become acceptable during the month of December. If you say you don't love this movie, you are clearly sitting on a throne of lies.
1. A Christmas Story
Without a doubt, this movie defines Christmas. There is nothing more classic than watching Ralphie's younger brother waddle his way to school or Scut Farkus being an absolute menace in his raccoon hat. You'll shoot your eye out, kid.
